Curry Up Now

Nice ambience, food and service is good. We were there on a Sunday at ~3pm so the place was not busy exactly what we wanted. We tried most of their chats and really appreciated their option for veg Keto bowl especially for those who are trying hard to manage dietary restrictions without having to miss out on comfort food :)

Curry-Up Now has truly outdone itself with their modern California twist on traditional Indian cuisine! From the vibrant atmosphere to the creative dishes, every aspect of this restaurant promises an unforgettable dining experience. The cocktails, like The Mortal & Pestle and Summer Whip, were not only visually stunning but perfectly crafted to balance refreshing and bold flavors. As for the food, the Samosa Chaat and Bhel Puri were authentic yet had a contemporary flair, while the Guac Sev Puri was a delightful fusion that took street food to a whole new level. For mains, the Paneer Naughty Naan was cheesy and satisfying, and the Chicken Tikka Masala Burrito delivered a creative take on comfort food. The Lamb Sexy Fries were indulgent and flavorful, and the Tandoori Fried Sandwich was a crispy, spicy masterpiece. To end on a sweet note, the Hot Balls on Ice was the perfect dessert—an exciting blend of hot and cold with a unique presentation. Chef Das was very kind and staff made sure the service was good

Came here to try their special Diwali menu and it’s amazing. Very flavorful without being too spicy. And drinks are great. And very happy with the service too. Aloo puri halva reminds of home. Really liked palak patta chat and dahi bhalla and a very unique take on croissant dabeli ! Definitely interesting and worth trying. They also have an amazing Japanese whiskey collection. Brandon our server was amazing !

We had a great time here and came during happy hour. We sat at the bar and Brendon was such a fantastic bartender he made the trip even better. We got the Kachori Chaat and Punjabi 69 and they were both delicious. We tried a few different drinks including a couple on the happy hour menu and they hit hard. Really liked this place and the mood was fantastic. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

If you’re looking for a modern take on Indian street food with an ambiance that feels both lively and welcoming, Curry Up Now in San Jose is your destination. During my visit, I sampled a variety of items from their extensive menu, and here’s how it went. The Mango Lassi was creamy and refreshing, while the Chai was perfectly spiced, adding a warm and comforting start to the meal. We tried a variety of small plates that were both creative and delicious. The Pani Puri was a tangy and spicy delight, served with a fun, interactive presentation. The Deconstructed Samosa was a flavorful blend of potatoes and peas, topped with a tangy chutney drizzle. The Guac Sev Puri was a unique fusion of Indian and Mexican flavors, with a creamy avocado base and crunchy sev. The Mini Samosas were crispy and packed with a savory filling, and the Naan Bits were perfect for scooping up all the delicious flavors. We ended the meal with the Gulab Jamun and Daal Halwa. The Gulab Jamun was soft and soaked in a sweet syrup, while the Daal Halwa was rich and textured, offering a unique and satisfying end to the meal. Overall Curry Up Now provides a delightful experience with a creative menu and friendly service. It’s a great spot to explore a fresh twist on classic Indian dishes.

I went with my office colleagues for an informal meet up. Overall good variety of fusion menu. I, being familiar with Indian food, found the panneer wrap ( with default spice level)to be bit too spicy. So be explicit about desired/tolerable spice level when you order. Service was quick. Overall a good place to hangout for lunch.

The restaurant features a retro vibe and offers a unique Indo-Californian menu. We tried several dishes, the Naughty Naan with Paneer, Punjabi 69 (cauliflower version), Pani Puri and Pineapple Frizz. The Pineapple Frizz was the standout, followed closely by the Naughty Naan. The Cauliflower 69 was a bit oily and the Pani Puri didn’t taste as great as we expected due to the Channa stuffing (a potato stuffing might have been better). However, the presentation of the dishes was extraordinary and impressive. We were too full to try their Holy Moly Fried Ravioli or we would have given that a shot. The customer service was excellent, the place was spacious and the ambiance was pleasant. If you are a fan of paneer dishes, this place is definitely worth a visit. Their menu offers vegetarian, non-vegetarian, vegan and gluten-friendly options, accommodating a variety of dietary preferences.

I really want to give them a lower amount of stars based on how little I care about the food but the place doesn't deserve a bad rating. The main issue is that the food just isn't that great and I'd only come for the pani puri. Everything else is small in size and not worth it. Really, the only shining star is the mortar and pestle bar that is connected to this restaurant. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, pani puri, and samosas. They need to offer fries or something more filling than those fried crisps. Also the vibe of the bar and the restaurant just don't mesh well. I won't be coming back for the food. But if I do end up here, I'll be ordering drinks from the bar and pairing it pani puri.

Updating my last review of this location. Nice space to come to for some drinks and food after work as well as a full meal. I came there to pick up a take out order. While I waited for my order to be filled, I went to the bar and had a regular old-fashioned. Served and finished just as the order was delivered to me to take out. Arriving home, the main orders were still hot, but the Perry Perry fries were getting a little cold. However, I will say that even cold they are still good and I ate them with relish. :-) Actually, I ate them with the dipping sauce they come with. And I want to add that their take out packaging is relatively green, which is a very nice thing to discover. The dipping sauce came in a compostable container. The main dish that my wife had came in wax cardboard with a plastic number five liner and the Perry fries also came in wax cardboard. It looks like. Thinking a little hard about it. There may be a little bit of plastic film in that cardboard, but at least it's not all plastic. So come on down!

I wish I could remember the name of the girl who helped us last night, I could tell she was newer to the staff - but she was awesome. She truly went above and beyond to make our experience great. I always look forward to being in this area since Santa Cruz doesn't have a Curry Up Now yet and it's one of my favorites.

I just so happened to sit next to the bar manager Brenden at Curry Up Now/Mortar & Pestle and he recommended the BEST drinks for my best friend and I. He personally crafted the recipe for a ginger & turmeric gin and tonic and a blue Hawaiian. Both were delicious and not too sweets. This is the perfect place for a pick me up. Definitely ask for Brenden the next time you come, he made our night.

Went to Curry Up Now with some coworkers on a Wednesday around 4:30pm. It was not too busy and we just so happened to be there for happy hour which is from 4-6pm. Cocktails were $9 so we ordered the mango sangria and the spicy margarita. Starters/snacks were buy one get one free so we ordered 2 bun samosa, one guac and chips, and one fried ravioli. Then we ordered the naughty naan. Mango sangria (2/5): The waiter put some perfume on it so it smelled good but otherwise it did not taste great. It tasted more like carbonated water and I didn't taste any mango flavor. The cocktail itself was not very strong either Bun samosa (4/5): This was solid. The samosa tasted good and there was a lot of butter on the bun so that tasted good as well. I liked the idea of a samosa burger. The peri peri fries that came with the samosa were alright. Guac and chips (2.5/5): This was average. I did not like the guacamole that much. It could have used more seasoning like salt, pepper, and lime. Ravioli (3.5/5): Simple but tasty. Deep fried cheese ravioli with tikka masala dip. I liked the cheese and the dish was nice and warm. Giving it a 3.5 since it is very straightforward Naughty naan with paneer (3/5): Looked delicious. There was lots of cheese and sauce on it. However, we were not fans of the sauce. It was a little sweet. I would have liked for it to be a little spicier Service was on the slower side and it took time for our food to come out. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our drinks and appetizers. After we placed the order for the naughty naan, that took another 20-25 minutes. Some of the appetizers seem to be frozen and reheated and the happy hour cocktails are not that strong. My coworker also tried the complimentary happy hour chai and he said it did not taste fresh. Some good things were the ambiance and the background music. Our bill came out to be $80 which was not bad for a group of 4 but considering it was happy hour and the food wasn't very fresh, I didn't leave feeling very satisfied. I don't think I would come back

I wish I had a place like this at home. I was driving to the airport in SJ and didn't want to sit in an airport bar, so I found this spot on yelp. Cocktails at the adjoining bar and food from here. Really good. Come with hungry friends and try and share stuff.

Unexpectedly surprised by this spot, had been here in the past when they first opened up and just thought of it as ok. BUT noowww though, yall better not walk and run that azz to your nearest Curry Up Now! The revamped menu from Chef Bikram is hittin with all the spices and flavors and I can guarantee there's something for everyone. Some heavy hitters for me were the: - Spicy fried chicken (that cilantro chutney cooked with them onions really made that sandwich) - Indian flatbread (never had something like this before, pleasantly surprised and would def order again) HOT TIP: this location is one that also has a bar, I had an early lunch there so I didn't wanna TU that early but that won't stop me next time LOLL Service was great with that staff being very helpful in explaining all the dishes to me. Vibes def were there, I could see that being a nice spot to hit up after work with your coworkers.

Curry Up Now is a trendy Bay Area chain serving up Indian street-food delights with an accompanying bar, Mortar & Pestle, usually located within the same space. At this location, the bar is just to the left of the entrance, with dining areas on both sides. The concept is modern and hip, with menu billboards near the ceiling. We mainly come here for the Indian fusion cocktails and bar snacks that pair perfectly with the drinks. On this visit, we tried the Holi Bhang, a playful nod to the Hindu festival of color. The dark rum-based drink, with rosemary, lemon-verbena, sage, aquafaba, and orange bitters, was beautifully balanced and refreshing--almost reminiscent of a tiki cocktail. In terms of food, we had the chicken 65, which was a flavorful and spicy dish with a delightful combination of textures. When you take a bite, the chicken is crispy on the outside, thanks to its deep-fried coating, yet tender and juicy on the inside. We also had a chance to chat with the bartender, who told us that all the drinks are crafted by a special mixologist and rotated constantly, so there's always a reason to come back. We also tried the Nimbu Pani Puri, a cocktail inspired by the popular Indian snack. It featured a house eau de vie blend, lemon, palm, pani puri water, and Jamaican bitters. While it was creative, it lacked the boldness of the Holi Bhang. Another reason to stop by is their great happy hour deals before 6pm on weekdays, with discounts on both drinks and some of their tasty snacks. Overall, a great spot for unique Indian fusion drinks and bites!

We used to frequent Curry Up Now in the past for dine-in, and sometimes catered work lunches, etc. But since the pandemic, it's been a while since we last visited. I am glad I got a chance to revisit them today. The dining area is colorful with painted walls. The restaurant has a full bar. Fairly spacious and could fit a few large groups. The service was friendly and nice. Tikka Masala Burrito (chicken): Their iconic Tikka masala with rice, Chana garbanzo masala, and sliced onions wrapped in a tortilla. Ghee Butter Makhni Burrito (chicken): mildly spiced butter masala with rice, Chana garbanzo masala, and sliced onions wrapped in a tortilla. The burritos were delicious, flavorful, and had a kick of spiciness to them.

First time I've been to this site and I was pleasantly surprised with a great tasting chicken sandwich, which I've never seen at other locations. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive.

Not sure how the rating is so low. The food was great. The drinks were good, but small. The prices were reasonable. I did knock off a star for the cost due to the small size of the drinks. It has a chill vibe, and the bartender when we were there, I think his name was Fernando, was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Had an awesome time here! Went to the bar and Francesca was awesome! She made really tasty drinks and was an awesome bartender . It wasn't too loud and a nice hang spot. The summer whip drink was delicious! We went Saturday around 5:30pm and there was plenty of seating. Would highly recommend getting bites and drinks for their HH that goes until 6pm.

The service by Francesca was awesome! She gave excellent recommendations on drinks and food which we loved. We'll definitely be coming back. Btw, she makes the Old Fashioned the way they're supposed to be made. Thank you so much, Francesca!

Not the food you expect from a restaurant like this, with ambience being such a great inside. The food will not meet the expectations of a typical Indian food. One time try place and the schezwan chicken fried rice could have been better, may be the taste was not good because of going at the last hour. Parking might get tricky during busy hours. The service is quick enough and respond well.

At this location, Curry Up Now and the bar called Mortar & Pestle merge together to give you a whole experience. We love going to different places and getting inspiration from their cocktail menus. Drinks: (1) The Mortar & Pestle - 10/10 This is their signature drink and it is so tasty and goes down very smoothly. Will be ordering this again. (2) Electric Lemonade - 6/10 It was a bit bland. We expected there to be a bit more of the lemonade taste. The appetizers that we selected paired really well with our drinks: (1) Dahi Puri - 7/10 I wish it had a bit more coriander and tamarind flavor to it. (2) Punjabi Chicken 69 - 10/10 You can never go wrong with this. This was really good and paired really well with our drinks. Will be ordering this again. The server was very attentive with our order at that start. I wish they were actively filling out water cups though or at least provided us with a water jug.

This may not be fair, but this place is one of my all-time favorites! My husband and I moved to the Los Angeles area nearly 3 years ago and I STILL crave Curry Up Now!! Everything I have ever had there was so delicious! Will someone please do have an order of Deconstructed Samoas for me and post your review and your opinion. We stayed in San Jose for 4th of July last year and this place was a MUST DO on our list! The ambiance is pretty casual but still appropriate I'd you're still dressed up from work or celebration. The staff was always super nice and their crafted cocktails are fantastic! May I please live vicariously through someone!?!?!?

My first time trying an Indian Burrito and damn, SO MUCH FLAVOR! Actually, everything we tried at Curry Up Now was bursting with flavor! I highly recommend any of the burritos or bowls and definitely get the Bhel Puri for an appetizer because it was so refreshing. This place also came out with some Indian-Chinese dishes on the menu. The San Jose location has its own full bar called Mortar & Pestle attached and oooh-wee are the cocktails strong! * Samosas * Bhel Puri * Lamb Bowl * Lamb Burrito * Chili Chicken * Cocktails: Mango Sangria, Bangalore Old Fashioned, Inflight Smoker, The Mortar & Pestle, and Ambika's Grove

Brianna was amazing last night!! She truly knows how to keep the guests happy. She kept checking on us and never left us alone. Brianna also has great taste for food so she gave us some really good food suggestions. Since this was our second dinner (friday night) we only ordered Kachori chaat and wada pav. Both were delicious. Pineapple fizz is a must if you love coconut flavor. Thank you Brianna for such a lovely time. We will be back soon.

I can't believe if these ratings can be believed anymore! I went to this restaurant with my office colleagues to order their Punjabi thali. What I got for palak paneer was boiled palak with small chunks of paneer! Seriously? It is an insult to authentic palak paneer dish! Chana masala seemed a simple Costco gravy mixed with boiled while Chana - I should have known that you can make it this easy and charge a fortune. They have the advantage of the location as they are near to Cisco offices and hungry employees probably get a quick bite for lunch. Very disappointed. One star is for the ambience as they are clean and in a nice location .

I have tried street food here a couple of times and it's been good. I love their chai and it's interesting that they serve it with Parle G biscuits. But one thing that has stood out is the service, especially Raj.

DoorDash order, so not sure if the food might be more edible eat-in, Terrible flavors to everything... Most disgusting were the fried Punjabi Chicken 69 and Gobi Manchurian (supposed to be crisp cauliflower). There were no vents in the fried dishes so they were mush. The fried chicken were not wings or drums, but little chunks all covered in batter... and the batter was so burnt. I think they refried this a few times and tried to serve it.... The cauliflower was drenched in a sour, salty sauce that was sooo spicy, I hate wasting food, but I had to toss out both of these dishes in the trash. Cute paper boxes and bag...(great paper packaging and compostable sporks over plastic).... It all looks pretty, but all tastes awful. The Ghee Makhni Butter Chicken 16 oz reminds me of a sweet roasted tomato soup. The chicken in it was at least tender. Worst $50 ever. One of my worst meals thus far is South Bay. Also, I'm just realizing the randomness of sex in its marketing (from the 69 to sexy...). Odd and creepy. Definitely must be a bunch of bros who started this business. I should have ordered from Little India Cafe.

Everything's delicious! The ambiance is great, as well as the customer service. Mitesh was very attentive to us. My whole family had a great experience. We will definitely come back here again soon.

My parents and I came here and didn't know what to expect! What a treat we got and we left so full and happy! We even got to meet the new head chef Bikrom who revamped the menu of Curry up Now across the U.S. Street food of India at its best. My parents and us had so much fun trying half of the dishes were vegetarian and they tasted so good. LAMB SAMOSAS samosas stuffed with ground lamb keema & curried potatoes; chutneys, yum. DYNAMITE TANGRA WINGS chicken wings in an insanely spicy indian-chinese sauce, perfect for happy hour! HOLY MOLY FRIED RAVIOLI fried cheese ravioli, tikka masala dip, this vegetarian dish was bomb tasty. PANI PURI hollowed semolina puri, potato garbanzo mash, cumin tamarind water, vegan, 1 of my fav snacks. DAHI PURI hollowed semolina puri, potato garbanzo mash, chaat masala yogurt, vegetarian, I can eat this dish all day! PUNJABI BY NATURE (burrito wrap) saag paneer and tikka masala choice of chicken or paneer, so good. Kashmiri lamb or VEGGIES bowls come with choice of turmeric white rice or riced cauliflower, chana garbanzo masala or daal lentils, plus pickles, pico kachumber, simply delicious. TIKKA MASALA iconic tikka masala choice of chicken or paneer , you can't go wrong with this dish! PEACE. LOVE. VEGAN. aloo gobi, vegan plant protein, daal lentils, vegan, aloo parantha instead of naan, a picture perfect dish! Some of their Deconstructive dishes are also wild to your imagination, so try them! If you love spices, adventurous in flavors and textures, you would love this spot! Reasonable prices, good service, happy hour, good food, and good people all around! I chose this location because it's down the street from American Red Cross where I volunteer.

Leaving this review here as a shoutout to our bartender Brandon! I came here with a buddy on Tuesday just a little after 2pm, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that happy hour here starts at 2. Enjoyed some beers on tap with a perfectly spiced lamb burrito. The bar was empty so we were able to just have a blast shooting the shit with Brandon. Great food, even greater company See y'all again soon

This place hits for lunch when I crave Indian street food. I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu, but I'm sure it all tastes delicious. My usual is: Pani Puri, Butter Chicken & Sexy Fries. This whole meal doesn't make you feel sexy after cause you'd be eating til your bust out of your pants... literally can't stop eating even if I'm so full. It's THAT good! Staff is always friendly & the food comes out quickly. Interior is decorated really nice & they're always playing good music. Recommend wearing stretchy pants if you're going to eat here. Thank me later.

The inside was pretty and there are a lot of fun choices. The inside decor is super fun too and a nice tribute to the food truck they started as! We tried the new chili chicken off the Indian Chinese menu and kids meal butter paneer to go. The guy said the chili chicken isn't too spicy but... my mouth was burning I know I'm weak but make sure you have lots of rice or naan! My kid LOVED the butter paneer and "steering wheel crisps" that came with it. He thought those were so fun and enjoyed the little biscuits to finish it off! They also have QR codes to scan to place your order and pay which is cool!

I tried Curry Up several times already, last time was on Memorial Day. It was quite empty at a lunch time and I picked the table near window. I ordered Meat Sweats Thali Platter that was enough for 2 people in regards to the size of the portion. I really enjoyed it, it wasn't too spicy ( and I specifically asked for it), saucy and tasty. They give you enough Naan, rice and even chips. The waiter also brings you a bottle of water. During the weekdays they serve you with hot Chai tea and 2 pieces of cookies. The place itself is quite comfy, spacious and colourful. It's cool that you can open the menu with QR code and pay through your phone. The service was better in the past, but maybe it was just a holiday and it was difficult to find enough people to work this day.

Delicious Indian street food in a sit-down restaurant! It is kind of expensive though. Lots of "naughty and sexy" food themes on their menu lol so get ready. They are located in an apartment complex towards the outside with plenty of street parking and outdoor seating. Recommend to order the Deconstructed Samosas

The food was amazing. We ordered the naughty naan, chole bhature and both were really good. The service was amazing and the waitress Brianna was super helpful in suggesting the drinks and added to the splendid experience. Highly recommended for fusion Indian food.

So the business manager replied back to my review with contact info of info@curryupnow.com I reached out 3 times and never received a response. Not good food and not good customer service as well. Bummer. I can post the email screenshots but why bother? I rather not involve myself with this chain anymore

The ambiance of this place is amazing. It has a whole vibe. The 1947 Chole Bhature and Kathi Roll was really amazing. It was very tasty. Not able to resist also ordered Pav Bhaji. It was tasty too. The place is very clean and service is quite welcoming.

Takeout order: 9/10 Deconstructed Samosa with Chicken $12- Amazing flavor! Good amount of chucks of chicken. Samosas were a bit soggy from takeout but some edges were still crispy. Definitely needs to be eaten right away. Samosa filling worked really well with the bell peppers and sauces combination. Pretty good value for the price as well. Personally I would want it to be more spicy but I could try that next time.

Met a friend here for dinner, drinks, and conversation on a Saturday evening, and this was the perfect setting... clean and modern, with great lighting and various options for seating.  We shared a couple dishes, and absolutely loved them. We had the Naughty Naan (Indian pizza) with chicken tikka masala, and it was served hot, slightly crispy, with a generous amount of cheese and sauce, a hint of sweetness and a tad spicy with the jalapeno topping, and the pieces of chicken tender and seasoned well. From the street snacks menu, we tried the Mini Samosas. Those curried potatoes were so tasty, and the shell was certainly flaky as advertised and not too thick or heavy.  For drinks, I got the Pimm's O'Clock and Perennials and Poison from Mortar & Pestle, since the bar and restaurant are combined. The drinks are pretty consistent here, so they were delicious and made well. Unfortunately the service at Mortar & Pestle is also consistently SLOW, and this isn't the first time I've experienced this sloth-like service, so I guess that's just how they do it here.  Luckily, the food service at Curry Up Now was far more reasonable. So if you're coming here mainly to eat, you'll probably be pleased with your experience... even more if you like the smell of curry (me, not too much). FYI, if the lot in front of the restaurant is full, there's more parking available along Crescent Village Circle.

We went to this Indian restaurant today for chicken tikka masala. The food was extremely spicy. Overall, everything was okay but I wouldn't come back here.

Curry Up Now is my go-to fast casual if I want something quick and hearty. The place is spacious and I usually get my food to go. Yesterday night, it took awhile for anyone to acknowledge me when I went to pick up my food. The deconstructed samosa was flavourful and I love that they serve it with tomatoes, jalapeno and chutneys. They have now raised the price significantly (vs two years ago) so I'm docking the stars. It is definitely not authentic Indian food as well but that's a given.

Went in on a busy day. Who is the manager of this store? Can you reach out when you have a chance. Got the cauliflower keto bowl with chicken and there was barely any chicken in there and the turmeric on the cauliflower was uncooked. The orders were really late as well. Also is the business so unbothered that you don't realize your display profile pic is one with hair in it? That's gross? You realize you can change your display picture on yelp from the business right?

A very good place for family dining experience with a huge Indian menu. You would find a lot of vegan and #indo vegetarian options here. Pav bhaji - the healthier version of the pav bhaji. - it did not taste wonderful like a roadside dish. But, I was happy as it looked extremely healthy, exactly like I would prepare at home -3/5 Thali - the thali is full. And if you are a curry fan, like me, you would enjoy the collection of 3 full cups of curry/dal in teh thali and you would be full with that - 3/5 We had cheese crackers kind of thing. They were really good, we went for another one. Their kulfi icecream was amazing and we had loads of it. A nice try in the north of San Jose. The order and payment is directly on the phone. The service is a little slow, prolly because of the crowd. But we had enough of fun because of the group we went with.

Our bartender kicks ass and served up great drinks. 10/10 for Francesca. Had a great time.

Awesome vibe. They are quick to complete your order and the seating is fantastic. Food is delish!!! Get a window seat. The food is hot and comes out quick.

Food wasn't ready at pick up time which is fine but then they told me lamb wasn't available (ordered online) - no one called to ask what options would I take. Then, lady who was making food started cleaning up and doing other things with her gloves on then went ahead and created the last meal I've been waiting for. Waited another 10min for this. Although could have been sooner if she did not clean up first. Then, took out her gloves and without washing her hands grabbed the bread and boxed them and gave to me. I will never come back here or recommend to friends.

12/14/23 This was the #FoodTruck at work today. Prices were subsidized so the rating is independent of price. 1. Chicken Burrito: It's about 80% rice, 10% something else, potatoes?, and 10% chicken. Sauce was nicely spicy but otherwise lacks seasoning and overall was super boring. Needs more burrito stuff. Anyway, I threw away half of it as it was basically eating rice and sauce in a tortilla. 1/10 2. Samosa: This actually was tasty. Nicely fried. Good seasoning. Sauce on the side wasn't very flavorful though. 6/10 Overall 1/5 #santaclara #indianfood #indianfastfood

Not too spicy. Good for lunch activities. Not far away from Santa Clara neighborhoods.

Tasty and medium hot (spicy) chicken biryani with fancy presentation. Mango lassi seemed a bit more liquid than usual to me but the taste was on point.

Good place. I like the Decor but service can be slow. You can order on phone by scanning the code on the table but be aware the system charges some extra amount that supposedly gets refunded later. Food is good, thali portions are very generous. We tried: Vegetarian thali- very good Meat sweats- my colleague thought the meat was chewy Samosa chaat plate- very good

I would give negative stars if i could. Worst experience ever!! We waited for 20 mins at the bar to submit an order and even then bartender was not ready to take our order. Finally i had to call the bartender and ask him to take our order. After we gave the order, the bartender did nothing, he was literally cleaning dishes for next 15 mins, finally when i asked for our drinks, he said he forgot our order and asked us to order again. Even at this point i let it slide, and ordered again, then he disappeared for next 10 mins and refused to do anything with our order. The most messed up part was that there was 4-5 people on the bar other than me and my friend.

I ordered the rice with lamb sorry I don't remember the exact name of the dish. The food came put fast, it was delicious spicy and flavorful. The drink was horrendous, it wasn't balanced at all and it had a lit cinnamon stick i am all for the aroma flavor and showmanship but really? I had to put it out on the counter top to avoid the ashes from falling in my drink. When I was there the system was down when I was attempting to pay so I offered cash, he couldn't open the till lol. The staff was nice but maybe they don't have the tools they need to succeed. On a side note there was a robot bringing food to the tables and I thought that was soo cool. I love the use of technology to make our lives better. Management- training your bartenders and have contingencies in place to save the customers experience.

Comfort food, good ambiance, convenient app to order pick up. Hot balls on ice and moong dal halwa are a must try!!
