"I've dined at the downtown location several times and have always enjoyed my meals there. However, I recently had dinner with a couple of friends at the Upper East Side location, and the quality of the dishes was inconsistent. Those who ordered chicken seemed quite pleased, while those of us who chose vegetarian options had a few minor issues. For example, the cauliflower in my dish was noticeably undercooked. On a positive note, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely consider returning if I'm in the area again."

"Wonderful spicy food! Two of us went for Restaurant week, both ordered medium hot entrees. Her goat curry was just the right spiciness, and she enjoyed it tremendously. My chicken dish was just bit too spicy, but on request we were given a delicious raita which helped tremendously. The samosas and pakoras were good, as was the tamarind sauce/chutney, but the coriander chutney was watery and didn't have much flavor. The chai was delicious. We had the mango pudding and rice pudding for dessert. The mango pudding was very good, not too sweet. The rice pudding was not like the kheer I expected it had cinnamon and dark raisins in it and was extremely sweet. It was quite pleasant, though. Servings were generous both my friend and I have gotten at least two additional meals from our entrees!"

"My family and I had been eager to try this restaurant ever since they relocated. It appears to be a family-owned establishment that has expanded in size. The interior seating was cramped and close to other diners, with the air conditioning off and only fans providing ventilation. There was a noticeable unpleasant smell in the air, accompanied by an abundance of flies and fruit flies. We were mainly interested in trying their dosa and sambhar. We ordered masur masala, masala dosa, and some appetizers. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the quality of the food. The dosas were undercooked and too small, while the sambhar lacked authenticity and was too watery. We would rather dine at another restaurant in Buffalo Grove, just 15 minutes away. We will not be returning to this restaurant, as the lack of authentic taste was a major letdown for us."

"Can't beat a great buffet, 2 soft drinks and tip for $30. I went all vegetarian on this one and everything was delicious. More fresh vegetables for the salad section would be a welcomed addition. There are several Indian uses for cucumber (which they had there) to make appetizing salads. A little pickling and curry and they would make that part of the buffet equally as appetizing and the rest. BTW, dessert was included with the Buffet, but I did not over indulge. Overall really good, especially for the price and variety of dishes. J,"

"This place is great. They are passionate about the food they are cooking a day serve with it pride. When I have gone to eat thee I've been given free samples and soup each time. A group of friends and I often order delivery from here as they have a varied, high quality menu, and timely delivery service. For the best stuff ask what they like and give it a shot. One of the best take out places in Union Square."

"Five of us shared two appetizers, three entrees and two vegetable dishes. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We requested mild level of spice. The service was great. We also ordered nan, raita, and mango chutney. We enjoyed a leisurely dinner. Will definitely return soon with another group. Perfect for sharing dishes"

"The pizza is overpriced at $15 for a basic 14-inch pepperoni that was undercooked, leaving a lot to be desired. It tasted raw, and I was very disappointed. Interestingly, they left a negative review on our company listing without any comments, yet we have never served them. It's unfortunate that they struggle to accept negative feedback. If you'd like to discuss this further, feel free to give us a call."

"Our family enjoyed the outdoor seating and the waiters did a great job of quickly pushing other tables in when it was raining out of the blue. We were under an umbrella and a big tree and didn't have to move and the rain stopped quickly. Our teenage kids weren't in many nice restaurants and they loved the creative starters, especially the homemade croutons on the Caesar salad, delicious! We all had very good meals and were too full for dessert, which is unfortunate because I have eaten the chocolate bread pudding with baileys before and it is divine! There are so many tasty options and we enjoyed the scallops as well as the duck, key lime chicken and the flank. You can't go wrong!"

"I received a menu in the mail and decided to give the restaurant a try. I assumed the food wouldn't be anything extraordinary, as places that offer a wide variety of dishes often don't impress. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the pizza turned out to be. I'm definitely planning to try the Indian dishes soon, but the pizza was the best local pizza I've had in quite a while."

"Solid North Indian dishes for buffet, and you can taste a lot more of the lighter spices herbs than in most other Indian food restaurants' food. My go-tos are dal, saag, butter chicken sauce on tandoori chicken, with naan. I've never had hot kheer rice pudding, but it's a nice dessert after the buffet. One thing I would suggest is to put a bit more chicken pieces into the butter chicken. It's mostly sauce so I compensate by throwing that over tandoori chicken."

"Recent October 2021 visit, made a special trip coming through Nashville to stop here... Waited well over 10 minutes after being seated and no service, only 2 other tables were occupied in the whole restaurant so we left and I have to bring down the star rating I first gave them.... Looked this place up and the reviews and ratings looked good... Very authentic Indian food it is!!! Very nice staff and everything comes out very quick and hot... Our kids got the chicken rice and they loved it, we ordered salmon and a multiple of lamb dishes and everything was great, be careful when ordering the hotness of a fish as even the 7.5 will sure get you sweating ?"

"So me and a friend went in last night for a quick bite. Not a busy night there at all. We ordered shrimp pakoras which were good and got a few indo-Chinese dishes or so we thought. The noodles were loaded with oil and no flavor whatsoever. It's indo-chinese with no green onions or garlic. It tasted more like I would get something at the food court in the mall. I asked for cut lemons which didn't come. The chutneys were bought after the pakoras since we asked for it. $13 for a glass of wine . Between the two of us I don't feel it was worth my money. They used to be good but not anymore. I would prefer they work on getting better chefs and improving their menu options."

"On a whim, I decided to grab some takeout and chose this Indian restaurant since it was the closest option. Overall, I had a great experience! The restaurant may be small, but it has a lovely atmosphere and was very clean and tidy. The owner was incredibly gracious and welcoming. The prices were similar to other Indian restaurants I've visited. I ordered onion kulcha and paneer makhani, and both were delicious. The spice level is a bit hotter than what I'm used to, so be mindful of that. However, the flavors were fantastic, and the portions were generous. While I've had better onion kulcha (this one was a bit thinner than I prefer), it was still quite tasty. Their vegetarian menu is more extensive than many other Indian places I've been to, which already offer a good variety, so I’m definitely planning to return to try out some of the other dishes that I can’t find elsewhere. Overall, it was well worth the drive!"

"The $18 buffet lunch at this restaurant is a great deal considering the high prices of individual dishes at most other places. The potato and garlic soup was especially fantastic, and the chicken gravy, mutton masala, and chili chicken were also delicious. The dessert was a hit as well. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were very polite. Plus, there was free street parking for two hours. Overall, a great experience. I would recommend trying the Lamb Rogan Josh, Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan. Service: 4/5, Atmosphere: 5/5. Lunch per person costs between $10 and $20."

"Interesting restaurant, in the middle of a neighborhood in a former Masonic lodge with an odd country club vibe. Roots ' food is small plates tapas style though, as we did it, mostly treating a dish as an individual course. The dishes come out asready, not in any kind of order, which was easier to coordinate and, in theory, bring things out fresh, but made the service alittle chaotic. In general, the food across the ambitious menu was good. My parmesan truffle fries were flavorful but not quitefresh. My lamb vindaloo had good flavor to it, it a bit dry. The Korean beef tacos, Brussels sprout caesar salad, and mushroomleek grilled cheese sandwich got kudos all around. The dessert menu had a good selection. The vegan death by chocolate cakeand the bread pudding received high marks. Decent cocktail, beer, and wine list, though they were out of some of the wines. Onthe whole, a decent, if a bit pricey dinner. We 'll most likely be back again."

"In a word, we had a great first experience. Bea our waitress/owner was delightful. My wife and I travel for work and know our Thai food. Surin is among the top 4 in our travels from CA, to New Englang and many points in between. If you have never experienced Thai, you must. So many different flavors! Don't ever worry about a dish being too spicy. Most places have a simple 1 through 5 chilies. 5 being hottest. Ask Bea and she will make it right. We loved both of our dishes which had generous amounts of seafood in one, and duck in the other. Also, you have to try the chicken Satay. It is a marinated skewer of chicken with a peanut dipping sauce that perhaps was the best we have ever had. Surin also has a good beer and wine selection."

"We just planned to go to this restaurant and never had an expectation to get great food. The moment we entered and got greetings was so great...we ordered the food again the expectation was nothing but once we started having food... Amazing, super and great are the right words to explain the food... We ate like anything and said thanks to the owner/manager for keeping the super taste without burning the belly. Keep it up . If you are reading this comment you must try the food here once for sure. You will love it."

"I recently had a meal at Bawarchi restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama, and I must say, the food was truly exceptional! From the fragrant biryanis to the tasty curries and tandoori dishes, each dish was cooked perfectly and packed with genuine Indian flavors. What impressed me the most about this restaurant was the meticulous attention to detail in every dish. The spices were just right, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. The restaurant's atmosphere was also delightful, with cozy lighting and comfortable seating that provided a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience. In conclusion, I highly recommend Bawarchi restaurant to anyone in search of authentic and mouthwatering Indian cuisine in Birmingham, Alabama. The food is outstanding, and the service is excellent. I am looking forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu!"

"This restaurant is my absolute favorite! Working nearby, I often stop by for their lunch buffet and occasionally for dinner as well. I actually have lunch here most weekdays. The food is unbelievably delicious, with every dish being fantastic, but the Dal Makhni is my top choice. The saffron rice they serve is also exceptional. What really makes this restaurant stand out is the service and overall dining experience. The staff is friendly and always try to remember your name and get to know regular customers. They're attentive and quick to refill your water as soon as it’s empty. When I talk to them, it’s clear they genuinely care about ensuring a great experience for everyone who comes in. If I could, I’d give Masala Spice 6 stars. It’s an outstanding restaurant, and you’re really missing out if you haven’t been here yet!"
