"Highly recommend the dal and raita. Naan was pretty good (very fresh). Not a big fan of their gulab jamun. Overall the restaurant made an honest attempt to serve home style feast food from northern India and it was refreshing to see a menu with slightly different ingredients (like jackfruit, gourds, mint gravy etc) compared to some of the other Indian restaurants that don't necessarily experiment with the menu or charge a surcharge if they do. Our order was delayed a bit so they also served us complementary beetroot kebabs which were really tasty. Our server missed my husband's order of beer even after a few reminders. Hopefully they'll work on improving their service. Overall relaxed vibe, reasonable pricing and getting a table was easy. Go here to try something new without having to pay . It's a woman run business. She was really down to earth she got us a table, started the initial table service rather than making us wait for someone to help us."

We were looking to try a different restaurant for our Christmas Eve dinner. I found Amma on Open Table and the menu and reviews looked good. Turns out we we arrived at Amma, my wife said “we’ve eaten here before”. It must have been years ago. Turned out the food was excellent and the service was good. It was a pleasant Christmas Eve dinner that we both enjoyed. View menu

Delicious, delicious, delicious! All dishes were served with great presentation and the spices were all perfect. Tasted fresh and authentic. The service was also immaculate, very friendly and patient, explained thoroughly and answered any questions we had about the dishes. This place is a gem worth experiencing. I will definitely be back the next time I visit the city. Thank you!

I was so hungry and I just searched for the restaurant nearby. I found this one. It was my first time going there. I was so surprised and pleased when I entered the restaurant. The way they take of the customer is so good. Food was fresh, tasty and very good quality with a lot of flavor. Specially the Gulab jamun!!!! I was so happy. Thanks. I Parked my car right in front of the restaurant and it’s pay parking.

Ordered take out lunch. Food was fresh. Vegetable serving was very very small. Taste good for local palate but for us Indian food eaters very bland. Service was excellent on time. Just a suggestion if they give standard Vegetable serving with some salad a green chilly to Indian people) and spoon, fork and tissues will be great. I will be back and will recommend this place because the food was fresh. We need to support this place View menu

We had a lovely dinner at Amma at an outdoor table. They have heat lamps for colder weather, which definitely came in handy. With one vegetarian and one omnivore diner, we found that Amma had the perfect balance of options. We had beetroot kofta and paneer makhni, both of which were delicious. The keema naan was a great addition. The atmosphere was comfortable and pleasant, and the staff were very attentive. I would definitely recommend Amma for an upscale and high quality evening out.

Saw this restaurant on restaurant week website and came here on Saturday. We didn’t know that restaurants don’t do restaurant week menus on Saturdays but the waiter told us that since he saw us having the restaurant week menu pulled up on our phone, he felt bad and didn’t want to disappoint us, therefore still let us order the restaurant week menu. That was so nice of him! The dishes tasted good, and the only thing we didn’t like was the rice. The rice was obviously from left over yesterday and a big portion of them were firm and dry. However, the Gulab Jamun was so good that we ordered it twice. It was our second time trying this dessert so far in our lives but this one from this restaurant...

"We went to Bread N Wine on a early Saturday afternoon for brunch. We were greeted and seated by the servers who were attentive. The food was okay the bread was really soft and fresh. My partner got the French Lentil Soup, Spinach and Tomato Egg Bake andI got the French onion soup, egg omelette with spicy tomato avocado and onions. I wasn 't happy with my omelette because thespicy just meant it was covered in hot sauce within. For beverages, we got chai lattes (we later found out it wasn 't tea basedbut rather coffee) and we had the option of oat milk, almond milk or regular milk. In terms of our overall experience we feltby the end too many things were steering the experience south; the worst was when we were accused of using counterfeit money topay for the tip. There was no special marker used to prove that the money was counterfeit or technology to back up this claim.That experience alone left a bad taste in our mouth as we left embarrassed by that claim, kind of shook from that, we stilladded the tip to our credit card 18%. As we walked out and talked about how weird that was, the owner of the business nextdoor overheard us and asked to see the $20 bill he showed us that our money was real and validated what we knew, that themoney wasn 't counterfeit. When we went back into Bread N Wine to discuss this there was no apology, just well, it felt thatway , shrug. It left a terrible feeling. We would not go back after that, this is not how you treat customers from start tofinish, hence the 2 star review."
