My last two visits to Minerva have been truly disappointing. I'm not sure if there's been a change in ownership or management, but the quality of the food has declined significantly.

LOVED LOVED LOVED. Place was great! It was my first time eating Indian food and they made it a great experience. Besides the food being awesome, the service was fenomenal. Glad I went definitely recommend!

The Chicken Korma and Chana Masala were absolutely delicious! The food is fresh and flavorful. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but considering the 10% inflation, it's understandable. I’ll definitely be back! View menu

I ordered takeout lamb biryani and kadai lamb. The biryani was a generous portion and absolutely delicious, with tender lamb. The kadai lamb was decent, though I expected it to be more saucy. Minerva has recently reopened after renovations, and it’s definitely worth a try.

Dined on a Monday night. We had Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Biryani. Both meals were superb. Some items were not available due to supply-chain shortages. The restaurant was very clean and the wait staff was attentive. We could not have asked for more. We do recommend this restaurant.
