Two of our party (not me) had the chef's tasting menu. It was an amazing value--an incredible amount and variety of food, and they thought it was really high quality. I had a chicken curry that was delicious and satisfying. The staff were very nice but maybe a little overworked.
Great food! Excellent service!

The decor was lovely. I had a reservation and was seated immediately. The staff were responsive. I ate a delicious garlic nan, vegetable biryani, and creamy cod dish with coconut. I would have liked to have found four bite-size pieces of fish instead of only three in the cod dish. It was an excellent choice of restaurants for a holiday meal.
We love Ajanta and have been coming here for many years. Last night we treated ourselves to the prix fixe choice. Every one of the many dishes was delicious.
We were enjoying a nice family dinner when the hostess interrupted and asked that my son move out of his chair and squeeze onto the bench so they could use the chair for another party. It was one of the rudest exchanges I have ever had eating out. She interrupted us mid-conversation and physically maneuvered my son off his chair and directed him to the bench while asking rhetorically if it was ok. We barely had time to sander before she took the chair. She did not apologize or check in later. We had only been at the restaurant for about 75 min at that point and came with a reservation.
Probably the most bland flavorless Indian food I have ever tasted. The staff was nice but slow to provide assistance. Decor is nice. Prices on a very high end, completely unjustified based on the food quality.
Good food

Mixed seafood sizzling tandoori dish was excellent. Salmon in curry okay. Maybe better with cod. Gracious service. Quiet enough for a conversation.
My favorite restaurant to go to with friends I want to talk with. Lovely, quiet and peaceful, and delicious food. Perfect!!
Lovely Indian food in a nice atmosphere. Delicious.

We haven't been to Ajanta in years - it was good to be back! The munu now offers three types of meals: a modest dinner, a dinner with one more course, and a la carte (including specials of the month). Everything was as good as we remembered; it is good to have more choices now.
Taking a friend for a birthday lunch was just what I hoped. The food was delicious, the staff individual was lovely in every way and the ambience of the restaurant was so relaxing and quiet.
I have been coming here for many years, although not recently.I was very disappointed. The service was disorganized, the raita was very salty (! ). The papadum were oily and not crisp. Very surpringly mediocre. It will probably be a long while before I try them again

Great food; chef obviously cares. Big portions as well. Service was friendly but not hovering. It was great to be able to talk and hear other person speak, unlike many restaurants. Highly recommend.
