A Tale of Two Visits 💔 My initial dining experience at Baar Baar was nothing short of spectacular! ✨ The entire evening was a joy, highlighted by truly amazing service and wonderful dishes. I left feeling impressed and eager to return. Unfortunately, our most recent visit fell dramatically short of that high standard. While the quality of the cuisine remains impressive—the food is still undeniably very tasty and flavorful 🌶️😋—the service side of the restaurant was a massive letdown and significantly spoiled the overall experience. 😔 The Service Disappointment 🚩 Our server, though seemingly enthusiastic, appeared more focused on their own agenda than on us as guests. They were very keen on giving recommendations, which I usually enjoy and am open to exploring, but they consistently ignored any direct questions we posed about the menu or our order. It felt like we weren't being listened to at all. 🙄 The fundamental issue, however, was the inattention to basic necessities. Simple items like water and extra spoons were forgotten or delayed multiple times. ⏳ This constant need to chase down essentials was highly disruptive and frankly, unacceptable. Final Recommendation 🤔 Given the premium price point of dining at Baar Baar 💸, one expects and deserves a polished, attentive service experience to match the cost. Because of how things went this last time, I would currently recommend going elsewhere for a better overall value and dining environment. That said, if you are a true food connoisseur who can genuinely tolerate and mentally block out frustrating service just to savor high-quality, delicious cooking, then you should absolutely still go for the food alone! 💯 Just manage your expectations regarding the hospitality.

My friends and I loved our experience at Baar Baar. Unfortunately it was raining like crazy on the day we had reservations for but that didn't stop us. We arrived to a rather empty restaurant (probably due to the rain). Staff took care of us right away seating us and explaining the menu. We had heard that they're known for their cocktails so we each ordered a different one. All of them were really good and I can see why people say their cocktails are good. The bar is also really impressive if you just wanted to come for a drink. All the cocktails are named after famous Indian movies which was really cute. For the food, we opted into the prix fixe menu (all parties at your table must participate) but it was perfect because the menu had a lot of their most popular items that we would've wanted to order and try anyways. We did end up ordering 2 extra items - the lamp chops as well as the jalapeno cheese naan. It ended up being more than enough food but everything was so good and we were so happy to try it all. The puri puri amuse bouche was SO GOOD! The avocado bhel appetizer dish was also surprisingly good. The traditional butter chicken with the saffron rice was classic but delicious and I loved the seabass fish as well as the jalapeno cheese stuffed naan. I normally don't care for beans but I can see why the Black Dairy Dal is $15!! It was so flavorful and a must get. Both the dessert options (Gulab jamun cheesecake and Strawberry Cassata) were yummy too. Not too sweet for both.

I always have a wonderful time at Baar Baar. The food is delicious, the cocktails are perfect, and the service is always attentive. This particular night was their Diwali celebration and we had a great time, but I'd recommend them any day of the week.

The BEST Indian spot for all taste (& spice levels) they were the sweetest when it came to accommodating my large group + celebrating a special occasion. I'll be bringing my friends back here again & again.

This place just looks like a Michelin. Panner was very bad and veryy expensive. Curry tastes bad too. Naan was okay, rice was okay

Finally, a fancy Indian restaurant with amazing food and even a separate vegan menu. The food is so good. Amazing wine and cocktails. I go to India a lot and cook Indian food and am just blown away by the food here. Bravo. I can’t wait to eat there again. Lovely staff too. And it is a COOL place, like night on the town vibes.

Everything was delicious - perfectly seasoned, and gorgeous, subtle flavors.
Living in DTLA, we come around 1-2 times per month. The food is exceptional, with good drinks and nice vibes!

The ambiance was stylish and welcoming, and the staff was attentive and friendly. A nice touch was that they offered a complimentary champagne, which made the visit feel special.
The food and drinks were excellent, and the service made the experience very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Baar Baar to anyone looking for a great spot to dine in LA.

I had a private birthday event here at Baar Baar with ~30 guests last weekend! Everything was so perfect, and the staff was so caring and sweet. They were especially careful as some of my guests had allergies. The food, drinks, and ambiance were all amazing. I appreciate Baar Baar working with me on planning this event and all the details. Would love to do another event here and also highly recommend hosting your next private event here!
