Food was really good and flavors were spot on. Server had an attitude and not very helpful to share the menu details. Special occasions notes from round table were either ignored or never passed on.

All food was great. Only complaint was that a lot of the menu items were no longer available when we ordered.

The shrimp tasted fresh.

Badmaash tends to be a cool and hip spot, but the experience left me with mixed feelings. The food itself was delicious — the butter chicken was flavorful and rich, and the rosemary naan was fresh and aromatic. That said, the prices were nothing short of outrageous for what’s essentially “street Indian food.” You’d think that a classic dish like butter chicken would come with at least some rice, but here it’s sold separately, which felt both surprising and a bit nickel-and-dime.
The service wasn’t particularly warm or attentive either, and the loud music made it hard to carry on a conversation at the table. While the vibe is clearly trying to cater to a trendy crowd, there are plenty of Indian restaurants around that serve equally good (if not better) food at a fraction of the cost, with friendlier service and a more comfortable atmosphere.
Overall, it’s a one-and-done for me — I don’t see myself coming back.
Badmaash was perfect! The portion sizes were shareable, the dishes were flavorful. I loved the ambiance. The server was thoughtful.

One of the worst biryanis I’ve had in my life. Was struggling to find chicken which was dry anyways. Waste of money.

I completely agree when people say it’s an overhyped place. The food isn’t truly Indian, it’s tailored for Americans looking for just a hint of Indian flavor. The ambience is very average. Overall it’s so pricey for what it offers.

This was seriously the best customer service experience ever! The food was incredible I got the chicken tikka masala with rosemary naan which I’ve never had rosemary naan and it’s a new staple. The staff was so kind they gave me the crispy yogurt puffs to start which were so unique and little “flavour bombs” they threw in an order of rice and brought me a chai and rice pudding for dessert as well INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE will 10000000% be back

Everything we ate was amazing but the desserts were out of this world. I highly recommend the youghurt puffs, the butter chicken, the 🌶 butter naan, the chocolate dessert and the mango dessert. You will NOT regret it. I will be back over and over again.
