We started with Cauliflower Pakora, great flavor, perfectly cooked, crispy and hot. The Saag Murgh had great depth of flavors while the Salmon Moilee was different and tasty. The Spinach Naan was a first and a total success. James provided great service. Decor was creative and interesting.

Glad I didn’t pay any attention to the overall ratings because this place is warm and inviting with absolutely fabulous food. Give it a try; you won’t be disappointed!

They deserve -5. They warm up frozen roti, naan etc in a pizza oven and serve you. No Indian restaurant does that. If they do that they just mention in menu or while Taking order. May daughter had a stomach upset. She had only roti no subji. So no other reason other than reheated roti or old made roti heated in microwave or pizza oven

Bindaas has long been a go-to spot for IMF folks, and for good reason. The service is consistently awesome—quick, efficient, and attentive, making it perfect for busy schedules. The menu is thoughtfully curated with options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, catering to a wide range of preferences.
One standout dish that many still fondly remember is the keema pao. It was, without a doubt, the best item on the menu, though it’s no longer available. Even so, Bindaas continues to impress with its flavorful offerings and vibrant atmosphere. It's a reliable choice for anyone looking for a satisfying meal with impeccable service.
We came here for bottomless brunch and it was not a great experience. The mimosas were good but the food was sub par (the French toast was literally so tiny). And then I asked for scrambled eggs which were extremely watery and they didn’t even disclose the price till after the bill came. Do NOT recommend, just eat at home. The lack of attention in customer service is also quite apparent. There are also flies roaming around the restaurant, especially near the mimosa glasses while you’re drinking so if you’re into that, come

I don’t mind paying tip but this restaurant I s a scam. Had the worst experience ever! Their staff is rude and have 20% service charges (written in almost invisible font size in the bottom of the menu). Nobody is likely to see it. I ended up paying it because they didn’t have the ethics to share the relevant information by spelling it out or increasing the font size. The food was mid and not worth it at all!

We stopped by for Dinner. We were seated pretty quickly without waiting. We ordered Mango Pani Puri, Mysore Masala Dosa & Vada Pav. Mango Pani Puri was interesting, I wouldn’t necessarily try again. Dosa was decent, the accompaniments were just okay. Vada Pav was good & filling.

I love this place. I love all tye mango flavored food.
We had an absolutely enjoyable experience dining in this lovely Indian restaurant situated in the Western Markets. The service from Lucas and waiter Ever was excellent. The menu choices were great and the food was absolutely delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here.

Few too many issues to consider coming back here. They list a happy hour on their website's menu but don't acknowledge it's existence while there. The appetizers were solid, but the main courses were very disappointing and tasted off. Way too many great restaurants nearby to consider it again.

Food good. Very rude of waiter to not mention the 20% gratuity included. I was exhausted from a long day of work and left 20% tip, paying $20 in tip total for a $40 bill.
