“Last time we were, someone in the kitchen may have swapped our dishes and we ended up with exceptionally spicy food. When I mentioned this to a manager yesterday, he encouraged us to get a sample of the offending dish before ordering. Of course, the food was excellent as it's been since we discovered this place nearly five years ago.“

“Living nearby, Kantipur has become my go-to every week for quarantine takeout. I've tried all the chicken dishes about 3 times by now and I still can't decide which is the best! But my favorite menu item is the vegetable pakora appetizer. Dip it in the chutney sauce and you'll understand. 🎁🎊“

“We went there on a weekend night and tried the dosa with Kakarampodi and spicy potato. The dosa was good and probably the best thing we ordered. The idlis were also soft and fresh.
We also tried the pav bhaji, pani puri, and samosa chaat, but those were pretty average and nothing really stood out. Since they’re mainly known for their dosas, I’d say stick to those if you’re visiting. Overall, it was decent and I would go again for dosa and Karampodi.“

KAVERI INDIAN BISTRO Indian • $$

“Food here would have been excellent if the salt level on literally every dish and appetizer we ordered were not over salted. Our entire table of 4 thought so, so it was not a singular take. Please check the salt before plating - better to under salt and have a salt shaker then to leave not finishing even half of the meal due to sodium drowning.“

“Holy moly!! This was by far the best Prawn ghee roast and Gobi Manchurian I've ever had!!! This place is open till 1 a.m. and I didn't have high expectations. But I was beyond blown away by the food. It is very rare to cook garlic just right to meet authentic standards, and this place comes through. I am writing this review before I finished my meal because I kept ordering after the first few dishes.“

“coming to the usa, i honestly didn’t think i’d find a place that comes this close to indian flavours, but this one genuinely did. i’d say a solid 97–99% match, and that’s saying a lot. one bite in and it took me straight back to india. the plastic spoons, paper plates, and that proper dhaba-style setup just made it feel even more real. the street-style food is done SO right. the kind of food that satisfies your soul, not just your hunger. the chilli garlic noodles were unreal, and the chicken lollipop omg absolute must-try. every bite felt comforting, nostalgic, and so so satisfying. if you’re missing india or craving real street food vibes, this place will hit you right in the heart. highly recommend 🤍“
