Got a chance to have Dhamaal food at my friend's birthday party. The quality and taste of the food was really good. Everyone at the party enjoyed the food so much. I can't wait to visit and experience the food in person. See you soon!!! :) :)

My group and I had a great time here tonight. We had a 830pm reservation. The restaurant was packed and the host was apologetic that we had to wait for our table despite the reservation. We received complimentary mocktails while waiting and when two tables freed up at 915, we were given the choice of where we wanted to sit, over the group that came in after us. The food was delicious and service was prompt. The atmosphere is fun and lively. I would definitely return here again.

This restaurant’s customer service is nothing short of appalling. My wife and I had a reservation at 9 PM, but instead of honoring it, we were forced to sit at a poorly located side table with no ambience—completely undermining the reason we booked in the first place.

To make matters worse, the guy at the counter blatantly prioritized a group of girls over us, claiming they had arrived earlier but were waiting. What’s the point of having a reservation system if it’s meaningless? We politely offered to wait 10–15 minutes for a better table, but the staff couldn’t be bothered to accommodate us or even acknowledge our request.

When we expressed our disappointment, the staff displayed complete indifference. It was humiliating to be treated so dismissively, and in the end, we left without even having dinner. This wasn’t just bad service—it was insulting and disrespectful.

If you’re looking for a place that values its customers, look elsewhere. This restaurant clearly doesn’t.

This restaurant doesn’t just lack customer service—it lacks basic decency. We had a reservation at 9 PM, expecting to enjoy the ambience we specifically booked for. Instead, we were shoved onto a poorly located side table with horrible surroundings. Why even bother taking reservations if they mean absolutely nothing to you?

The staff, especially the rude guy at the counter (whose name I didn’t catch but certainly wish I had), blatantly favored a group of girls over us. His excuse? “They were here before you, but waiting.” Excuse me? WE had a reservation, but apparently, that holds no importance here.

When we politely mentioned that we were happy to wait 10–15 minutes for a better table, we were completely ignored. I voiced my disappointment, but instead of offering any resolution, the staff seemed utterly indifferent, borderline dismissive. The level of arrogance and disregard they displayed was astonishing.

Ultimately, we walked out, humiliated and deeply insulted. This wasn’t just a disappointing dinner—it was an experience that made us feel like second-class citizens. If you value even an ounce of respect or professionalism, save yourself the frustration and go elsewhere. This place doesn’t deserve your time or money.

The restaurant has a great vibe and atmosphere. For starters, we got the Rawalpindi channa, which unfortunately was the worst dish. It had a really weird aftertaste, almost like ghee, which is unexpected in a chaat dish. We also had the Bombay pizza, which was decent, but comparable to other Indian pizza offerings. For main, we had the jackfruit kofta which was unique and tasty, but extremely spicy.

I haven't even been to the place but had the most weird experience when trying to make a reservation. For a party of 8 or more and on Friday/Saturday only prefix menu and would be $60 pp.. we are group of 10 and include 4 kids.. Manager on the phone is extremely rude with a take it or leave it attitude. I am second doubting if this place is honestly worth the food with this attitude. Is the service worth it? No mention of this on their website- you'll only get this when you call them to make a reservation

The food is terrible, we tried the home style chicken and the garlic gassi, it comes with white rice and we order extra Garlic naan, just let me tell you, only the rice and the naan is good but we had to add salt to it, the home style chicken only consist in a brown sauce that taste only like clove, it’s terrible, and the shrimp it’s tasteless, the naan fix everything, pretty expensive for a little portion, we asked for the non alcoholic beers and they didn’t have any of it that night, the waiter was very kind, beautiful restaurant but the bathrooms was really dirty.

We recently hosted an event at Dhamaal and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we started planning, the team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and worked hard to ensure everything was seamless. The space itself is superb—warm, inviting, very well decorated and perfect for gatherings.

The food was delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The guests couldn’t stop raving about the menu! The staff was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and professional, making sure every detail was handled flawlessly.

If you’re looking for a venue to host a special occasion, I strongly recommend Dhamaal. Thank you for helping us create such a memorable event!

They advertise as BYOB, but they charge $10 corking fee. It left a bad taste in our mouth . The restaurant was completely empty… so we walked out and go to a better place.

We visited the establishment for our anniversary dinner and had made prior reservations. We were seated near the entrance, which resulted in a noticeably cool temperature throughout our dining experience. I selected the homestyle chicken, which was satisfactory, although the spiciness was unexpected. My colleague opted for the Afghani lamb chops and thoroughly enjoyed the harmonious blend of spices that complemented the entire dish, particularly appreciating the chutney.

There was a slight delay in receiving our beverages. However, the wait was justified as they were visually appealing and delicious.

The garlic naan was presented in four substantial pieces and possessed a pleasing taste.

One star deducted due to discomfort from being seated at the entrance despite open tables and a delay in service after being seated.

Nice interior decor and ambience. Very tasty food with some fusion. Good service but should not automatically add gratuity. Great violinist, played nice bollywood songs down the memory lane from 90s.

The food was amazing, and the service was the best. The environment was also great with murals on the walls, and there was even live music!
