Yaar is a popular Indian restaurant known for its delicious cuisine. The sesame naan remains a standout, being soft and buttery, and it pairs well with the tender and rightly spiced chicken chili. The biryani is a hit, featuring well-seasoned chicken and rice that can be customized to suit individual tastes. The chicken tikka masala is another favorite, loved for its great flavors.
The restaurant offers an extensive menu, including the lasuni gobi cauliflower appetizer and butter chicken, which some diners hail as the best they've ever had. Yaar provides a comfortable and stylish ambiance, making it a solid choice for those in the neighborhood. The service is attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a beautiful mural adorning the walls and upbeat Bollywood music playing in the background.
While the vegetable samosas are fine, the chicken variety is excellent, and the lamb option may lack flavor. The plain naan, however, is very good. Yaar is a great restaurant for Americans who aren't directly exposed to Indian culture, offering a taste of the cuisine in a welcoming environment. For those seeking more authentic Indian flavors, the experience may be underwhelming, but the restaurant still manages to earn a solid 4/5 stars for its overall dining experience.
