We were in the city for 3 nights. I made reservations for the second and third nights. Left night one open. I found Saar online, it was less than a block from our hotel so we figured we'd give them a try. So glad we did. Nice place. Great, friendly service (Karim is the man!), and excellent food. I ended up cancelling the reservations I made for night 3 and we went back to Saar. Give them a try if you like Indian food. It was amazing!

Overall this place is great. To get any negatives out of the way, the abrasive glow from the theater across the street took me out of it a little bit. Also the mocktails we got were overly sweet and lacked flavor. However the food was yummy - we had the samosa sampler, fried paneer (pretty okay not the best), and butter chicken with naan and rice. The butter chicken stole the show for sure. The staff was friendly and attentive and service was fairly quick for a Saturday evening....

The food is not particularly inventive, but it is classic down the middle Indian. Solid choice for pre-theater dining because service is time efficient and friendly. The food was a little oversalted but not so much to cause a major problem. The chef should just tone down the salt a little. Prices are very fair and the atmosphere is nice and clean. I would go back for sure.
