Everything about this restaurant is top notch. Food was amazing, cocktails were exceptional and the service was excellent too .
I met two girlfriends for dinner. We tried the price fixe menu and loved everything we ordered. We went relatively early and at first could hear each other just fine, but as the crowd came in for dinner it became harder to hear. Overall, though, I would highly recommend Baar Baar.
Good was good, not great. Everything was lukewarm when it came out. Not very attentive staff, had to run down a waiter to order.
What a disappointment! The food was so beautifully prepared, I was expecting phenomenal flavors but oh, it was not to be. I have never had such bland Indian food, nay, any food that was as bland as our dinner last night. We tried five different dishes and they were all devoid of any flavor or spice. It's not a good sign when the only thing we remarked on and truly enjoyed was the wine and cocktails. I appreciated having lots of menu options for our group's various dining proclivities and the service was very friendly and attentive but the lack of taste in any of the dishes was truly surprising. To then receive a giant bill in the end having not enjoyed any of the dishes was even more disappointing. I felt duped. Still do.
Our first time having dinner at Baar Baar and it was truly an amazing experience. Our server Layla, and team were excellent and the food was just fantastic!
The food compared to the price point is an incredible value. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very attentive. We will definitely be back.
Great bartender, food came quickly and tasty. Portions on the small side, wish the music wasn't so loud for an nearly restaurant.
My fiancée and I decided to stop in here on a whim for lunch, and wow are we glad we did. We just found our new favorite spot for Indian food in town. The food was excellent (we both got the buffet), the dining room was clean and had nice decor, and the staff was so kind to us and our one-year-old daughter. I also overheard when another patron came in who was trying Indian food for the first time, and the staff took the time to describe the different items on the buffet for her and provide recommendations, which just struck me as really great customer service. The prices were extremely reasonable too. Overall we had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to come back!
The food was mediocre at best. I was very disappointed because the restaurant decor and ambiance is actually quite nice. The food not only tasted average but it came out cold and I could tell the food was not fresh. I would not go back.
Came here on Christmas Eve for a lovely dinner with my family. It was perfect! My family was raving about the food and everyone was so sweet. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you for making the holiday special!!

Incredible food, and buffet Friday gives everyone a chance to try Indian cuisine. Highly recommend!
A Tale of Two Visits 💔 My initial dining experience at Baar Baar was nothing short of spectacular! ✨ The entire evening was a joy, highlighted by truly amazing service and wonderful dishes. I left feeling impressed and eager to return. Unfortunately, our most recent visit fell dramatically short of that high standard. While the quality of the cuisine remains impressive—the food is still undeniably very tasty and flavorful 🌶️😋—the service side of the restaurant was a massive letdown and significantly spoiled the overall experience. 😔 The Service Disappointment 🚩 Our server, though seemingly enthusiastic, appeared more focused on their own agenda than on us as guests. They were very keen on giving recommendations, which I usually enjoy and am open to exploring, but they consistently ignored any direct questions we posed about the menu or our order. It felt like we weren't being listened to at all. 🙄 The fundamental issue, however, was the inattention to basic necessities. Simple items like water and extra spoons were forgotten or delayed multiple times. ⏳ This constant need to chase down essentials was highly disruptive and frankly, unacceptable. Final Recommendation 🤔 Given the premium price point of dining at Baar Baar 💸, one expects and deserves a polished, attentive service experience to match the cost. Because of how things went this last time, I would currently recommend going elsewhere for a better overall value and dining environment. That said, if you are a true food connoisseur who can genuinely tolerate and mentally block out frustrating service just to savor high-quality, delicious cooking, then you should absolutely still go for the food alone! 💯 Just manage your expectations regarding the hospitality.
We've been going there for 15 years. There's a reason we drive 20 minutes, and past 3 other Indian restaurants on our way there. 😁

Food was good. Honestly, we had too many servers taking care of us. Someone checked in every 5 minutes which became disruptive. But the paneer pinwheels were fabulous. Need better wine options. Cocktails too sweet.
Literally the most fresh Indian buffet you can ever ask for. Bar none. Must go for lunch.
