Great ambiance and VERY inviting and courteous staff. Cocktail drink (Made in India) was watered down. I ordered Chicken Saag (Chicken simmered in spinach) with roti. The overall taste and flavor was good. You can feel the flavors of spices, and yet it wasn't overwhelming, which was good. However, the Chicken was just the cubed breast pieces, which were VERY dry rather than moist. It was comparative hard as one other reviewer have mentioned. No thigh pieces what so ever....

Beautiful space, with a lovely ambiance, it’s a pleasure to finally see an Indian restaurant that serves amazing food and has an awesome atmosphere. We LOVE IT.
The food was fantastic too.
We got the navratan korma and paneer tikka masala, bullet naan and mango lassi. Our server Surjit was very nice. Portion sizes are generous, we also enjoyed the music. If I was to be picky I’d say the only complaint I had was, the last time we visited, the kofta in malai...

Gulzar’s is top-notch Indian food. We ordered the Butter Chicken and the Chole, along with naan bread. All three were fantastic. We picked up our order and it was ready very quickly after putting it in. The staff was friendly. I am looking forward to trying the rest of their dishes. I’ve tried many Indian restaurants throughout the states and I believe Gulzars has to be up there in the top.
