**A Wonderful Dining Experience at Adriatica Village**
After admiring this restaurant during our visits to Adriatica Village, we finally had the chance to dine here, and it did not disappoint! This was our first date night since my major surgery, and we are so glad we chose this spot for the occasion. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, with thoughtful, beautiful décor that set the perfect mood for a cozy evening.
We were warmly greeted by the owners, Mahi and Rama, who immediately made us feel like we were at home, adding a personal touch to our experience. For the meal, I opted for the Paneer Tikka Masala, which was absolutely delicious—perfectly spiced to my liking, not too hot but full of flavor. My husband chose the Lamb Rogan Josh, and he was equally impressed, describing it as "phenomenal."
The food was outstanding, and the service was equally excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

This really was such a nice experience. Great heartwarming food and such wonderful food. Can't wait to go back. Very nice ambiance and the service was great as well. It's nice to find a restaurant that offers such a good variety of food!
I’ve been looking forward to try food at Dhamaka for awhile now, and was so glad that I did! We tried Gobi Manchuria, Kadai Paneer, Haryali Paneer, Butter Naan. The food was delicious and the service was great! The ambience is great. I strongly recommend for everyone to visit this place for amazing food quality, taste and ambience.
Visited DHAMAKA for Indian food. The place was impressive, had good vibes. One of my friends suggested me for an authentic taste. loved it tremendously! Service is awesome too :)
We just drove 45 minutes to come and enjoy the delicious food at this restaurant. It was worth the drive. We ordered several different items and everything was delicious. We also ordered food to take home for dinner. I have to recommend the Chicken Biryani,Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Chicken Kabab, Chicken 65.
We really used to love this place but not sure what happened to it (change of owner or chef or struggling financially) ….got the lamb seekh kebab ($23!!!) which was dry and missing any real flavor, garlic naans (2x$4)which must have been plain naan as we couldn’t see or taste any garlic …. Then the butter chicken (18$)which must have had the chicken rationed and the sauce was anemic but at least flavor was decent. All that for $53 …. Not worth it at all ….. spend a large number of years traveling all over India and tasting the food and this used to remind me of it but not anymore …. So sad !!!
Responding to your reply ….
First feedback is a gift … take it but don’t attack or try and ridicule the person who gave it to you …. Next
Couple of facts
1. We have been many times before …. How would you know ? We did pick up and we have eaten there but you would not have my specific SSN so I doubt you can state that
2. I NEVER and I repeat NEVER said that I was checking the place out to bring by my family …. I have been so don’t need to check it out and so don’t tell lies as your food can be subjective but your integrity should not
3. I didn’t say before but as you found the order did you notice you overcharged for the kebab compared to your menu … 23 versus 21 … and I never had goat so now your integrity has gone again.
4. I asked for garlic naan so don’t educate me on garlic naans come with garlic and butter doesn’t … educate your crappy order taker to listen properly.
5. Maybe get a better quality checker or a better chef …. It will probably help
6. If you want to talk more let me know and I am happy to come back and give you the feedback to your face so there is no more doubt and just like you got my order wrong and bill wrong and food quality wrong we can avoid any gaps in your understanding.
Update again as you clearly don’t know customer service but I will stop by sometime and let you know
1. I do understand as I live in the US right near you so the Mexico comment is both stupid and demeaning to Mexico implying they don’t have technology …. They do and they have better Indian food than you do
2. You are still lying about my response … please post the recording if you dare as I know what I said and what I didn’t say …. You are a kiar simple as that
3. You got it wrong but seem to lambast customers who complain instead of accepting responsibility … looking down the reviews I am not the only one …. Maybe if you think the customers who complain are wrong then the common factor is you are. You used to have good food and good reviews but it’s been going done from what the data says so maybe look …. Maybe that’s why there were 8 people there at peak time when I picked up …. Tells you something
4. You changed names clearly to get a clean start but you took the name of a great and famous place but didn’t live up to its reputation …. Kinda sad you need to do that
5. Let me know your name so I can talk directly to you and you don’t hide behind one of your poor staff who has to lie for you or say your quality standards are met or the order was right …. You have mine so show your a true owner and don’t hide.
6. Call me anytime …. You have my number from your database and I welcome the call anytime.l would call you directly but I only have your restaurant number and don’t know who you are sir !!!

The food is excellent, no doubt about it. Presentation? On point. Taste and quality? Fantastic. But seriously, what’s up with those ugly spoons? You can get decent ones at IKEA or Marshall’s for cheap—no excuse to keep using those eyesores. And let’s talk about the water. It’s got this weird, rotten smell, like it’s been filtered through a damp rag. Maybe the towels you’re using to wipe the glasses are leaving that smell behind, but it’s downright gross when you drink it.
If you’re using tap water, stop. Costco sells six-gallon packs for a buck each. Stock up and serve fresh, clean water without the nasty smell.
And what’s the point of having amazing food if the water tastes off or your utensils and glasses reek of damp towels? Oh, and that ceiling storage situation? Hide it with some IKEA curtains or a space divider—no one wants to look at that clutter while eating.
A fancy restaurant with great food but an ugly mess of a view? Come on. The fans are so high up that they barely cool anything in the summer. Either lower the temperature or bring those fans down.
There’s a lot to improve, especially when your food is this good. Start with the water you serve and the overall hygiene—customers will appreciate it.

Dhamaka formerly known as Kings is a very authentic Indian restaurant with great fusions. I have to recommend the Palak Paneers, Tandoori and Tika. Biryani done in Cast iron is just so delicious. Very good for date night, friends outting and family gathering. Special thanks to our host Ryan he was amazing.
Good service and freindly service. Good place to try Indian cuisine.

I would not recommend this to anyone expecting a wonderful ambience inside. I found the dinning area to be dark and depressing. Talking about the food, I found everything pretty okay however if you're looking specifically for fresh butter naan (unlike the baked ones in the entire US), this place serves it and is really good. Quantity is smaller than usual so that's something to keep in mind while ordering
