The ambience of the restaurant was quite pleasant. The staff was friendly. The menu had a decent variety. The over all wait time was good and fair price. We tried veg Manchu soup, chicken lollipop, and garlic naan with chicken Chettinad. Chicken lollipop was not good and the garlic naan was too good.

The food here is bussin! Authentic and made to order Indian food. The chicken tikka masala had the most tender chicken, herbs and vegetables in it. The garlic naan was made fresh with real garlic and herbs- cooked thin and crispy. I am huge fan of Indian food and this place probably is one of the best I have ever had. It is so worth it. I did not do the lunch buffet, but did the à la carte menu. The decor is cozy, colorful and lovely music. Come here for the delicious and savory food with great service!

Fresh food!! Very authentic. Appetizers are so so good except chicken lollipops and vegetable manchurian, which were not well cooked inside.

The food was great. We enjoyed the chicken 65. The person who served us helped us taking our family pictures as well. Excellent customer service. At the end he gave us a complimentary dessert. Their bathroom is nice and clean. Highly recommended.

Happy to have found Dvaraka. Placed was packed and I think we got lucky to get seated right away. Service was quick and everyone was courteous and knowledgeable in guiding us with the menu. Portions were decent. Loved the serving dishes. Food tasted very good. All the accompaniments tasted fresh too. Loved the Iranian chai at the end. Definitely check out Dvaraka.

After hearing about their lunch buffets on Friday and weekends, we decided to check it out on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised with the chicken samosas, butter chicken, and their gulab jamun. Everything was delicious and their complimentary butter nann was excellent. The buffet is a little expensive (around 19 dollars) but so worth it!

We found this one while walking around the downtown area. The price is fair for lunch so we decided to give it a try.

Bought chicken lollipop, shrimp 65, chilli fish, butter naan, garlic naan, kadai chicken, Hyderabad dum biryani, egg biryani. Lollipop and kadai chicken and naans are best. Shrimp 65 is not the way expected. Lot of flour. Chilli fish has no salt. Biriyani… Full cardamom taste. No biriyani taste. Not like biriyani at all.. cardamom masala rice. Cost is only for the location. Not for the taste. First time eating a biriyani with bitter taste.
