    Very nice experience here in midtown. Service was fine, ambiance was good. Good was tasty. Tried a few things everything was flavorful and I'd come back again. You can make a reservation online but during the week we didn't heed one.

    It was delicious! It's not too salty, it's not too oily . It tastes better than Indian food eaten in India!

    Saag with shrimp

    The restaurant was exceptionally quiet, with ample space. When I got there on a Wednesday night, it was surprisingly empty. The service was impeccable, and the food was authentic and delicious. My meal was fantastic, with a spice level of 4 (out of 5), which was just right for my taste preferences. The portions were generous, leaving me with enough leftovers for another meal. We also ordered two naans, one butter and the other spicy. If you're not a fan of spicy food, I recommend going with the mild option. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely return.

    Blue India is an elegant Indian restaurant and bar. It usually gets busy at night, which is the only time I have been, and seating can get limited quickly as the space is not the biggest. It is located in Midtown, so parking might also be a hassle but there is a nearby parking lot and the restaurant also gives parking validation. The atmosphere inside tends to be quite lively and there is usually at least one large party there. The service is also good and the food does not take too long to come out. I always order the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Mango Lassi at Indian restaurants. I want to start off by saying that I LOVE their Mango Lassi! It tastes extremely creamy and smooth, but not too sweet. I also really enjoy eating their Chicken Tikka Masala as it is packed with flavor and spice (I get a medium spice level). I do feel like their Garlic Naan could taste more garlicky, but that is because I am a huge garlic lover. I will say that this restaurant is a bit pricey and the portion sizes are not too big, at least for the Mango Lassi and Chicken Tikka Masala; however, the dishes taste great. Definitely check this spot out if you are in the city!

    Butter chicken with rice
    Eileen T.

    This place has a wonderful ambiance. It feels very intimate and classy but is also casual and comfortable. We were greeted warmly from the instant we entered and were treated wonderfully our entire lunch. The server was very friendly and attentive. My friend and I ordered and split the butter chicken with rice, the raisin coconut naan and juju beach bhel. Everything was absolutely incredible. Honestly the best butter chicken I've ever had and that raisin coconut naan was so wonderfully unusual and went beautifully with the butter chicken. The crunchy bhel was very different but fresh and light, a nice cold dish to accompany the chicken. The butter chicken is really too small to share by itself but with the naan and the appetizer also shared, it was enough for my friend and myself. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a treasure in the heart of midtown Atlanta.

    My boyfriend and I wanted to try something different for dinner, so after a quick search, we ended up at Blue India. We didn't have a reservation, but they seated us quickly. The atmosphere was lively, with groups celebrating birthdays, couples on dates, and a generally fun vibe! The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the samosas, shrimp, and naan bread. For my main course, I had the chicken masala, which was incredibly flavorful and savory, paired perfectly with basmati rice. While parking can be stressful in the city, it's worth mentioning that they offer parking validation for the lot next to the restaurant--a huge plus!

    This is by far the best Indian food in Atlanta! From the rich, flavorful curries to the perfectly spiced biryani, every dish is a masterpiece. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. If you're in Atlanta and craving authentic Indian cuisine, this is the spot to hit! 5 stars all the way!

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Shareen C.

    Blue India is the best Indian food around Georgia Tech! Every time I come here for dinner, there's never a long wait. The inside of the restaurant is dark but well lit enough. You can even see the kitchen and the making of the naan through a glass window! I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and the garlic naan. If you want more of a spicy kick, you can order the bullet naan. Note they automatically add a 18% service charge for tables 4 or more.

    Chicken  Sixty-five
    Kee K.

    This is my second visit to Blue India. My first was for a Yelp event. If you're looking for a Pan- Indian fare and cocktails with an upscale dining experience, then this would be it. The ambiance is very chill and cozy, and the staff is always helpful, friendly, and accommodating. It is located in the Metropolis residential lobby with a few other restaurants. The food is very flavorful. My favorite dish is the Chicken Tikka Masala, but I decided to switch it up for the Chicken Sixty-five and the salmon bites with a side of garlic Naan. The only downside to the Chicken Sixty-five is that the dish can't be altered in spice level. I like my Indian food very spicy, and this dish is just tossed in a mild chili sauce. I would definitely circle back and get it again regardless. Blue India also validates your parking for two hours, so be sure to bring your ticket with you.

    Tandoori Chicken
    Tia R.

    Had a great experience at blue India for dinner. Parking on the street was easy for a Sunday. I ordered an aperol spritz, garlic naan, tandoori chicken, and chicken tikka masala. I left the spice level at medium just to start off slow. But if you like spice like me try a level or two above that. You'll be able to handle it. Everything was delicious and filling. I also enjoyed watching the kitchen make naan through the glass window. It added to the deep blues and metallics with natural wood. Great for a date night. Especially because it's pretty small in there. A big party may be a hassle. The aroma is mixed spices and a little smoke from the sizzling plates. The waiters were attentive and the check machine comes to your table so handling the bill happens fast. I'll be back to try another curry and a few cocktails

    So I've only had Indian food a handful time at a place in Athens, but I've driven and walked past Blue India and finally decided to check it out today. We came right when it opened and was seated promptly. This is a large location with plenty of seating for large groups. We ordered the Punjabi samosas and the yuca with chilli oil for an appetizer. The samosas only came with two which was a downfall but they were perfectly crispy on the outside and well seasoned on the inside. Came out hot and fresh. The yuca was great for the table and definitely see myself ordering again. It wasn't super spicy so this is good for those who are skeptical against spice. We both ordered the lamb tika masala which came with rice and got a side of butter naan too. Honestly, I think we could've split one meal between the two of us. Blue India doesn't explicitly say it's family style eating but it kinda is. I ordered the medium but I wish I would've got the spice level up to add some umph to it. The tika masala was good, different than what I'm used to but still good nonetheless. The garlic naan was also fresh, warm, flaky and paired greatly with the meal. Overall, reasonable priced Indian food in Midtown with an extensive menu. Definitely see myself coming back to try out some of their other menu options.

    What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code…read morethankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant.

    I stopped in for a quick drink before heading to my next destination, and my experience was not…read moreonly disappointing--it was unacceptable. I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink.

I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
