The food here was really, really good. I ordered the saffron butter chicken, and it was absolutely amazing -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. You could actually see the saffron strands throughout the dish, which I loved because it showed attention to detail and quality ingredients. I also had the garlic naan, which was perfectly done -- flavorful without being overpowering -- and a side of raita with cucumber, which was super refreshing and balanced the richness of the butter chicken really well. Now for the service -- it was a bit slow, which I'm assuming was because we came close to closing time. Still, I would've expected things to move a little quicker since it wasn't as busy. My biggest concern though was the cleanliness of the dishes. They brought out additional plates and cutlery, but unfortunately, multiple plates were visibly dirty. After being offered a few that were all the same, I just chose to eat directly from my original dish and avoid using them altogether. That part was definitely disappointing and something that needs attention. Overall: * Food: 10/10 * Service: could be improved * Cleanliness: major concern with dishware I truly enjoyed the food and would come back for it, but I'd definitely hope to see improvements in cleanliness and overall service experience.

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
Marissa L.

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.

Mango Lassi

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  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.

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.

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.

Lack of flavor, was looking for more of a rich flavor and spice and got none. That was my second time going and will not be returning.

Black Jack Bar Tapas is one of those restaurants that immediately makes an impression the moment…read moreyou walk in. It does not feel like you are still in Atlanta. Between the décor, the lighting, and the music, the entire space feels intentional and immersive in a way that sets the tone for the whole experience. It is the kind of place that makes you slow down and actually enjoy being there. We started with cocktails, and both were memorable in very different ways. The Cucumber Salad was one of the most interesting drinks I have had because it genuinely tasted like a cucumber salad. It was fresh, crisp, and unlike anything else I have tried. The Mango Sticky Rice, though, was the clear standout for me. It was sweet, balanced, and easily one of the best cocktails of the afternoon. For food, we ordered the 777 Platter, which came with Crispy Rice Tuna, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and Isan Fried Chicken. Everything on the platter was good, but the Salt and Pepper Shrimp was the dish that really stood out. It was perfectly seasoned, crispy, and full of flavor. The Isan Fried Chicken was also a must-order. It had great texture and was one of those dishes that makes you want to keep going back for another bite. By the time we finished that round, we were already talking about what we would order the next time we came back. We also had another round of cocktails, the Cosmopolitan and the Paper Tiger, and both were just as enjoyable as the first round. Next came the Kimchi Fried Rice with Steak and a side of Edamame. The kimchi fried rice was easily one of my favorite dishes of the entire meal. It was rich, savory, comforting, and packed with flavor. It is the kind of dish I would come back for on its own. To finish, we had the Yuzu Donuts served with Matcha Ice Cream and the Black Jack Lava Cake, along with one final cocktail, the Good Time Girl. Both desserts were the perfect ending to the meal. They felt like the right balance of sweet and satisfying without being too heavy. What stood out most to me about Black Jack Bar Tapas was that every part of the experience delivered. The food was excellent, the cocktails were creative, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made the whole meal feel special. It is the kind of place where you want to stay a little longer just because the energy is so good. Out of every restaurant I have visited for Reservations in the City, Black Jack Bar Tapas has easily become one of my favorites. Whether you are planning a date night, catching up with friends, or just looking for a place to treat yourself, this is a reservation worth making.

I read they had live music and I loved the idea of having a drink and relaxing to music…read more Unfortunately this is a lobby bar and is extremely noisy. We found a nice table and ordered a glass of wine. We had every intent of staying and eating, but this atmosphere is not what we had in mind. I felt bad for the musician because nobody was paying attention. Our server disappeared so even if we wanted to stay for more drinks it was a hassle. The bartender finally tracked down our bill and we decided to go elsewhere.

Rather than just finding out, he went ahead and made it and brought it out with the group's drinks. When I saw how good it looked, I decided to order one too. 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. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. 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!
