Wow I just realized every time I come here I get essentially a variation of the same thing. The salad is fresh and delicious per usual. I tried the cheese naan for the first time: bussin.

Great fast casual and affordable option in PCM. I tried the Indian restaurant for lunch, and I'll definitely be back! You can dine in, order to go, or order takeout here. Everything from bowls, to salads, to apps, sides and skewers. I tried the salad with the spicier chicken and it was very filling. The dressing was delicious. Also nice to have a lunch option under $20.

Masala Smashed Potatoes
Ramya R.

AMAZING! That's how I would describe the food we had at this restaurant in Ponce City Market. We ordered: -Masala Smashed Potatoes - Delicious, soft inside with crisp skin, and seasoned perfectly. -Paneer Tikka Roll - Great flavor, the paneer was soft, the vegetables were grilled well, the wrap was light, and everything came together beautifully. -Chicken Tikka Roll - Flavorful, juicy chicken grilled to perfection. The food is freshly grilled and made to order. The ambience is great, and the service was quick. Portions are filling, and the prices are very reasonable.

I had the lamb Seekh kebab roll from Botiwalla and I quite enjoyed it! I definitely liked how the lamb tasted. Initially, I thought the roll was pricey for $16, but after eating it, it wasn't as small as it originally looked.

This has easily become one of my favorite spots! While my niece was visiting we stopped by Ponce City Market. When she saw that we had a Botiwalla she was immediately sold on eating here! I am so glad she suggested this spot! Home for her is Charlotte, NC and she mentioned they have a location there! How it works? You order your food at the entrance of the restaurant! Warning- they often have a line - yes it's that good !! After placing your order you are either given a number to place on your table if dining in, or just verbally given a number to wait on your to go order. I have been here at least 4 times within the last 2 months! The Crispy Masala Fish Roll is what keeps me coming back! The description from the website is as follows: Crispy wild caught Alaskan cod seasoned with cumin, lime, chilli powder, ginger, garlic. Wrapped in hot buttered naan with Desi slaw, onion, cilantro, green chutney & Maggi ketchup. (fish, milk, eggs, sesame, wheat)!! It always leaves me wanting more ! I have also tired the chai tea and cookies - I appreciate that the taste is light on both the tea and cookies. Other items I have tried are the Masala Smashed Potatoes and the veggie skewer. There is also another potato appetizer that I can't recall the name of. Everything I have tried has been a love for me ! In addition to great tasting food, the service has always been good ! This place is just a vibe and I highly recommend checking it out !

Lamb burger (4.25/5)
Ryan S.

I got the lamb burgers, which were pretty good (4.25/5) but on the smaller side, but they were still a reasonable value for $14, especially compared to some of the other places in Ponce market. The service was relatively fast (10-15 minutes), despite it being pretty busy.

Desi Salad- Paneer Tikka
Carlie M.

Came here for dinner a couple weeks ago. We ordered takeout. We got the chicken tikka roll and the desi salad with paneer. Both so flavorful! Great option to try when in ponce.

Chai
Prathima V.

I am from out of town and had never eaten at Botiwalla. I took a friend who wanted to have Indian food. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Wrap and chai! We both loved the wrap - it was tasty and a smidge spicy! Just enough without being overpowering. The chutney in it was delish! We finished it off with chai and Parle G biscuits. I'm a chai connoisseur so I was hoping that it was gonna be the real deal and it was! Milky and loved the cardamom flavor. I would totally go again when I come back to ATL.

Chicken wings
Savsri A.

Delicious Indian Flavors at Ponce City Market! I tried this restaurant for the first time, and I'm absolutely in love with the flavors! The food was incredibly delicious--definitely a must-try for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine in Ponce City Market, Atlanta. Although the line was quite long, it was completely worth the wait. The food had the perfect consistency and texture, and the flavors were spot on. I had the paneer tikka Roll, and it truly transported me back to India--so authentic and satisfying! My husband and daughter really enjoyed the chicken wings and the chicken tikka masala roll. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Looking forward to coming back and trying even more dishes next time I'm in town.

SPDP
Timothy L.

In a city with so much good food, this was my favorite food spot we tried! My friends and I shared the SPDP and the flavor was very addictive. I also got the lamb seekh kebab roll which was really good as well! It goes so well with the rata that they give you. I spilled the raita on myself on accident but they gave me another one for free. The art logo for this place is also super cool too I love it. Also don't forget the mango lassi!

Malai Chicken Skewer and Naan
Beatrice M.

Quite a solid place for an Indian place. We took the #2 bus from the North Ave Train Station and walk a block. We tried the Malai Chicken, roti and the rice bowl. The cilantro chutney hit the spot. It was order on the spot, get your own water and bus your own trash. It's a great quick bite at the Ponce City Market. Love all the different decor from each vendor. A great experience in Atlanta!

naan and lamb!
Tifanny B.

I was walking up & down Ponce City Market trying to decide what to get to eat and I am glad I landed on some Indian Food from Botiwalla. The lamb, naan and mango lassi did it for me. The staff was friendly and inviting. The people eating within the restaurant were sociable. Eating at Botiwalla felt warm both physically & emotionally!

Rice Bowl- Chicken Tikka
Jenna D.

Extremely average experience here today. Service was incredibly slow, probably a 25 minute line for 6 people?! The line was out the door and kept building. My family had finished their meals from other vendors by the time I brought mine to the table. Had the new Chicken Tikka Rice Bowl. It was fine, but don't expect it to taste of anything more than plain chicken on basmati rice. No sauce or flavor to the chicken, but at least it was cooked well. Super disappointed because Chai Pani is one of my favorites in the area, but won't return here.

TLDR: chicken tikka masala was delicious, chicken tender…read more I've gotten takeout from this place several times and always thought it was just good. But this past time I got takeout, the chicken tikka masala really blew me away. The flavor was very rich and well developed, without just a surface level flavor of tomato. Each bite of chicken was also very tender. To be fair I haven't had Indian food in a while and was really craving it but I was pleasantly surprised. Garlic naan could've been a bit more garlicky but was very good texturally, nice and chewy. The parking garage entrance is right next door (to the right of the restaurant) and you can get validated inside. If you're getting takeout, they text you a link you have to prepay through before they start preparing the food which is a bit annoying, but I get it.

Delhi Mule was unique and great…read more We ordered the chicken biryani, lamb Rogan Josh and an order of garlic naan. Everything tasted great. The rice that came with the Rogan Josh could have been a slightly bigger portion for the money, same with the naan. It's bread and rice, afterall. Arrived on a Friday around 7 and ended up sitting at a high top table near the bar. Service wasn't great as a result but we weren't in a rush. Would've been nice to have sat more inside the restaurant instead of near the waiter station in the corner. They have outdoor seating as well, but that wasn't offered to us so I can't speak to how often they have service outside.

Ghee Atlanta opened in 2025. This is the brands first restaurant that is not located in Florida…read more Ghee- Wynwood did earn a Bib Gourmond in the Michelin Guide. For a little clarification, a Bib Goudmond means the following: ". It is not a Michelin Star, but rather a highly esteemed separate accolade designed for budget-conscious diners looking for exceptional meals without the fine dinning price tag." I have had Ghee on my list since the start of the year. A friend sent me a link to West Midtown Restaurant week and I was excited to see that Ghee was participating. I was able to make a same day reservation for 2 at 7pm. When we arrived I was so glad to see the bright yellow signs for Ghee. They provide clear insight into the garage to park in as well as the direction to proceed in to enter the restaurant. They offer 3 hours of FREE, yes FREE parking! To obtain free parking you can scan the QR code located at the host stand upon entry. When we walked in I immediately noticed the beautiful decor. The ambiance is romantic and modern with stunning Indian flair. The ambiance is a win. The host staff was friendly and seated us quickly. A staff came over to offer us water as soon as we sat down. Our wait staff followed behind the water service within 2-3 minutes of us being seated. Throughout the dining experience I appreciate the customer service of every staff member encountered. For restaurant week Ghee was offering a $50 option to try an appetizer, entree and dessert from a curated menu. We did opt to do this instead of the traditional 13 item tasting menu that costs $65 ( you can do this tasting on Monday for $50) . The main reason we opted out of this option is due to my friend being pescatarian. the traditional tasting menu includes both chicken and lamb. The wait staff did mention that there is a vegetarian tasting menu. I did not inquire about the cost for the vegetarian option. What we ordered off the restaurant week tasting menu: To start we had the yellowfin Tuna Bhel and the samosa Chaat. For an entree I had the chicken Tika Masala and my friend ordered the Turmeric Marinated Shrimp. The entrees are served with naan and rice. We both ordered the garlic naan. For dessert we tried both options, the warm Sticky Date Cale and the Gulab Jamun. Overall the food was fresh, flavorful and enjoyable. The only items we both were not fans of were the garlic manna and the Gulab Jamun. The garlic naan just did not taste like garlic. I also felt that it was undercooked. When we mentioned the naan lacked garlic flavor our server did offer to bring out a garlic butter that is put in the naan. It did not help the flavor. The gulab Jamun is like a small donut that has been soaked in rose water. The description sounds refreshing, but in reality- it is just too sweet. I was not able to finish this item. I would also like to add that while I enjoyed the chicken Tika Masala, it is not the best I have had. Overall I enjoyed this dinning experience, and will be back to try more items on the menu. As for now my favorites are the Samosa Chaat and the sticky date cake ! NOTE: they do have a chai drink that is not on the menu-- it is worth checking out ! NOTE: restaurant week ends on 09/26/2026. You still have time to enjoy the $50 menu option!

First time dining at Ghee, won't be my last! They describe…read morethemselves as fusion, with no spice (and they cannot adjust spice which was disappointing). Ordered samosas off the snacks portion of the menu, two mains (Chana masala and kerala lamb), and an order of garlic naan for 2 people. We also ordered cocktails (blue truth and golden grove). It was definitely enough food and we would've been fine with without the samosas. I will definitely come back for happy hour food specials (weekdays until 7) and for their tasting menu ($65pp for 13 menu items or $50pp on Mondays). The table next to us got the tasting menu and it looks great.

(2) they give you a detailed description about whats in the dish and which Indian cuisine (east / west, etc). I love Indian food but I still can't remember what sauce is which. I appreciate the details. For the vegans & vegetarians - what keeps me returning is the tofu entrees. Yeah most Indian restaurants have vegetarian menu items - duh! But most do not also offer tofu on the menu! So when you want a high protein dinner option with amazing sauces then this is the local go- to. The people there are always soooo nice! We have dined inside 2x and take out several times. Very easy going pace. The interior has some wall decorations which is nice. I wouldnt say first date nice unless youre good with casual.

Here's what we got: BOGO (buy one, get one free) 2 Garlic Naan for $5.99 2 Butter Chicken for $23.99 2 Saag Paneer for $17.99 2 Chana Masala for $15.99 2 Chicken Korma for $23.99 Other 1 Okra Bhaji for $14.99 1 Eggplant Bhaji for $14.99 After tax, delivery fee, service fee, tip, Uber One delivery discount, and Uber One membership benefit, the total was $155.81. The food was delivered to our home less than five miles away. Upon delivery, several of the containers were still piping hot. Most everything was sealed securely in plastic containers packed in brown paper bags. Upon delivery, the containers had toppled over inside the bags - if one of them had popped open during the trip, it would have been a disaster. My favorite was the Saag Paneer. It's one of my favorite Indian dishes in general. Planet Bombay's version was rich, flavorful, and had its own distinct character. Everything else was tasty as well. There wasn't a single bad item or anything really to criticize. Perhaps we could've ordered more naan, but they packed plenty of white basmati rice for us -- 10 containers worth of rice alone. We'd order from here again.

The star ingredient in each dish truly stood out, while the other spices and ingredients complemented it perfectly and elevated the entire dish. The chicken and shrimp dishes were phenomenal, and every vegetarian dish we tried was equally fantastic. Each bite made us want another one! Everything tasted freshly prepared, flavorful, and beautifully balanced, without that artificial aftertaste you sometimes get elsewhere. We were completely stuffed and had zero room for dessert... but somehow ended up ordering the Dubai Chocolate Mousse, Rose Falooda, and Gajar Halwa with Rasmalai. And OMG--what a decision! Every dessert was outstanding and the perfect way to finish an already incredible meal. Amazing food, fantastic ambiance, wonderful service, and a great overall experience. Highly, highly recommended!

The mild goat also had a kick of heat but it was OK for me; in fact, this was my fav as the sauce was thick and flavorful, and the bone-in goat was super tender -- definitely had better quality than those sold in farmers market. Besides, the achar was quite salty, so salty that I could swallow it only with tons of rice. There are not many Indian restaurants in Midtown Atlanta. Compared to Tabla, another Indian restuarant only ~0.5mi walk from this one, the dishes in Blue india have a larger portion size, especially for their curry and biriyani. The naan was huge as well -- my peshwari was about 0.6lb! However, Tabla had more side dishes including tandoori vegetables, which made it more suitable for dining alone.

He seemed a bit frustrated early on until he finally let it go. Grateful he let it go because the naan wasn't even good enough to have more conversation around it. Then i wanted gulab jamun but they were closing so he offered me cold gulab to warm up in the microwave when i got home. i did not love that option and opted out. only reason im still giving this place 5 stars despite the service interaction is because ive dined out several times and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. besides from the music inside, no reason to dine in again.
