Went to lunch w/ a friend here, primarily b/c it's near Costco and I needed to get gas there, and…read morethen saw that there are good reviews and the prices look pretty reasonable. All of the above were true, and the food was quite good too. Each of us got a lunch special w/ Thai Basil Beef, and it was a good dish. I enjoyed the wonton soup and side of rice too, and it was a really great price for all of that. Service is pretty fast and friendly; the waiter switched our soup orders by accident, but when he came back to bring more stuff, he noticed when we had switched them, which I give him some credit for. Everything is nice and fast, no issues there. Inside, it's a pretty good amount of space, and nice decoration throughout. My friend and I both thought the door to get from the foyer into the restaurant had a really nice design. Everything in there is clean and nicely put together. Men's room was clean too - not very big, but good enough size.

"Where are you from" is not a polite question to ask anybody as a good book of manners might teach…read moreus. Thus, while service was reasonable, a person shouldn't assume anything about anyone: not these days, nor any era. To give each customer the benefit of doubt is the most basic of refined manners. The food, however, is well prepared and fresh in quality. The restaurant does seem to cater towards a more elderly audience based on the presentation styles and music choices. While the vegetables and shrimp dishes were clearly fused from different cultures to some extent, the fried rice might have had a bit too much salt as diabetes is on the rise these days--so we tend to choose lighter salt in meals. The pricing could also be more reasonable for simple and traditional choices.

When I first noticed this new Indian spot on Yelp I didn't realize it occupied the same location as…read morea very good Polish spot. In spite of good reviews and a second change in decor, that business was not able to survive very long. As I walked in to pick up my order I had mixed feelings. Sad about the fact that another very good and unique European restaurant was gone, and wondering about the future success of the new business. I noticed that the place had been painted and redecorated once again . This I guess could be called an Indian fusion house, offering many common dishes along with some I had not heard of. They also have Indo Chinese options. My first visit was so good that I thought I would return once more before reviewing. I tried the garlic naan and aloo paratha, both good to very good. The paratha was very thin and had a delicately spiced potato mixture inside, I wished there was more filling but enjoyed as it was. The chicken 65 tasted very good, but had too much sauce as I would have preferred the pieces of meat to be crispy. Chicken Radha was a rustic curry with about half of a bone in chicken. I loved this dish and the portion was 2 meals. Chicken biryani was equally tasty and came with very good raita. Chicken Manchow soup was new to me, think hot and sour soup and then add copious amounts of ginger and garlic. You have to like garlic to appreciate this soup, and I do and did! Service was friendly on both visits and orders were packed up very well, with additional onion, lime and peppers for the biryani and crispy noodles to top the soup with. A good friend went to dine in and had a great meal too, taking advantage of the all you can eat lunch Thali. I'm at about 4.5 stars for now....

Overall Ratings: Restaurant 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 4/5 Parking Free Atmosphere: The restaurant is very nicely decorated, clean, and open. Service: Our server was very friendly, answered all of our questions with professionalism, and came by a couple of times to make sure we were doing well and that our water was topped off. What We Ordered: (The menu is quite extensive with many items to try.) -Punjabi Samosa (Very good with just the right amount of spice. The dipping sauces were a great addition.) -Goat Biryani (The portion was very generous and it was delicious.) -Butter Chicken (It was good but could have been better. The chicken was just cut-up Tandoori chicken, and I would have preferred fresh chicken.) -Mango Lassi (It was good and refreshing.) Final Thoughts: I would definitely go again. The food we tried was very good, the service was excellent, and the staff were friendly.

I ate in with friends a few days ago. When we arrived the place was almost fully packed(10 tables…read moreor so) and I was worried we'd have to go elsewhere. They quickly cleaned off a table that had just left and we were seated in a few minutes. We ordered Malai kofta, kal dosa with chicken curry, bone in chicken biryani, garlic naan and Gobi 65 as an app to start. The cauliflower came out very fast, perfectly crispy and nicely seasoned. I was surprised that no raita or other sauce came with, honestly it was still probably the best I've had. The kofta was delicious as well, the sauce was sweet, savory and creamy. The biryani was done well too, not crazy spicy but enough for myself and my companions. Chicken was fall off the bone. The garlic naan was good, thinner version. My favorite dish was the kal dosa. This is a smaller dosa that only gets cooked on one side, making it thicker and more pliable for gathering up food and sauce. I loved the curry it came with and also the dosa. I had planned on taking out from here a few days prior to the visit, and will definitely go back soon for that purpose. Service was just ok. Maybe because they were slammed when we first walked in, but things calmed and we were still not attended to without having to get someones attention. With that being said, this may become my fav Indian restaurant in the area, let's say 4.5 Yelps for now.....

We were excited to find this new Indian restaurant in a small strip mall. Tucked away in the corner…read moreyou could just drive past and not see it. Thank goodness for Google Maps and Yelp! The staff was helpful and attentive. The owner came by and spoke to us for a while - he has experience cooking various cuisines besides Indian, and has worked on cruise ships. Their specialty is in South Indian cuisine and they've been in business for 6 months. The garlic naan was thin and crispy, different than the thicker, breadier naan we usually see. The flavor on the chicken tikka masala was outstanding. We liked the lentil spinach dish, low flavor but more natural tasting. Very reasonable prices too! We had the rosemilk, asked for no added sugar. A great find and we will be back. Love supporting local businesses!

I ate at the same restaurant last year when I stayed at the Hyatt Pl., Hotel last year. The hotel…read moreis right next-door and so I can walk to this restaurant. It has an outdoor patio, which on Friday afternoon when I arrived was quite crowded. It has a very large bar area and since I was by myself, I just sat at the bar, even though I wasn't having an alcoholic beverage. I had an unsweetened iced tea with lemon, which they kindly refilled as soon as it was empty. I've been trying to eat healthy so I ended up getting the blackened grouper sandwich, but without the bun, and instead of the french fries I got a side of steamed broccoli with garlic. The fish was actually quite good and the broccoli was very freshly made in crisp with garlic. They have a pretty big menu with all kinds of food foods and the one interesting thing that they have here that you wouldn't expect is sushi and sashimi! Is located in a mall next to the Barnes & Noble. And it's my go to restaurant in that plaza whenever I stay at the Hyatt Place hotel next-door.

We waited 40 minutes to pick up a prepaid order, only to find out that although the restaurant had…read morereceived the order at the front, ongoing POS system issues meant the kitchen was never notified or sent the order. If these system issues are persistent, there should be a temporary process in place to ensure orders are communicated to the kitchen. The staff were already aware of the problem, which suggests this isn't a one-time occurrence. Management needs to address this so employees aren't left dealing with frustrated customers because of a known system failure. The staff apologized and offered to rush our order by moving it ahead of the others already being prepared, but by that point we had already been waiting 40 minutes, had children waiting in the car, and it was getting late. We ultimately canceled the order and requested a refund. This experience wasn't about the employees, they were courteous and tried to make it right. The issue was the lack of a reliable backup process for a known system problem, which created an avoidable inconvenience for both customers and staff.

Have no idea how we never tried La Casona in the years my spouse worked nearby or how we missed it…read morein Yelp searches. Well we fixed that as of last night and wow did we have a tasty experience. Bryan, our server, made sure we were ordering in the best way possible to ensure our return trip. So many tasty dishes to choose from and we had both narrowed down to two which Bryan explained and guided us on. Ironically my dish per a Google AI search was the most enjoyed dish. Funny, AI can now even help summarize all the Google reviews and to distill it down for us in seconds. So on this Friday evening after work, here's what we ordered... we start off with a mango margarita which we shared and this was over ice not frozen in a properly salted glass and boy did it taste awesome. We started off with an appetizer of the.Pastelillos Boricuas (3 pieces), it was for us cooked to perfection. It was not over fried. The meat was tender. It was tasty. It was. The crust was soft, even though it had some crispness to it, and I would absolutely start with these again. For our mains, my wife had the Ropa Vienna Platter and she absolutely loved it and reminded her of her time down in Miami for school and getting local Cuban or Caribbean or Puerto Rican food and this just hit it for her. For me I followed my Google AI search... The standout, highly-rated dish at La Casona Restaurante & Bar in Hamilton is their Trifongo. Customers rave about this signature item, often ordered with Churrasco A La Criolla (skirt steak in a flavorful Creole sauce). This came in a wooden round bowl at first I thought it was a coconut shell. It was absolutely delicious moist tender tasty. Our whole dinner experience met exactly with what I was looking for when I told my wife I'm tired of our usual restaurants. I wanna try something different. I don't know what it is but it's a food group that we don't eat or don't eat often and that's how we found La Casona. They have a bar. There's a huge parking lot outback indoor outdoor dining. It's perfect for romantic night out for two as well as large groups. Note they have different pricing for cash paying versus credit card. Staff super friendly courteous the place is immaculately clean, and the food was scrumptious.

I believe we've ordered from here for office events, and we went for dinner one night as a group,…read moreand all of it has been great experience - the food and the service. It's a relatively unassuming space; we went during the week, so it wasn't super crowded, but we had a good time there together. I can't recall exactly what I ordered, but the shared items and drinks and food were all delicious, and I would be down to return! Hope to order again from them in the future, or to visit again!
