We happened in here after going to another store in the plaza. To be honest, I should have known…read morefrom the second I walked in that this was going to be an amazing meal, even with the simple, casual atmosphere typical of any lunchtime locale. The fragrance of Indian spaces immediately welcomed me. The staff was friendly and took our order right away. When the food arrived, it was brought by a man with kind eyes and an easy smile that made it feel like family. Both of us took our first bite and knew that we had found something special. I had the Butter Chicken Biryani, which was full of warm flavors, and spiced just to my requested level. My companion had the Samosa Chaat, which she said was delicious, fresh and flavorful. Portions were very generous. And the prices were extremely reasonable as well. Before leaving we decided on a dessert of Gulab Jamun, which was the perfect companion to an extraordinary meal. After ordering the dessert, we were offered little sample taster cups of their chai, which I had never tried anywhere before. I now know why people enjoy chai. It is such a full bodied, warm drink with delightfully complex flavors. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting a warm and delicious meal served by a caring and delightful staff.

We were curious to try this spot since it replaced the Chinese restaurant, and we're so glad we did! Our server, Harpreet, was fantastic. She was very attentive and proactive, warning us that the chicken biryani has a kick. Since my wife prefers mild food and I like moderate heat, her guidance was much appreciated. We ordered the chicken biryani, garlic naan, and butter chicken-everything was delicious. The ambiance is clean, beautiful, and feels quite upscale. We can't wait to return and try more of the menu!

The service is a little bit difficult due to the low number of servers and English barrier, with online menu, but waitress/host/bus girl was very kind and patient. Nice restaurant interior- great to sit and eat.

Extremely disappointing experience -- especially the way the manager handled it…read more We have been coming to Amrutha Vilas almost every week, but after today's experience, we will not be returning. We ordered idly, baby corn Manchurian, and fried rice. The idly came out quickly, within about 5 minutes. Then we waited around 30 minutes for the baby corn Manchurian and nearly 50 minutes for the fried rice. We repeatedly followed up about the fried rice. The restaurant was not even busy when we arrived -- barely three tables were occupied, along with a few online orders. More orders started coming in later, and somehow ours was completely forgotten. What made the experience much worse was the attitude of the person/manager(guy wearing spectacles) handling the situation. After we had already waited close to 50 minutes with a hungry toddler, instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, he came over and basically said: "Your rice is coming in 2 minutes. Either take the rice or I'll give you a refund and you can go." Seriously? After making a family with a toddler wait almost an hour because your staff missed the order, the response is essentially take your food or take your refund and leave? Mistakes happen. An order getting missed can happen at any restaurant. The real problem was the complete lack of courtesy, accountability, and basic customer service afterward. A simple sincere apology and respectful handling of the situation would have made a huge difference. Instead, the attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely unacceptable. This was honestly one of the worst customer-service experiences we have had at a restaurant. We were regular customers and came here almost every week. Not anymore. Losing a loyal customer over a missed fried rice order is one thing; losing them because of how rudely you handled your own mistake is another.

Tried calling ahead, but their phone wasn't working, so I ended up ordering in person. I got the samosa chaat, butter chicken bowl, and shahi paneer bowl. The samosa chaat was honestly amazing - tons of flavor and great texture, definitely the highlight of the meal. The butter chicken and shahi paneer bowls, though, were just okay. The base had a weird sweetness to it that didn't really work for me, and the chicken wasn't as tender as I'd hoped. Overall, it was fine- not bad, not great. But I'd go back just for the chaat or to try some of their fusion stuff like the burrito.
