"There's a party going on right here A celebration to last…read morethroughout the years" (Kool and the Gang) What is the English translation of the word Utsav? Would you believe "celebration, or joyous occasion"? Well, I can probably declare that celebration is the right word to describe one of the best lunch specials I've found in months. Now brace yourself, and remove all breakables from the room, when I tell you that you can get a seven course Indian feast of a lunch for just $15. Utsav has 22 lunch specials priced in tiers -$15 for vegetable or chicken, $18 for seafood, and $20 for lamb. You'll find Utsav in the Wethersfield shopping center on the Silas Deane Hwy. All of those lunch specials start with a lightly dressed refreshing salad of greens, shredded carrots, seeded half cucumber slices, and sliced red onions. Now let me tell you about the remaining six courses. Your lunch comes out on a serving tray with lots of bowls - one each for your entrée, Basmati rice, eggplant with zucchini, spinach with potato, rice kheer for dessert (a rice pudding with raisins and nuts), and a separate plate with 3 wedges of Naan bread. I wanted to try something different for my entrée, and since I didn't think I ever had Khorma before, I ordered Chicken Khorma prepared very spicy. Korma is an Indian curry cooked in a yogurt sauce with nuts and spices. There was a good amount of tender chicken cubes, and that spicy curry was wonderful. Same with the rice, bread, and the vegetables, although I did prefer the spinach with potato over the eggplant with zucchini. There was so much rice and bread that I took half of those portions home for another day. I loved everything about Utsav, from the décor to the continental professional service to the broad menu, to those incredible Lunch Specials. Five Stars for sure.

We ordered a large spread to make our own little buffet and everything was amazing! We had mutter paneer, dal tadka, tandoori chicken, balti baingan, and hakka noodles. Everything was vegetarian except for the chicken, and even if you are a meat eater I recommend you try any and all of those dishes. The way Indian cuisine handles vegetables is always next level! It's hard to pick a favorite dish, but I have to say that the hakka noodles were perfectly smoky with tender-crisp vegetables, and the balti baingan, which is a dish comprised of smoky mashed eggplant, rocked my world. Service has always been great when I've been. It's friendly, quick, and I've never seen my water glass go down more than halfway. They also have a great lunch special that's almost like a mini thali which I recommend!

It's an all vegetarian restaurant and can make most ( if not all ) dishes vegan as well ! The restaurant is cozy and don't have a lot of tables . But we had no issues getting a seat on Sunday evening around 4:30 or 5 :) The food has always been fabulous , cooked perfectly . I ordered the Chana bhatura which is my favourite , chickpea curry with fried bread ( bhatura ) I like to order a side of Raita ( like yogurt) which can reduce the spice level ( if you don't like spicy food ) I also always order the chaat as well . This time I got the papri chaat which was delicious highly recommend Overall 4/5 ! 5/5 for food and service , just wish they had more space/ tables for busy /prime hours P.S the food is always so good I forget to take pictures every time ... this time is also no exception !

Bhog presently offers a weekday lunch buffet in addition to its menu items. The buffet options included two types of biryani, Aloo Gobi, Palak Paneer, Pakora, Manchurian Cauliflower, Chili Chicken, Dal, Chicken Tikka Masala, Naan, Bhuna Shrimp and a Custard with fruit for dessert. The standout items for me were the sauce for the Bhuna Shrimp (although there weren't many small shrimp left when I went through the line), the softly breaded Chili Chicken, which had a nice spice and peppers and the surprisingly juicy fruit in the custard. Most of the other buffet items were all solid versions. I didn't love their pakora compared to other places though. Service was fine, but not a selling point on this visit. The restaurant is nicely decorated. Bhog is worth checking out if you're in the area, although I prefer other spots in Hartford and New Haven Counties. 3.5 Stars

This is my first time with Tandoor in Middletown but based on glamour reviews of their food by Jon R (look him up!) I decided to pick up meal while passing by. I went with traditional lamb biriyani and Pudina naan bread. For starters, their menu is very diverse. Just the bread section alone and consume you for long hours - which a good thing, the more you can try, the more you experience. Delivery was prompt and food well packaged - definitely somebody put care into wrapping naan correctly. For those that don't find joy in Biriyani, it's a rice based dish (often basmati) with meat like lamb, goat, chicken, beef or shrimp (I got the lamb). The aromas and flavors of ghee, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon ginger or chilies stand out, with exotic spices like saffron. Often you find vegetables as well like onions and potatoes. Meat cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. Ordered portion should feed 3-4 people comfortably (as dish is filling) or leave one person leftovers for next 2 days - yay to next day and yet another one :-) Garlic sauce is a nice compliment if you go with the spicy variety (like me). Overall highly recommended! For vegetarians there is also meat free variant.
