You'll get a code via email, but you still have to redeem that code IN the restaurant. I was expecting a electronic gift card. And since the restaurant is geared towards food delivery services and take out, when you redeem the gift card in the restaurant and order there it takes them FOREVER to get you your food. In my case it took more than half and hour from the time I ordered until I got my food; so I had to burn all that time sitting around in the restaurant, while other take out orders and delivery services got their food more quickly. The restaurant itself is clean, if a little dated.

We have never been disappointed, and the service is wonderful! Elish is great! He will make recommendations on what to order or the spice level, and he is never wrong. He is also very accommodating with any restrictions (I am allergic to cilantro and have never had a problem here). Basically- just go. Just go, love it, and make it your regular spot. Well worth it. Oh! Also- is gorgeous inside. It's not too loud, the decor is dark, jem tones and gold, and the bathrooms are always clean (and super cute).

Ever since I first tried it when I was in college, Indian cuisine is my favorite. Because of that,…read moreI've been to a LOT of Indian restaurants over the years, and Lassan is easily in the top 3 for me. The food is always excellent. It has those above-and-beyond touches that let you know that extra care went into it: the meat and naan cooked in the tandoor oven always has just the right amount of brown; the vegetables have just the right amount of caramelization. The sauces are deep and flavorful. The gradation of spiciness is nicely linear -- you won't get surprised when you jump up one level. The plating and presentation is simple and delightful. There is quite a variety of mixed drinks on offer! My absolute favorite is the boozy chai. This one might be one of my favorite drinks of all time; it's very much like an apple cider with just the right kind of alcohol in it. It's warm, rich, deliciously spiced (not spicy, spiced), and it has a wonderful layer of foam on top. Definitely try this. To cap it all off, the service here is always impeccable. Good recommendations, excellent balance of presence and leaving us to our devices. We very much appreciate whenever we get to eat during Sujal's shift, so please pass along our thanks to him as well! This place is fantastic. I cannot praise it more. We will be moving away from the area in the coming months, and will be very sad to lose it has an option. If we're ever in the area again, we will not miss the opportunity to eat here! (For the record, I am not AI just because I used an em dash!)

It had garage parking nearby. My chickpeas were spicy as ordered, and came with two nicely puffed breads, and an array of pickled onions with a fried chili pepper. It was a proper rendition of the dish. Someone else ordered the same thing and asked for extra salt to dump on the chickpeas, which just baffled me. The flavor was ample. I also ordered a chai, and while they call it a cutting chai (which I understand to mean cut in half in size), it was a decent amount and a nuanced mix of spices. The owner was a little odd and was making calls to various tables and being kind of pushy such that it made one little girl uncomfortable to the point where her party complained about it, which was acknowledged by staff. I would advise them to put the customer's well-being first, but neither I nor the offended parties would seem to have any compunctions about coming back for the food.

The weekday Thali and entree lunch deals and happy hour are well worth it! The Veggie Thali was loaded with 7 little dishes - Paneer Tikka, Saag, Dhal, yogurt, Cauliflower Gobi, Picked Veggie, and Rice Pudding as well as a crispy Paaper and Naan. The red Paneer Tikka as well as the spinach and corn Saag hit the spot! They paired so well with the fluffy and scrumptious Garlic Naan! The fluffy, pillowy-soft Garlic Naan was scrumptious! The Happy Hour (Mon - Fri 2:30 - 6:30pm) is a great deal with $8 apps (entree size!) and $6 cocktails. The Gobi Manchurian has a spicy kick. If you like spicy, go for it! The Karari Palak Chaat has a crunchy base with chickpea batter with crispy palak spinach and topped with sweet and tangy chutneys and yogurt. My daughter enjoyed the Vegetable Momo with a dozen bite-size dumplings. The apps were a generous size and could easily serve as a entree. The Lychee Martini was boozy and packed a punch and glad I got some extra lychee juice to dilute it. The Malai Kofta was creamy and flavorful. The Kofta were a bit stiff. The Palak Paneer was a bit tangy with soft, chunky pieces of paneer. Dhal Paneer Makhani was very tasty. The Mango Lassi was sweet. The food was pretty mild and not spicy. The service is great, shout-out to the waiter Navaan and the owner, Shankar. They are both very nice to my daughter and me. There's another lunch deal $14 with veggie entree, rice, naan, and dessert - will be back for more!

When looking for somewhere to door dash dinner from a few weeks ago, the Wife and I were excited to…read moretry new (to us) Indian restaurant after ordering almost exclusively from another restaurant based on reviews online. Unfortunately, each dish we tried was worse than the one before. Samosa was ok, although spicier than necessary. The Papdi Chaat was a mushy mess. The Butter Chicken, was ok, although it was missing any distinctive spicy or creamy flavor. It was the only truly edible dish we could both eat without feeling sick after. The basmati Rice was good at least and the Garlic Naan was quite tasty that day although never reheated very well which was disappointing. And the Vegetable Korma, wow, that was by far the worst. It smelled and tasted more like veggie Alfredo than korma, and I don't mean that in a good way. I've had Korma at many Indian restaurants in the past and never, ever, ever had one this bad that caused both my wife and I to refuse to have any more after our first tries. All in all, as bad as the food was, I must say that I am most annoyed and disappointed not with the restaurant l, but rather with all of the positive and glowing reviews that the community previously had given this place. Had anyone who wrote an earlier review tasted Indian food before, or did we somehow figure out some wild algorithm of different dishes that were different than what anyone else had ever ordered from this restaurant??? I just can't figure out the answer to that one...and last piece of advice, do yourself a favor and if you've found a restaurant that you previously have loved and were happy with, don't rock the boat and stupidly try something else, because take it from me in this case, you WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
