Just Don't Go--Save Your Money…read more I've given Asia Derbar a fair chance, both with the previous owners and now with the new management. The last owners were rude and grumpy, but at least the food had flavor--though I got sick a few times and even ended up in the ER once. Under the new management, things have only gotten worse. Prices have gone up, portions have shrunk, and the overall experience is disappointing. I ordered food for a friend's party, and they delivered a quarter-filled tray of Qorma while charging me the full price for a "full" tray. The Biryani was a full tray, but it doesn't make up for being overcharged and under-served. Honestly, I've lost hope in Desi restaurants. Sorry, but this place is just not for me. I have a big family, and none of us will be coming back--this wasn't even my party, but it left a lasting impression. Save your money and stick to something reliable like Subway.

While the chicken and lamb were flavorful and well-prepared, I was particularly looking forward to the goat. Unfortunately, the goat dish was a letdown--mostly bones with very little meat, which made it less enjoyable than I had hoped. On a positive note, the sides complemented the main dishes nicely, adding some balance to the meal. However, the experience left me wishing for more consistency in the quality of the dishes, especially given how much I was looking forward to trying the goat. Overall, Namaste India has potential, but there's definitely room for improvement. Cheers

We found Moringa via Yelp and could not have been happier with the experience. While the outside is simple the inside of the restaurant is quite nice. The owner was very helpful picking out gluten free options and answering questions. The food was absolutely delicious! She loved her butter chicken and I enjoyed my Palak (Saag) Paneer and naan very much. Moringa is well worth it. They have great food with polite and helpful staff. We will definitely try to stop in again. Yum!!

This is officially our go-to spot when we want a full-on punch of real Indian flavor. As someone…read morefrom South India, it is rare to find food that actually tastes like home--but this place nails it. The kind of food that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod. The space is small and simple--people are here for one reason only: serious, no-nonsense deliciousness. Alex, Siva, and the team are fantastic--super welcoming and always happy to guide you. They even offer two spice styles (American and Indian), each with mild, medium, and spicy. Choose wisely... or bravely. The usual dishes like tikka masala are great, but the real magic is in the South Indian menu. If you are not sure what to order, just ask--they will not steer you wrong. We have also started ordering catering for parties, and let me tell you--nothing validates food like a room full of very judgmental Indian relatives going back for seconds and thirds. At our last event, the quiet "this is really good" nods said everything. We ordered chicken Chettinad, salmon curry, aloo gobi, goat biryani, and garlic naan--every single dish was outstanding. The only tragedy? Not enough leftovers for the next day. And do not skip the filter coffee. One sip, eyes closed, and you are instantly transported home, even if it's for a little while. Moringa team--keep doing exactly what you are doing. Love it!!

"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.

It's a small buffet, but it's honestly the perfect size for what we were looking for. Everything is clearly labeled and it was very clean! They switch out some of the options - the first time we went they had butter chicken, the second time they had chicken tikka masala. Both times they had vegetable biryani, tandoori chicken and a few other staples. Food was so yummy! They have a fridge with drinks (sodas, mango lassi) and they also offer beer and wine. The mango lassis were $5 each and well worth it. I grabbed one to-go! The weekday lunch special is $14.95/person and the weekend lunch special is $17.95/person. Definitely a great deal either way! I want to check out their full menu for dinner because it looks great. Can't wait to be back! Thank you so much for having us!

I ordered a simple Chicken Tikka Masala and Dosa (tough to screw up). The dosa was $17.99 and we got a 1 dry bread, 2 tiny sauces and a portion of flavorless sambas. A LOT of money for a very simple, less-than-average dish. The Chicken Tikka was too creamy, the chicken dry and not a ton of the classic Indian flavors I am used to. I wasn't upset about the long wait since I thought I was getting a freshly made, home cooked meal. Sadly, not at all what I expected from Indian food, and I was disappointed. I guarantee the proprietors don't eat the food they serve.

We ordered appetizers to get a good range of variety. The service was sooooo slow. And the glasses seemed as if they had been sitting on the table forever. The food was tasty. I had the mustard shrimp and potato paratha. Both were amazing. My one complaint of the shrimp was that some pieces were without tails which gave the appearance that they were left over. It just seemed odd. The temperature of the shrimp were a bit under warmed for my liking but the flavor was amazing. They gave three sauces- that were all bursting with unique flavor. Some were spicy. I did see they were preparing a ton of uber eats deliveries and there appeared to be one person managing all of that. So it makes sense for the slow service. I think I'd prefer to order takeout to dine in. Although the dining room is gorgeous, I wish they had someone to be more attentive to customers and describe menu options with a bit of feeling. Our waiter was a bit distracted so he seemed uninterested in conversation when we had questions.

Bombay Olive Indian Restaurant -- my go-to spot for Indian food!…read more Whenever I'm craving Indian food, Bombay Olive is always my first choice and they never disappoint! I recently brought my family here, and they left as brand-new fans of Indian cuisine. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and witty. They had us laughing all night and were very helpful when recommending dishes for my brother, who has a nut allergy. He tried the Rogan Josh, one of my favorites, and loved its rich spices and deep flavor. We also ordered the garlic naan, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, paneer saag, and non-veg thali. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and perfectly prepared. My 2 new favorite appetizer is the chicken pakora! It was seasoned and fried to perfection & tho chicken momos were delicious and juicy especially with their flavorful dipping sauce. Their samosa chaat was also divine, all the sauces between the yogurt, mint and tamarind sauce added such bold flavors! We absolutely loved it Bombay Olive is perfect for anyone who loves bold spices, comforting dishes, and a warm atmosphere. Whether you're new to Indian food or already a fan, this place is worth visiting!
