I just moved here and was so excited to try this "hakka" restaurant…read moreI say "Hakka" because it is absolutely not Hakka Maybe we caught the chef on a bad day, because my experience was absolutely different from the reviews. We ordered the classic Chili Chicken dish as recommended by the server but it was more like a sweet and spicy chicken. Tasty, but def not chili chicken. We also ordered Chicken 65 which was way over powered by mustard seeds. Decent but, definitely NOT chicken 65. We ordered the chicken platter so we could get a taste of all the diff types of chickens and unfortunately was left royally disappointed. Flavors were plain and chicken was over cooked...rubbery and chewy On a positive note the plain Hakka noodles were good for my kids. The service and ambiance are nothing to write home about. Overall, nice place but you definitely won't find me here again I'd say 2.5/5 if I could.

Came here on Father's Day. I've wanted to try it with all the positive reviews. I can say the…read morepositive reviews live up to the food. The restaurant is quite small however, nice quaint and very clean. We ordered a number of dishes: Chicken 65, The Spinach Paneer, Lamb Korma and Butter Chicken. We also ordered sides of Rice and Naan. The Chicken 65 was an appetizer. It was a fried chicken fritter similar to a boneless chicken wing. It was delicious and had some kick. The best way to describe the dish would be small bites of chicken covered in a pakora batter. So instead of onion its chicken. The Spinach Paneer was great. It had good flavor and had great texture. It paired nicely with the naan. The Butter Chicken was nice and creamy. It also had a nice a nice hint of sweetness. It was very good. I enjoyed eating it with the basmati rice. The star of the show was the lamb korma. The best part was the texture of the lamb. It was not overly gamey, and it melted in your mouth. The only slight knock on the food was the Naan could have been a little better. It was a little pita like. It wasn't bad, just not what I am used to. The service was great. Our server checked up on us frequently. This has to be some of the best Indian food I've had in a while. This will now be my go-to Indian restaurant. I really can't wait to return.

The Hakka noodles demonstrate confident wok technique, while the garlic naan arrives properly blistered and aromatic.

Quite a gastronomical experience from picking up the fork to an empty plate, craving for more…read more Bawara have advertised Tandoori options through Indian cuisine and Hakka cuisine as well. Wanting to try out the Indian cuisine first, Mango Lassi, Lamb chops -one of the Tandoor options, Lamb Biryani. Lassi was refreshing and will balanced. Lamb chops were delicious. It went so well with the freshness mint chutney as well, but great just by itself. I wonder if a Naan would have paired well with it. Ajmeri biryani was again different and a new variation of Biryani( out of so many) that I tried. It was again delicious and had a mix of flavors to it, maybe even a hint of fried rice of some kind to it to as well. Loved the presentation. Second visit called for the Indo-Chinese Hakka cuisine. Chicken wings were flavorful with really good texture. Chicken munchurian was as good as I remembered it from my childhood experience. Chicken szechuan noodles was just what I expected it to be with the flavor as well. Both of them paired nicely. The first visit service was really good, but it suffered to a 2 stars during the next visit. No one stopped by to pick up the menu, bring plates, pick up the used appetizer plates and drinks cups to make space for the entrée on a small table. They left the food on the next table for us. Someone who was not attending our table finally refilled the water (with was nice), but it was such a strange experience with service, quite different from the previous visit. That's the only reason for 4 stars. Also Masala Chai was good, but not at par with the food and it wasn't as hot.

I was told about this place by a friend while I was in search for breaded mutton rolls…read more I can't rave enough about this place-it has limited menu, lots of snacks hot and packaged. It is located in a fairly busy plaza not in terms of traffic but it has many good eateries. I got some mutton rolls, they were fresh and delicious not overly spicy. The roll was full of flavor. Priced just right. I also tried their dried fish in masala now sure what it is called but it was absolutely divine. These are these tiny dried fishes made with their local spices and peanuts my god. I took it home and devoured it will daal/lentil and rice. I was traveling soon so didn't get other stuff but next time I'm there I'm definitely trying a bit of everything. Fabulous customer service, the lady and the gentleman behind the counter were so friendly and helpful. If they are the owners you guys are running a fab show I'm sure you know it. I love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely a 5 star. Super clean too. Lots of parking outsides. If you are wondering the location it is by Armeens and Masraways kitchen.
