Butter chicken is more tart than sweet, and the paratha is oddly more flakey than I'm used to. Overall, good portion for 2 people. They offer papadum with mint chutney and tamarind as a starter for free which was a nice touch. Soon to be a new brand with Thai cuisine included. Space is huge and certainly can hold a lot of people.

The Hakka noodles demonstrate confident wok technique, while the garlic naan arrives properly blistered and aromatic. The matar paneer evokes comforting home-style preparations that satisfy without pretension. Service proves consistently gracious across varying hours of operation. The kitchen can be uneven on occasion--certain dishes soar while others merely satisfy--yet when Bawara hits its stride, the results justify the journey. A neighbourhood asset particularly valuable for those seeking quality after conventional dining hours have concluded.

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.

Even the hot and sour soup tasted like we got it at a grocery store. Dining tip...if the options are "dry or with gravy" go for dry! The "gravy" is just corn starch goop squeezed out of a pouch. There is no discernible seasoning or combining of flavors. The ginger beef was more like grey truck stop roast beef dinner. We felt gross after eating. All 3 dishes get the same review. If you are looking for super bland and unchallenging Hakka, this is the place.

Upon first settling into the restaurant, we noticed that the music was quite loud, and it was hard to talk to one another. The restaurant was also empty, which made us wonder if it was okay to eat at. As we were waiting for our meal, we saw other guests come, which made us feel better about our choice. The food came very quickly, which we were surprised at. We found the naan bread to be dry, lacking any type of flavour. We also were hoping for the butter chicken to have more sauce as it was a tad dry. Overall though, the food was well-prepared, and the portion sizes were large enough to fill us all up.

The decor to the paintings on the wall fit well with the theme. The food: Butter Chicken: delicious, tasted fresh and they add fresh ginger on top as garnish wich adds well to the flavor. It is on the sweeter side. Gol gappa: on the website it looks like it comes in the form of shots but in reality you do have to esemble it your self. I found the chick peas to be a bit on the salty side. But it paired with ratia and tamirand sauce it wasn't too bad. Chili Chicken: hakkah option (dry). This was a bit on the sweet side but it was also very flavourful. I tried the dry option but this can be made in sauce as well. Lamb: this was not that bad. I found the curry to be a bit strong. There were too many different flavors and it all did not seem to go well together. Naan: fresh tandoori Naan. Service: A plus points for the service. They were very attentive.
