To be honest, I should have known…read morefrom the second I walked in that this was going to be an amazing meal, even with the simple, casual atmosphere typical of any lunchtime locale. The fragrance of Indian spaces immediately welcomed me. The staff was friendly and took our order right away. When the food arrived, it was brought by a man with kind eyes and an easy smile that made it feel like family. Both of us took our first bite and knew that we had found something special. I had the Butter Chicken Biryani, which was full of warm flavors, and spiced just to my requested level. My companion had the Samosa Chaat, which she said was delicious, fresh and flavorful. Portions were very generous. And the prices were extremely reasonable as well. Before leaving we decided on a dessert of Gulab Jamun, which was the perfect companion to an extraordinary meal. After ordering the dessert, we were offered little sample taster cups of their chai, which I had never tried anywhere before. I now know why people enjoy chai. It is such a full bodied, warm drink with delightfully complex flavors. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting a warm and delicious meal served by a caring and delightful staff.

Food: is below average, some of the items listed where not on the menu Service: the fact that the place was empty, should have been our first sign. Ambience: The air conditioning has apparently been broken for a week. When we asked if there were any fans, we were told they knew about the problem. On the bright side, if you enjoy dining in a sauna, this place has you covered. Even a glass of ice water would have earned a standing ovation--but there wasn't any. We've eaten here before and remembered it being much better, so this was disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, but for now we'll be taking our adventures--and our appetite--somewhere cooler.

I've really enjoyed their appetizers and snacks -- especially the Dahi Puri and Samosa Chaat, which are packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. One dish you absolutely shouldn't miss is their Kofta Curry. It has an excellent blend of spices that brings out a rich and satisfying taste without being overpowering. Overall, I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys medium-spicy Indian food with great taste and variety. It's a solid spot for both snacks and full meals.

We were curious to try this spot since it replaced the Chinese restaurant, and we're so glad we did! Our server, Harpreet, was fantastic. She was very attentive and proactive, warning us that the chicken biryani has a kick. Since my wife prefers mild food and I like moderate heat, her guidance was much appreciated. We ordered the chicken biryani, garlic naan, and butter chicken-everything was delicious. The ambiance is clean, beautiful, and feels quite upscale. We can't wait to return and try more of the menu!

Extremely disappointing experience -- especially the way the manager handled it…read more We have been coming to Amrutha Vilas almost every week, but after today's experience, we will not be returning. We ordered idly, baby corn Manchurian, and fried rice. The idly came out quickly, within about 5 minutes. Then we waited around 30 minutes for the baby corn Manchurian and nearly 50 minutes for the fried rice. We repeatedly followed up about the fried rice. The restaurant was not even busy when we arrived -- barely three tables were occupied, along with a few online orders. More orders started coming in later, and somehow ours was completely forgotten. What made the experience much worse was the attitude of the person/manager(guy wearing spectacles) handling the situation. After we had already waited close to 50 minutes with a hungry toddler, instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, he came over and basically said: "Your rice is coming in 2 minutes. Either take the rice or I'll give you a refund and you can go." Seriously? After making a family with a toddler wait almost an hour because your staff missed the order, the response is essentially take your food or take your refund and leave? Mistakes happen. An order getting missed can happen at any restaurant. The real problem was the complete lack of courtesy, accountability, and basic customer service afterward. A simple sincere apology and respectful handling of the situation would have made a huge difference. Instead, the attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely unacceptable. This was honestly one of the worst customer-service experiences we have had at a restaurant. We were regular customers and came here almost every week. Not anymore. Losing a loyal customer over a missed fried rice order is one thing; losing them because of how rudely you handled your own mistake is another.
