    Food was delicious and service was excellent, if you like spicy food this is the place for you. As a Muslim I love how they made sure they had a prayer area a very nice touch.

    Rude person and behavior.

    Stopped here while we were in the area for a work weekend…read more We checked in at 9:30, and with the hours online saying open until 10:30 I figured we were good to go. We were sat as a party of 5 and were told very firmly that the kitchen closed at 10. So we figured it out quickly. Then we waited and waited for the waitress to come back. I gave chase around the corner and at 9:55 finally got her to come over to order. As we were ordering, the waitress cut my bud Vog off telling him to hurry. Insane. Then one in our party had to make a call but left us his order to put in - they didn't have any of it. Then she didn't write any of our order down -- 5 people. I ordered the butter chicken mild, which comes with rice. I added garlic naan and cheese naan as well. When the food came out it was solid - I'll give them that. Naan was good -- BUT THEY FORGOT THE CHEESE NAAN I ORDERED. Would have been nice to write that down ??? If this was take out - it would probably be 3.5-4 stars but the horrible attitude, the pushiness when ordering, and the you don't belong her feeling we were given is inexcusable.

But today is Tuesday, friends, and fortune smiled upon me. We had an Indian FEAST tonight and it's some of the best Indian food I've ever had (and we love it in this house). We got samosas (my favorite Indian snack) with a zippy lil mint chutney that was absolutely slammin'. There was Karampodi Chicken: flavorful, spicy, and deeeeee-licious. There was garlic naan, soft and wonderfully garlicky, and a light, crispy masala dosa served with chutney and sambar that was absolutely to die for. The chicken tikka was rich and spicy, and the Andrha Shrimp Curry was incredible. Delicious and SPICY. We got takeout so I can't comment on the atmosphere of the restaurant or service, but the food is an absolute home run.

    I've been enjoying Indian food for over 30 years, and I can honestly say this place--only seven…read moremonths in--is already one of my all-time favorites. There are a couple of traditional dishes I always use to measure an Indian restaurant: **Tikka Masala** and **their breads**. Here, both were absolutely phenomenal. The tikka masala was deeply flavorful--you could practically taste each individual spice working in harmony. Just outstanding. The menu also really stood out to me with several unique offerings I haven't seen at other Indian spots. We tried a **fried eggplant appetizer**, and it was fantastic--the contrast between the warm, crisp eggplant and the cool, refreshing salad/salsa on top was perfectly balanced and really memorable. Service-wise, there was a single host managing the front during our visit, and he was charming, personable, and impressively on top of everything. Highly recommend. I'm excited to return and explore more of the menu.

No where near to being the authentic food it was supposed to be. Chicken Chettinad was equally dissapointing with taste of only coconut oil and mild flavors. No spice at all. Not sure if the food is dialled down for locals but honestly even then there are better options available.

This restaurant is mainly for take out and catering. So when you want to dine in, which odd possible, it feels a bit like sitting in a storage room. But again, the food is totally worth it!

Generally all…read morethe biryani sold in United States are variations of Hyderabadi biryani style but it's hard to find Awadhi style or Kolkata style biryani here in USA. Honestly I felt the biryani was close to the biryani from Kolkata with potato and egg. We did a take-out even though there is a beautiful seating area. However, there was no one inside other than the chef. Only con I would say for the owner would be to clean up the kitchen and entry area. The entry area is greasy maybe due to the huge catering orders but as I said I really love the newly renovated inside seating area and it has huge potential both for the restaurant and the food but cleanliness must be a big factor because once a person feels anything about the cleanliness you might have hard time to draw customers back again. My earnest request and recommendations would be to keep the entry area clear of boxes, clean, Spic and span because that will help you with your business and for us to keep eating Kolkata style food. Food is fine but cleanliness is the key!!!

    I drove 39 minutes to dine here, hoping for a great experience, but unfortunately it was very…read moredisappointing. From the moment we walked in, there was no welcoming attitude or positive approach while ordering. The staff member taking our order appeared distracted, frequently on his phone and more focused on lip-syncing to Hindi songs playing on the TV than assisting customers. We ordered Paneer Butter Masala (spicy), but it lacked flavor, salt, and any level of spice. It was very bland. The naan was served cold and seemed like it had been made well before the main dish and left sitting out. Additionally, one item my daughter ordered was completely forgotten. My wife and I were almost finished with our meal when I went to the counter to ask about it. We were told it had been forgotten. During most of this time, it was difficult to get the staff member's attention because he was on his phone. When I asked for his name as we were leaving, he said his name was Utsav and that he is the owner. That made the experience even more disappointing. As a customer who drove a considerable distance, I expected professionalism, attentiveness, and at least a welcoming atmosphere. I'm sharing this as my honest experience and hope management takes customer service and food quality more seriously in the future.

    Perhaps my dining partner and I expected too much... Perhaps. But one thing is certain: Despite…read morebeing highly recommended via a variety of sources, our recent visit to Agua Bistro proved to be something of a disappointment. Our dissatisfaction pertained neither to the restaurant's appealingly cozy ambiance nor to its spot-on personable service. Rather, it was related solely to the preparation and presentation of a portion of the cuisine; which, despite their website's pontification - "Here you will find Chef's handcrafted à la carte menu inspired by a medley of Mediterranean flavors" - fell significantly short of expectations. But let's begin on a positive note... The Fried Artichokes, which my dining partner and I shared as an appetizer, as did the other couple with whom we dined, received nothing but raves. Kissed by a balsamic glaze, caressed by Panko breadcrumbs, and pillowed on mixed greens splashed with lemon dressing, it was indeed an auspicious beginning. Desserts were also quite good... and our little group managed to sample several noteworthy possibilities. My dining partner, for example, enjoyed the Limoncello Cake while I opted for the Apple Tart with French vanilla ice cream. But by far the most interesting dessert of the evening was the Peach Melba, which was shared by the other couple. Actually, "interesting" is something of a misnomer, as the history of this famous confection is as intriguing as its checklist of ingredients is delicious. Peach Melba is a dessert of peaches, raspberry sauce, and vanilla ice cream (Agua's version also adds whipped cream). It was invented in 1892-93 by French chef Auguste Escoffier at London's Savoy Hotel to honor Australian soprano Nellie Melba. In 1892, or so the story goes, Ms. Melba was performing Wagner's opera Lohengrin at Covent Garden. At a dinner party in her honor, Escoffier presented her with a dessert of fresh peaches served over vanilla ice cream in a silver dish perched atop an ice sculpture of a swan (which is featured in the opera). Originally Escoffier called the dish Pêche au Cygne (Peach with a Swan). Several years later, however, he changed the recipe slightly by adding a topping of sweetened raspberry purée and renamed the dish Pêche Melba. Tasty fried artichokes and tempting desserts notwithstanding, it was the entrées that proved to be the kitchen's undoing... And topping the list of eminently forgettable items was my Pan Seared Atlantic Swordfish, which was overly breaded, unattractively hefty of countenance, exhibited a decidedly mushy texture, and tasted offputtingly "fishy" in spots. Ill-chosen accompaniments such as gloppy white beans, olive tapenade, and bland, under-seasoned, undercooked vegetables did absolutely nothing - either gastronomically or asthetically - to remediate this sorry state of affairs. Definitely not the kitchen's finest hour. While other entrées were not as distasteful as my swordfish, they were still nothing to write home about. My dining partner, for example, wasn't exactly thrilled with her Chicken Parmigiana. Not that it was beneath contempt... but she certainly had seen and tasted better in numerous other establishments. What was particularly telling to me was that the kitchen appeared to be rather careless with its entrée presentations. The food photos I observed on the restaurant's website were strikingly beautiful. Up close and personal, however - in the flesh, so to speak - their appearance clearly lacked a certain savoir faire. And for an establishment that seemed to posture itself as significantly above the ranks of plebeian cookery, this was an unappetizing paradox indeed. The major offender in this regard was undoubtedly the Wild Mushroom Ravioli swimming in a madeira cream sauce. Which, while a feast for the palate - at least according to the other gentleman in our party - was also famine for the eye, bearing, in my opinion, uncanny resemblance to the regurgitation of an endangered species. I don't mean to imply that each and every item placed before a diner needs to be a work of art... On the other hand, it should possess sufficient visual appeal to contribute to rather than detract from the enjoyment of an evening at table. In this instance, with just the slightest bit of effort, I think the kitchen could have made this particular presentation infinitely more pleasurable to the eye. An absolutely charming little BYOB, there is no question that Agua Bistro has all the makings of a first-rate eatery. That being said, however... for idealistic promise to become gastronomic reality, it appears that there must be a significant improvement in both the quality and the character of their entrées.
