About this restaurant

Innovative
Neighborhood gem
Romantic

Cardamom Contemporary Indian Cuisine – named for the mountainous, spice-growing region of Kerala, India – departs from the conventional Indian restaurant by highlighting flavors and ingredients indigenous to the subcontinent’s southwestern region. The restaurant’s menu varies greatly from the more commonly found cuisine of the country’s northern and western states, and is one of the few upscale restaurants in America to pay homage to this specific region of India.

We've been here twice before and recommended it to friends recently only to hear feedback about the food that wasn't good, so we wanted to try it again with friends. On the latest visit, the service was slow, but they are very nice. What we noticed about most of the food is that it was rather bland compared to our visits less than a year ago. They seem to be using the same gravy sauce base in many of the dishes which should not happen and most of the vegetable entrees were undercooked. There may have been a change in management or the head cook, but the taste of the food is no longer authentic to the region as it had been. The staple papadams and condiments on arrival are good. The naans were tasty and cooked well, but the appetizers and entrees left us underwhelmed. Disappointing! We hope the food quality improves. One way, but not the only way, to judge a good Indian restaurant is to count the actual Indians dining there. We didn't see many this weekend, but it only added to confirm our thoughts.

Excellent Indian food -- every single thing was first-rate and very tasty. Service was perfect. The tables are close together, but we didn't find it very noisy, it was easy to have a conversation. Highly recommended.
