    It was great Indian fusion food with great vegetarian curries and biriyani. The waiters were super nice and attentive.

    Visited on a Tuesday, the front desks were very welcoming. Service was very very slow. Food was ok for the price, maybe better for non vegetarians. came here for a birthday celebration, also left it in the reservation notes, but we weren’t offered any birthday wishes or complimentary dessert. Would except attention to detail from a place like this.

    Your feedback is invaluable to us, Abhi. We’re glad to hear the front desk made you feel welcome, but disappointed to know we missed the mark when it came to pacing and celebrating a guest. If there's any way we can make this right or you wish to share more, please reach out to us directly. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and truly impress. Best, The Team at Baar Baar

    The service, unfortunately, felt somewhat disjointed. There was noticeable confusion regarding our order, with one dish never arriving—yet it still appeared on our bill. Additionally, no one checked in to see if we might like a second round of drinks. Despite noting in our reservation that we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday, there was no acknowledgment of this special occasion. Upon arrival, we were initially offered seats directly by the front door, even though there were numerous vacant tables available. When we expressed a preference to be seated elsewhere, the greeter left us standing unattended for an extended period. Ultimately, it’s the thoughtful attention to such details that elevates a restaurant from merely average to truly exceptional.
    Baar Baar - LAResponded on May 23, 2025
    Your feedback is truly appreciated, Viney. We would never want our guests to feel they are not our top priority when dining with us, so we're disappointed that was your experience. We also apologize for not making your daughter's birthday the celebration it should have been. We will be sure to speak with our team, understand our mistakes, and correct where we need to in order to improve our guests' experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another chance in the future. Best, The Team at Baar Baar

    Great place to eat with family for a celebration. Food is beautifully presented and enjoyable for everyone in our party. I love how the table was cleaned and new plates offered between appetizer and main and dessert. Some difficulty choosing gluten-free and vegan options for one member of our party.

    Service was horrible. Server rarely checked in on us. Two dishes never came and had to repeatedly ask for them. Water wasn’t refilled. Was waiting for the check at the end and finally had to go to the bar myself and have my credit card run. I never really review but this was probably the worst service after a long time so had to say something. Bartenders were great and very helpful.
