   Food was great, very tasty and flavorful. I would say the beer list was lacking due to being sold out of half of the beers. But overall an excellent mean and pleasant service. Enjoyed the card for the birthday celebration which was a thoughtful touch. Will come back for the food again.

   I wanted to rate this restaurant higher but the tiny tables for 2 made for a crowded space with multiple plates and glasses. Food was good, but nothing out of the ordinary to set it apart from our favorite Indian restaurant back home. Serving staff were enthusiastic and checked on us throughout the meal. In addition to the 2 vegetarian entrees, rice and one order of naan, a glass of red wine and a local beer brought the tab to shy of $100.

   A trendy Indian restaurant with very good small plates, curries and tandoori entrees. All of the food we had was very tasty and well prepared. They have an extensive wine list by the bottle ( It is wine country after all, and apparently they have a Michelin sommelier) but only offer the “natural” wines by the glass that they are pushing. We tried the “chenin blanc” and a red ( don’t remember the grape). Neither one was at all interesting or very flavorful ( in my opinion). They do have beer, which I would recommend if you don’t want to order a bottle of wine. I wanted to like the natural wine but did not.

   I had eaten at Bibi Ji's original location a few years ago and was looking forward to enjoying their food again. I remember the original restaurant having a lively, bustling atmosphere with a great wine selection and an excellent locally-focused menu that was heavy on seafood. This was not the case this time around. The menu is a small selection of the most standard American-Indian fare that they claim is "family style" - in reality, these portions are hardly enough for one diner. The restaurant itself - an overstaffed, neon-lit "clubstaurant" vibe - was half full on a Friday night, which made me feel silly for making an OpenTable reservation in the first place (especially one that would charge us $15 per diner for being late). Our server gave us a hard time when we asked for a tester of one of their wines, which seemed preposterous given that most bottles were between $100-$300. Lastly, and maybe least importantly, none of the servers could pronounce any of the dishes correctly on their small, unimpressive menu. You'd be much better off at Namaste Indian Bistro across the street.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry that your visit didn’t meet your expectations. Since relocating, we’ve actually expanded both our dinner menu and wine list. While we have evolved, our portion sizes have remained consistent and continue to focus on quality local ingredients. Our wine list includes many rare and limited-production bottles, which unfortunately aren’t always available for tasting. As for our reservation policy, it may feel strict, but as you noted, we are a high-traffic restaurant and this industry standard is an effort to accommodate as many guests as possible. We always love to be busy, but Santa Barbara does have seasonal ebbs and flows, which are out of our control. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another chance to impress!

   Fun, hip restaurant, with nice service. We went to try the wine list by Som. Parr. Not sure how I felt about the Tenerife wine, it was not really to my liking as it didn't really taste like wine to me. The portions of food were good (except the tiny raita). However, we found the Dal Makhani to be way too spicy to be pleasant. The Sag Panir and the paneer kulcha were great. The passion fruit lassi was a bit sour. The dessert offerings were limited. The sorbet was frozen solid, and chipping away at it wasn't that fun.

   Food is undeniably good. Very loud room. Inexperienced server. Pricing is not competitive, even considering the quality of the food.

    Not a lot of vegan options. No real vegan protein either. No tofu. No chick peas. Portions are small and expensive. Food tastes good but “family style” dishes not even enough to feed one person.
