We come here regularly and always have a great experience. Love both the comfort classics (which includes a few surprise items from my youth) and especially the fusion cuisine. The vibe is upbeat and fun. Portion sizes are ample and we always have leftovers to enjoy the next day. We’ll be back!

My wife had been before, but it was my first time at Dhamaal -- we look forward to coming back again soon! The food is beyond delicious -- each dish was presented beautifully and was an amazing experience! Definitely try the Kale "Pakora!" It exceeds your expectations in every way. And their "Bombay Twist Pizza!" is a fun and delicious fusion that complements the rest of the meal nicely. The service was friendly and attentive. When we arrived, the restaurant was overly warm (it had been a hot day) but cooled down when they opened the exterior sliding windows. Something they might anticipate better as the weather warms up. Overall, a memorable evening and one that we will have us coming back for more.

Food is delicious and plated beautifully. Drinks are all nonalcoholic and they are great too. It’s byob if you want. The vibe is excellent - all the decor is stunning. Only downside was the gulab jamun churros were just ok. Churros weren’t as crispy and I imagine churros to be and they didn’t necessarily taste a lot like gulab jamun. Would absolutely go back though.

I don’t know why they accept reservations 30 minutes before their kitchen closes. On top of that they were rude and pushy about it, we were still eating when 2 of their staff came over asking us if we’re done and should they bring boxes. Terrible experience, Spice Bazaar or Four monkeys or Chashni are much better for your Indian food fix, do there instead.

Dhamaal redefines Indian food for many of us. The dishes are so creative and reflect a much wider diversity of Indian cuisine. The presentation is stunning, served in dishes and containers that are specially ordered from India. Our waitress, Dia, was incredibly attentive and helpful. I can't wait to return to this treasure of a restaurant.
