    What a find! Everything was fantastic from beginning to end! We were greeted quickly and graciously at both the door and our table. Our server, Aliston, was attentive and steered us in the right direction when ordering and thinking about spice level. We had spinach pakoda, and the naan can't be missed. We ordered the mango paneer entree, and it was delicious. They even had our favorite wine at a very reasonable price! Loved every minute of our experience.

    Consistently good, but not as appealing as once was. Spice and aromatic levels have dropped. Medium spice level now very mild. Basic ingredients seem high. Chicken tender and succulent, just disappointing about lack of spice. Perhaps provide better hot sauce for dipping, not Mexican style hot sauce.

    Excellent all around. It was a busy Saturday night and so pretty loud but on top of it was a young child that kept shrieking at the top of their lungs. It went on while and everyone was trying to look and see what was going on but just seemed the kid was screaming and family just carried on as though it wasn’t happening. Noticed the manager getting a read in the room and situation - disappears, reappears with a black cloth napkin and walks towards the table. I don’t know what he said did or created for that kid with that napkin but the kid stopped and was pretty much chill the rest of the evening. Brilliant!

    For my money, and it wasn't much, this was truly interesting Indian food. There was plenty of authenticity but with a fun twist here and there. The seasoning was superb without the spice being overwhelming. The only thing that really knocked me back was a bright green cocktail that really brought the heat. We loved our whole experience here.

    I’m very glad they brought back the lunch combos. It’s a great way to introduce Indian food to friends and coworkers. The food here is consistently good, something that seems to fluctuate in other restaurants. The tandoori chicken was on spot. So juicy.

    First time eating here. Everything was fantastic. My wife had the goat (first time trying that) and I had the Saag Paneer. We started with Samosas with Sambar soup as a dipping sauce, papadam and a masala dosai. Everything was scrumptious and even though the place was packed, we got excellent service. Only issue was my main dish was luke warm but they fixed that right away. Highly recommend!!

    Really like this place! feels like India. Disappointed in the reservation process and inability to request any seating. Had reserved for two, requested in the notes for a booth and was placed at the bar. Besides that, this is my new favorite place for South Indian fare.

    My Boyfriend and I had a great time at Lime & Lemon Indian Grill & Bar. We had the Salmon Tikki Masala, the Tofu Tikki Masala and it was amazing! Way more than enough food and the meal comes with endless rice. The garlic naan bread was great of course. & The drinks were perfectly made. Be sure to check them out. Best place to have a good time and have authentic Indian food.

    Appetizers were good and entrees were Ok. Not the normal flavorful experience you normally have with Indian food. Also, service was very attentive but they seem to be rushing us. Rush to get orders, rush to take menus and rush to get out for next party. May give them one more chance but first impression not great.

    We did not get a good explanation about the lunch specials but the service was very good otherwise. We were warned that most of the food is naturally medium spicy or hotter by request.

    Amazing food and generous portions. The staff is great too. We ordered off of the waiter’s recommendation for the most popular dishes. Everything was delicious. I also recommend getting dessert, even if it is something new. They also have a great bar, especially for a sit down restaurant.

    Lime & Lemon was our first experience with Indian food, and it was great! The staff was especially attentive and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with our table. They made great recommendations for what to order, and gave us extra rice to take home to go with our leftovers. I definitely recommend it!
