Mohit & Lina truly made our visit special! From the moment we sat down, they were welcoming, attentive, & genuinely kind, setting the tone for a great experience. Lina took amazing care of us throughout the meal, & despite saying she doesn't like sweets, she was easily the sweetest part of the night with her warmth & positive energy! Huge appreciation to Mohit as well for going above & beyond by bringing us extra garlic naan even as they were closing. That level of hospitality really means a lot. The butter chicken was excellent, the garlic naan was fresh & flavorful, & the mango lassis were perfect. Shoutout as well to Shubham & the rest of the team for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. This is a place run by people who truly care, & it shows. Looking forward to coming back again!
Verandah is a beautiful restaurant with an outstanding atmosphere & truly top-notch service. The staff is attentive, polite, & professional, & the ambience is elegant & relaxing-definitely one of the highlights of the experience.
The food is good overall, but it feels more blended & toned down compared to traditional Indian cuisine. The dishes lack the bold, authentic masala flavors one would normally expect from Indian food. If the restaurant advertised itself as Indo-Western or fusion cuisine, this approach would make more sense & set the right expectations.
That said, the quality, presentation, & consistency are still solid, which is why I'd rate the food 4 stars. For atmosphere & service, however, it's an easy 5 stars. A great place for a refined dining experience-especially if you enjoy milder, modern interpretations of Indian flavors.
We visited this Indian restaurant last night & overall had a great experience. The food was delicious , we ordered dal makhni & some breads, which were excellent. The chicken dish was a bit on the spicier side for us, so we couldn't fully enjoy it, but that's more of a personal spice tolerance.
The service was warm, attentive, & genuinely appreciated.
Just a small suggestion for the owner: the downstairs washrooms could use a bit more attention. The garbage bin was full with napkins spilling onto the floor, & the floor was quite wet without a visible wet-floor sign, which could be a slipping hazard. Regular washroom checks would really help.
Being from the same industry, I understand how important these details are. That said, it was still a very positive experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-star rating , we'll definitely be back & will happily spread the word to support the restaurant.
