So delightful, everything was wonderful. Victor suggested the best dishes, highly recommend this spot.

We had our wedding reception at Baar Baar. We wanted an intimate event with about 30 of our closest family and friends. The priority for us was good food and beautiful ambiance, and we got so much more. The planning process was very smooth, Jyoti was very helpful in helping us create a menu with plenty of food and to organize when everything would come out. She also hooked us up with her flower vendor who was incredibly talented, flexible and reasonably priced. The private event space is gorgeous. It didn't really need much, we only added flowers. The food is phenomenal, literally no notes, EVERYTHING was excellent. They offer creative takes on classic dishes. They kept the food and drinks rolling. Sandeep was a very attentive server and made us feel taken care of. Great place for a meal or an event, pricing was very reasonable. read more

They re-opened their brunch dining which yay I loved going there before, bud boo they got rid of my favorite lamb burger. The new brunch menu has some great new additions with the uttapam and they kept their selection of egg dishes. But I'm so heartbroken at the loss of the lamb burger I loved getting here. The owners went around and spoke to patrons and I was too shy to tell him that I missed off the menu. Maybe another time lol. The brunch duck tacos didn't skimp on meat or flavor, but I'd probably come back for the uttapam. Same bold flavors, but since we were told the brunch mains aren't meant to be shared, I'd think the tacos would come with 3 instead of 2. So I know not to come here TOO hungry because the portions are a little light. I still love baar baar, but my heart is a little broken. read more

First off, it's a beautiful interior and decor. Felt glamorous and charming, luxe but not pretentious. We were greeted warmly by all staff, had amazing service through out the meal, and the food itself was delicious. Cocktails were strong, flavorful and well balanced. I eat everything but my partner is pescatarian and we both were very happy with what we ordered. I recommend the tuna tostada and the short ribs. Dessert was by far my favorite part of the meal: we ordered the layered dessert, but when they brought it out, they also included pistachio ice cream and 2 glasses of pink champagne as part of an anniversary celebration. (Also a little candle on a plate that I accidentally blew out immediately) We felt so taken care of. Thank you Baar Baar! Would highly recommend. read more

Came here with my family to celebrate Mother's Day. We were excited to get reservations and it was a prefix menu. We had a great experience overall. A few things I would probably change, but overall it was wonderful. The family who owns the business also was cordial and kind and took time to talk to us. The vibe is incredible. Love the colors and it doesn't feel like a cheesy Indian restaurant. I loved all the appetizers. The main courses were OK in my opinion and the desserts were fine as well. The drink selections were great. I really look forward to coming back again, but to be able to order off of an alacarte menu read more

Went back after more than a year. Same great ambiance, outstanding food and drinks. Valet parking is available. You can't go wrong with the food, but my favorite is the Butter Chicken.

We visited after work on a Tuesday for happy hour. I loved the ambience, right down to the storybook drink menu! A beautiful restaurant! We ordered the chutney set with garlic naan and the butter chicken. The chutney set and garlic naan was delicious, but the butter chicken lacked flavor, big time. It was quite disappointing since we started off on such a good note. I think I would go back and maybe give something else a try. Maybe it was an off night. read more

The ambiance is very modern and elegant. We were immediately greeted by the owner and were taken to our booth. It was my birthday, so we received some special treats from the staff (champagne and dessert). Their cocktail menu is beautiful, I wish they had more on the menu because the concept of curating cocktails after classic Bollywood movies made my heart melt. I ordered the Slumdog millionaire cocktail. All the drinks were deliciously strong, packed with flavor and a heavy hand, which was awesome. We started with some appetizers and all shared the chicken biriyani, butter chicken, and garlic naan. Food quality was excellent. everything was well thought out and delicately put together. Thank you Baar Baar for making my day feel special! read more

Ambience is great no doubt and so are rhe drinks! The slumdog millionaire is a fan favorite for sure. The food however was not that impressive, maybe because I'm Indian? The presentation was lovely as is rhe decor of the restaurant but the creativity didn't always translate into flavor. The cauliflower 65 was our favorite from the night. Good flavors and nice texture to the gobi. The avocado bhel was a stretch. It tasted more like guacamole with a few crispy wonton on top to make it a "bhel". The sweet potato chaat was interesting with pakora on top adding to the crunch, mostly tasted of chutney though. The paneer pinwheels were disappointing. The sauce was basically tikka masala with 3 little rolls of paneer floating in it - not the best ratio. Service was very good, food came out quickly and they were very attentive. read more

They well deserved the 5 stars + for the food, service and the atmosphere. The food was very high quality and really pleasantly delicious. This place Indian food will take you to another level of the dining experience. You must try to go there to understand what I mean. I can't remember the server's name but he is from Slovenia something. He was really friendly, kind with very professional matters. This restaurant interior were absolutely beautiful and amazing. My mom who doesn't really care to eat Indian food that much, even my mom loved their food every bite of it. It was a eyes wide open experience of the dining from this place. We will definitely be back again. read more

I'm not a big fan of Indian food, but last night My Mom said she was craving Indian curry, so we went out for dinner. The restaurant is right near our home, so we walked there. The food was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was lovely, every dish was delicious, and everyone was very kind and friendly. I ordered the Paneer Pinwheel, my mom had the Shrimp Malvani Curry, and my brothers ordered Butter Chicken and a Selection of Indian Curries. All four of us also ordered Saffron Rice. Everything tasted wonderful, and the service and ambiance made the experience even better. We really enjoyed the nice ambience, tasty food and attentive & friendly service. read more

It's DineLA! Came here on a friday evening around 7pm. We were seated instantly for our reservation. Our waitress was amazing. The DineLA menu is great. The canapé,, beetroot chop was amazing! 10/10. For my small plate, I chose the kerala duck (birria) taco. I truly enjoyed it 8/10. For my large plate, I chose the traditional butter chicken (7/10) with garlic naan. I really love garlic naan but I will say, I wish the garlic naan was thicker. Lastly, for dessert I had the pecan brownie. It was tasty but I wished the brownie was warm. Street parking was free after 7pm but there is a parking garage next to the restaurant read more

My friends and I loved our experience at Baar Baar. Unfortunately it was raining like crazy on the day we had reservations for but that didn't stop us. We arrived to a rather empty restaurant (probably due to the rain). Staff took care of us right away seating us and explaining the menu. We had heard that they're known for their cocktails so we each ordered a different one. All of them were really good and I can see why people say their cocktails are good. The bar is also really impressive if you just wanted to come for a drink. All the cocktails are named after famous Indian movies which was really cute. For the food, we opted into the prix fixe menu (all parties at your table must participate) but it was perfect because the menu had a lot of their most popular items that we would've wanted to order and try anyways. We did end up ordering 2 extra items - the lamp chops as well as the jalapeno cheese naan. It ended up being more than enough food but everything was so good and we were so happy to try it all. The puri puri amuse bouche was SO GOOD! The avocado bhel appetizer dish was also surprisingly good. The traditional butter chicken with the saffron rice was classic but delicious and I loved the seabass fish as well as the jalapeno cheese stuffed naan. I normally don't care for beans but I can see why the Black Dairy Dal is $15!! It was so flavorful and a must get. Both the dessert options (Gulab jamun cheesecake and Strawberry Cassata) were yummy too. Not too sweet for both. read more

The service between the bartender/mixologist and our server was just top notch. Paired with the ambience and decor, it truly created a setting for an enjoyable dinner. I usually love wine with dinner but these days, especially the restaurants on downtown LA, have upped their cocktail game. With complex and refreshing flavors and an Indian kick, the cocktails were amazing. We did enjoy the food. The lambchop was decent and the short ribs and sea bass and butter chicken were delicious. I would skip the duck tacos. Not bad but not memorable and with the birria sauce, didn't really help with duck flavoring. I know they try to bring California twist to the menu but I would have done cheese birria taco with mashed peas or potato even. Shredding duck meat is just a waste. We also skipped a lot of vegetable and shared plates and went straight for large plates meat/seafood dishes with sides family style. Skip the dessert. Intriguing and creative idea but disappointing and underwelhming in execution. We definitely all had slight food coma at the end of the night, which is consistent with good Indian food. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner with my Yelp BFF, Karren, and we had such a memorable experience. They offer valet parking, but we parked in the paid lot nearby which was quick and convenient. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning, the bar area is gorgeous, the mural on the wall is beautiful, and they have a unique, creative drink menu that really stands out. We ordered several dishes, and the daal and chicken were definitely my top favorites. The paneer kulcha, however, didn't have much flavor for me and wasn't my favorite of the night. The gulab jamun cheesecake was unbelievably delicious... I just wish I had more room in my tummy to eat more of it! One of the highlights of the night was unexpectedly running into a few celebs who were also dining there it added such a fun surprise and totally topped my birthday. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners and their daughter, who personally came to our table. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely cared about our experience. Overall, the food is high quality, crafted by top-tier chefs, the drinks are unique, and the service and atmosphere are exceptional. I would most definitely come back. Highly recommend! read more

THE BEST ANNIVERSARY DINNER Second time here and everyone is so kind and checks up on you. Big fan of the drinks menu being inspired by bollywood films. Gave us free champagne (even had a non alcoholic version). I'm normally not a fan of tasting menus but it makes sense here bc everything is just that good and its a good value to try so much!!! Gulab jamun cheesecake hits as usual and big fan of the seabass and cauliflower 65. And had a perf view of the okc vs denver game. I also think the benefits charge for staff is cool to see read more

This restuarant is phenomenal top to bottom. Upon arriving the staff were warm and welcoming. Leading us to a gorgeous table, the waiter kindly gave us his recommendations on the menu. We decided to go with everything he said Lamb shank, Butter chicken and the Curry Shrimp. Everything was delicious but the lamb shank curry stood out. It was so tender and flavorful. The wait staff was truly phenomenal, taking extra effort to go above and beyond. I will 100% return and highly recommend to anyone who loves Indian fusion. read more

Had no idea this place was here, but very delighted to have found it! Parking is meh, but the food was delicious and the service was great! i don't remember the server's name, but she was a beautiful black woman who served us at the bar! Super friendly and helpful with recommendations! The ambiance is relaxing, with art throughout the interior. Our server recommended a beverage that blew my mind. Simple, yet delicious! I cannot find it anywhere on their online menu, but I'm attaching a photo. It was like some sort of yogurt-y, thick priobiotic kind of mango-ish drink. I can't describe it! Will definitely be returning for it! The kerala fried chicken was my absolute fav dish! Packed with so much flavor! I never really order chicken when I eat out, but this was a knockout! I also enjoyed the other chicken dish I got, but not as much as the fried chicken. The naan was also pretty good! Texture was on point! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! Was our first visit and it was delicious. We came on Valentines and it was filled up with lots of dates, we got the cocktail special and even went home with a Valentines note from the team which was a nice touch. The ambiance is like a palace with beautiful finishes, wallpaper, chandeliers, etc. but the food and service weren't overly fussy. Great cocktail menu with a Bollywood theme, excellent mains with show stopping presentation and a lot of flavor. Our server was attentive and kind. read more

Came for dinner last night and had a real lovely time! The restaurant is located off 9th and they have valet parking, though street parking is in the area too. The restaurant is really beautiful, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We sat at one of the wraparound booths in the bar area which was a classy vibe. Service was all super friendly, though it's always interesting to have non-Indians serving you at an Indian restaurant if they aren't super knowledgeable about the cuisine and culture. On the drinks side, we ordered a pomegranate mocktail and their take on the Tequila Sunrise (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge), and both were great. Neither were super sweet, and both were refreshing. On the food front, we did the tasting menu: Dahi Puri: Good but too much yogurt, it needed more of the masala Cauliflower 65: loved the presentation (looked like fried prawns) and taste, its spicy but super flavorful Duck Taco: this was also excellent, the consomé was delicious and was a great take on a birria taco Traditional Butter Chicken: pretty good, but I've had better. The flavor was a bit on the bland side, but the chicken was super tender Beef Short Ribs: this was a miss overall, the curry was very tasty but the beef wasn't tender, and the marrow wasn't all that flavorful. I'd avoid this dish. Sides: Garlic Naan was great, Saffron rice was fine (if you like saffron you'll enjoy it). Gulab Jamun Cheesecake: delicious! The ice cream it came with was super good too. Rasmalai Cassatta: delicious, a nice refreshing dessert that wasn't too heavy either. Overall, I was really happy with the meal with the exception of the Beef and a few critiques on other items. I'd say this place was closer to a 3.75/5, but will round up because of the vibes and unique experience. I definitely want to come back and try more dishes in the future, especially with a larger group. read more

Food was OK. They say it's a Michelin star chef but everything lacked seasoning. My girl is the curry fan, not me. The only highlight was the butter chicken. Which they should rename it because it's not fair for she sauce that is the highlight. Think of it as an orange mole. Delicious hence the 3 stars. The chutneys were OK, the mango one was my favorite. The assorted crackers that came with it were alright. For the amount of sauce that each food item has, the lack of amount of bread is insane. The food took forever!!! My girl and I were starving. Thankfully they gave us some free food but idk what that was it was alright. The naan bread came fast and from what it looked like, it was the owner maning down the restaurant because it wasn't busy at all! We will come again and try the other stuff because the service got better gradually. read more

Came here for dineLA. $55 for 4 course meal. 1 appetizer, 1 small bite, 1 large bite, and dessert. 10/10 for the course meal. It was interesting. Lots of choices and it was beautifully plated. The drink menu is so cool depicting movies through time as styles of drink. The decor feels English-Indian. Clean. I didn't love the food but it was definitely worth a try! A cute dinner date spot. I saw some commotion outside with a transient trying to come into the restaurant but they did not let him in. I'm glad it didn't escalate. read more

Recently happened upon Baar Baar after attending an art exhibit at the nearby Variety Arts Theater. Really enjoyed their Bollywood-themed cocktails. The Lagaan was my top favorite, a play on a gin sour. My partner's Munna Bhai, a whisky based drink, was also delicious. The multi course menu for $55 per person is a great way to try a variety of items. For mains to share, I opted for the kofta curry while my partner chose the fish. The fish was especially tender and flavorful. Though, we both could not help but keep going back for spoonfuls of curry, practically licking the dish clean. This is definitely a restaurant to enjoy in-person. The space and decor are chic yet comfortable; a great place for a special occasion, date night, or hang with friends. Service was all around attentive and friendly in which water was consistently topped off, staff checked in regularly, and we were never ignored or rushed. In a pocket of downtown LA that's been lacking nice restaurants that aren't overly casual and or commercialized, Baar Baar is a lowkey gem. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! Great modern vibe with Indian decor and open space. They had a special prix fixe deal when we went and really enjoyed all the dishes. The drinks here are pretty fun too and based on various Bollywood films. My favorite was the Lagaan that also came with a smoke-filled bubble. For food, I really enjoyed the Cauliflower and Butter Chicken. The dessert was really good too and would recommend the Mango Cassata. Overall, really enjoyable meal and good service too! read more

We came in for DineLA and really enjoyed the meal. I think they gave a decent amount of food for the price and it was a great way to try a little of everything. Their duck tacos are phenomenal and the chicken malai was perfectly cooked. We weren't super fond of the seabass but the butter chicken was good. It didn't taste the way I'm used to butter chicken, which makes me think twice if I've ever had authentic food. Our waiter was sweet and made great suggestions. The room is beautifully decorated but dim, so bring your own flashlight. I would come back but it's not an everyday/once a week type place for me. read more

We walked in excited about the menu, and got warmed up with delicious cocktails, but then were super disappointed by the food. The sauces were tasty, but cold. And there were maybe 3-5 pieces of protein in each of the meals (shrimp curry and butter chicken). Maybe it was an off night for the kitchen. I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Wow! This place is fantastic. They prepared a special menu for our group and hosted us in a lovely private room. Servers were friendly and efficient. The cocktail menu has classics with a modern Indian twist. The menu had plenty of veg friendly dishes and they were gracious in accommodating allergies.

We didn't feel like cooking a few Saturday's back so we headed out to stop at a random restaurant that we walked by and we just so happened to walk by Baar Baar. This place was way nicer than I was expecting when we saw it across the street, but this place is absolutely beautiful inside. When you walk in you are greeted at the front door before going into this massive place with a ton of different tables, booths, and a large bar as well. The menu here has a lot of different appetizers, entrees, and desserts but I'm a simple man who knew what he wanted right away. We ended up splitting some rice and naan, and I also ordered whatever the fried chicken like dish was that came with a delicious sauce. What was the name you ask? I honestly have no clue because as I sit and look at the menu, I straight up don't see it on the menu. Either way, this chicken had incredible flavour, was super juicy, and the sauce that was on the plate for dipping was really freaking good too. I took full advantage of the naan as well soaking up the rest of the sauce and it was went very nicely together. Overall, Baar Baar wasn't what I expected, but I certainly left satisfied with the experience. The service here was super friendly, the food was very good, and the place itself was beautiful. This place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Charming ambiance for dates or a cute night on the town! Service began with warm and welcoming staff, but pacing between courses was painfully slow. We had to stay 1.5 hours for 5 courses. Dinner lacked the rich, vibrant flavors expected of Indian cuisine. Plating looked pretty, but food was underwhelming, bland, and expensive for small portions. Dahi Puri: Fluffy and sour mousse with hints of sweet and fruity notes. Savory base. Not bad, but not great. Kerala Duck (Birria) Taco: Tender duck. Lightly seasoned consommé. Nothing spectacular. Chicken Malai Tikka: Tender chicken smothered in a cheesy sauce. Not flavorful. Traditional Butter Chicken: Very sweet curry. Seabass Pollichathu: Not completely descaled. Having to pick out fish scales from my mouth made the dish a nuisance to eat. Lacked seasoning. Traditional Black Dairy Dal: Yummy, but oversalted. Gulab Juman Cheesecake: Mid cheesecake; nothing tasted remotely reminiscent of gulab juman. Decent saffron pistachio ice cream. Rasmalai Cassata: Could not taste rose. We left dinner feeling bored and hungry. Dining here was not worth the trek through LA traffic. read more

As someone who is Desi and grew up on Bollywood, I almost cried when I saw the drink menu here. Multiple cocktails inspired by Bollywood films -- it felt like nostalgia and creativity in a glass. Absolutely brilliant and such a special touch that made the night feel personal. I ordered the butter chicken since it came highly recommended, but I have to be honest, for me it lacked the seasoning and depth I was expecting. That said, the appetizer and dessert we tried? Holy heck, WOW. Bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and unforgettable. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Every single person we interacted with was warm, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of.

Came here for Christmas with my family as part of our tradition of trying new restaurants instead of doing the usual pre-fixe holiday dinners. We love Indian food, so we were excited to try a more elevated take. This was our first time at Baar Baar, and I have to say the decor is beautiful. The attention to detail in the space is really nice and sets the tone for a great dining experience. One of my favorite parts was the cocktail menu themed around Bollywood classics and modern films. Super cute concept. That said, the drinks were a bit of a letdown. We tried the Hera Pheri, RRR, and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. While the ideas were fun, the execution missed the mark for us. The drinks were either too sweet or too sour, and the balance just wasn't there. We love trying creative cocktails, but these didn't quite land, and it took us a while to finish them. Thankfully, the food saved the experience. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was solid. Nothing necessarily blew us away, but everything was good and enjoyable overall. All in all, it was a nice experience with great ambiance and decent food. I'd definitely come back for the food and atmosphere, but I'd probably skip the cocktails next time. read more
