We are visiting from Toronto, Canada in LA celebrating my sister in law's birthday and picked Baar Baar as she had been raving about its food and cocktails. Elegant, chic , contemporary, Indian cuisine in one of the most upscale presentations I have seen in restaurants. The menu is a masterful mix of fusion as well as original dishes. Their cocktail collection is quite unique put forth in a playful menu with Bollywood movie names !! We ordered several cocktails - Sholey, Dilwale Dulhania le Jayenge, Mera Naam Joker . All were delicious and with the right amount of alcohol. Food was ordered for all to share - Appetizers Cauliflower 65, Avocado Bhel, Lamb chop Burrah kebab, Mains - Butter chicken, Daal Makhani, Lamb Shank Roast, Butter Naans and Jalapeño cheese Naan. Each dish was excellently prepared, presented beautifully and tasted delectable. We ended the meal with all 3 types of desserts !!! Service was excellent, staff were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and had great suggestions regarding the food and wine pairings. read more

Fancy Indian food. Yes! This is my second time here and it still didn't disappoint. The owner is low key super cool and the food is pretty good. Definitely not the run of the mill Indian buffet type of food, which is what I'm mostly use to eating Indian food for lunch. Very inventive and unique, even for my Indian foodie friends who came with me. I do love the Lamb and the butter chicken. I do really like the Lagaan (a kale like drink but tastes so much better than it reads). Healthy alcoholic drink? Who can say no to that? Plus it's IG picture worthy. Take a gander yourself. Give it a try but expect something different than the run of the mill Indian food joint. read more

Excellent food. The lady in the front was not a gracious greeter. The waiter was polite. Also it took a while for the main course to come. Lovely ambiance. All in all a good experience read more

Date nights are wonderful, especially when you have a great dining experience and get to be with someone that you love to be around and enjoy the overall evening. 12 March 2024 around 18:00 was our time. When we first arrived the restaurant was a place of class, and elegance. The seating was nicely spaced out which was nice to not be crowded like some of these places. The dish wear was nice and we had water a few moments after we sat down. Tim was the waiter, very cheerful and pleasant attitude, was really good at helping navigate through the menu of food and drink. The appetizer we had was the Japanese eggplant, wanted to try something different and it was amazing, loved the pomegranate that was in there. We also ordered some oysters that were fresh and everything you expect from a place that looked like it did. We both ordered a cocktail and then beer. My love ordered a Sholay which mimic a island drink and I had the Lagaan which was a vacay drink but I love egg white so I loved it. We ordered buttery chicken, nan bread with rice, and actually ordered extra rice afterwards. The environment, the food and drink...you cannot go wrong here and we don't eat Indian food often but... It left me in awwwe! I would love to go back, and recommend to all! read more

I came here for Bollywood brunch a couple weeks ago and it did not disappoint! The dj was incredibleeee and it was truly a party. The service was also amazing. Waiter was on point and super friendly. The decor was also great! Beautiful indian vibes and the menu with Bollywood movies for drinks was super cute. Food was unfortunately not as good as expected. We ordered a few things. The chicken tikka masala was great! I really enjoyed it! Probably best thing we ordered. The jalapeño cheese naan was also really good! Simple but delicious. The fish and chips was really not good though. It was a basic fried fish with like a mustard sauce on the side. Really whatever and didn't give me Indian flavors. Also the chips were actual American chips. I was expecting fries bc fish and chips usually means fries but no. The shrimp and grits were also basic. The shrimp was good but the grits were lacking flavor and it just wasn't as great as expected. Much more grits than shrimp too. Finally, we ordered the masala fries which were a major letdown. I expected so much more but it was just regular fries with some spices sprinkled on top. Overall, I'd be back for the Bollywood brunch vibes itself. But I'd probably just order a couple of appetizers and chai as the food was whatever. I don't drink alcohol myself but was told by friends that the drinks were great however! read more

3.5 star. Food was overall good. My fav was avocado bhel and desert. Cauliflower 65 - good Paneer pinwheel / the gravy is good but the pinwheel itself is ok. Kofta - not good, don't order Dahi puri - ok Gulab jamun cheesecake - good Mango cassata - ok Go for the experience and a master chef type food. Different from normal but a great experience overall. Fine dine! read more

The food was objectively good, but very overpriced for what it was in my opinion. The entrees don't come with rice or Naan, so you have to order that for an additional $6 on the side. We were charged an automatic 20% gratuity even though we were only a party of 5, and there was also an additional 4% "health and benefits" charge on our bill in addition to the tax + tip (what in the world!). I normally tip generously but thought it made no sense for them to charge us 20% automatically without giving us an option. I will say that the ambiance is one thing it has going for it, but I left the restaurant hungry and pretty ripped off. Also there is no parking designated for the restaurant so good luck finding parking in LA! read more

Was pleasantly surprised with this entire experience. Lovely ambiance and creative drink menus based on old Indian movies. Forewarning, the dishes are small portions, so keep that in mind when ordering. Not really a "family style" type dining. We had 4 people and the paneer only fed us 1 bite per person, so keep that in mind for example. Also, a bit pricier for the volume you'll receive. Otherwise, flavorful food that is truly a fine dining experience. Ordered multiple dishes and everything was so great - my entire family enjoyed this! read more

What an adventure this meal was! Truly an enjoyable and delicious journey from start to end. From the moment you step into the restaurant, the beautiful decor sets the scene for an elevated Indian experience. Service was impeccable and our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and on top of it, even with our large party! Favorites: + innovative cocktails + butter chicken (super creamy, but not spicy at all) + seafood special Everything was super tasty and I'm looking forward to trying more dishes in the future! read more

I came back a second time to try other dishes. The sea bass I thought was cooked well and was soft throughout however I wasn't a fan of the minty sauce because it was too bitter for me. I was really excited to try the lamb shank however it was dry and a little overcooked. The sauce was excellent though. I did get some to go items after dinner. The paneer wheel was very interesting, a unique creation, which looked beautiful and tasted good. The sauce was also very thick and creamy, full of delicious flavours. The duck birria was also yummy plus the consommé was packed with juicy fat flavours. I did wish there was more taco. The shrimp ghee was one of my favourites there. The bread is soft but the stand out was the pasty, oily, dry red curry sauce that was all over the shrimp. The dry red curry paste reminded me of Burmese curries I grew up eating. The shrimp was also well cooked. For the price though, I wished there would be more than 2 pieces of shrimp. The jalapeño naan was so soft and fluffy, I really enjoyed that too. Overall, not my favourite dishes at dinner service there but the things I got to go were great. I did come back again a third time for my birthday. They had the tasting menu which is what we got, pretty much the same as the Dine LA menu but instead, you get all the sides instead of just choosing one. I ordered mostly the usual dishes that I get here which I already knew were excellent such as the butter chicken, braised short rib, lamb keema, sweet potato chat etc. The sides we got were saffron rice, garlic naan and some bean dip. I'm not a fan of beans but this was so creamy, thick and smooth with the right amount of spices and flavours. It worked well with the garlic naan. The desserts were also good as usual though preferred the brownie over the panna cotta. This place is still one of my favourite Indian restaurants in LA and there are still more items on the menu I want to try and perhaps I will give the other dishes that were lacking another try again. read more

Tonight was my birthday dinner. I was nervous because it was my first time here and i read some reviews that left me concerned. But tonight was perfect. Perhaps a gift from God. I got there first so i sat at the bar and had the most delicious drink "Sholay." I spoke with a nice girl, total stranger, until my friends came. When my friends arrived they gave us the perfect sized booth. Thats when i really got a look around. This place is gorgeous. The service was excellent, The food was delicious. We ordered the cauliflower small plate, the sweet potato small plate, the chicken tikka small plate, the eggplant with yogurt on the side not on-top for me. The shrimp small plate so good we ordered 2 more. Its spicy which i prefer. The naan was so good, the butter chicken was good. Someone ordered a braised meat it was delicious, i think it was beef but i cant remember. And the sea bass. I loved it all. For dessert we had a chocolate brownie and the mango dessert, both were great. Perfect portions for me. I cant do huge portions so in my opinion the amount of food was perfect. Valet was easy its like 500 feet before the restaurant. Also Sam a nice girl took the best photos of us and even moved around for us. The manager Autumn was lovely; such a beautiful soul. The girls that greeted me when i first walked in were so welcoming and sweet. I truly loved the bartender as well. He looked really cool and made a perfect drink. The security guard saw me looking for the entrance and he helped me; most people will just watch you struggle. I appreciated his effort to help me. My birthday was really special. I really appreciate Baar Baar. The entire staff. I wish i remembered every name. I really needed a good night. Im very grateful. read more

We came here for dinner after a conference at the LA Convention Center, as a party of three. The reservation was made pretty last minute, but since it was a weekday, we had no problem getting a table. We decided to go with the prix fixe menu. Note that everyone at the table has to choose either the prix fixe or the à la carte menu--you can't mix and match, which I initially found a bit inconvenient since I wasn't very hungry and had planned on just a couple of small appetizers. However, in the end, I was glad we opted for the prix fixe menu. We shared a variety of vegetarian and meat dishes, and the portions were perfect for sharing. The menu offers a lot of vegan and vegetarian options, so guests with dietary restrictions will definitely find plenty of choices. The presentation, textures, and flavors were outstanding across the board. The highlight of the evening was the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake with mascarpone, caramel sauce, and saffron pistachio ice cream--it was absolutely out of this world! I'd come back for that dessert alone. The ambiance was perfect, with comfortable seating, and it was a huge plus that the restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel and the Convention Center. Highly recommend! read more

Beautiful venue at the old Faith and Flower restaurant. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the aroma of the spices. We went there as a party of 4 and ordered a bunch of plates to share. They all come in very small portions. (We ordered the shrimp dish for $18 as an appetizer, it came w 2 pieces), the butter chicken came with about 8 PCs of chicken.) but everything that we ordered was really good. Service was ok. Definitely a place to experience for a GNO but was it worth $300 for Indian food for a table of 4? ‍‍‍ read more

Baar Baar was my first foray into upscale Indian cuisine and it did not disappoint. I left very impressed with most of the dishes I tasted. Parking here in DTLA is always a nightmare, but there are some nearby lots. There's also a valet service for those that opt for that route. Of the dishes we ordered, I wanted to highlight the Dahi Puri, the Cauliflower 65, the Baar Baar Butter Chicken, and the Paneer Pinwheel. I really liked the simplicity of the Dahi Puri, it was light and airy, but it packed a powerful flavor on the inside. Probably my favorite dish of the night. Our server did give us a heads up that the Baar Baar Butter Chicken and the Panner Pinwheel had a similar sauce, with one being spicier (the butter chicken) and one being sweeter. We opted to still order both, but I'm grateful that our server was looking out for us in this manner. Overall, I think Baar Baar was a really eye-opening dive into the world of Indian fine-dining. I appreciate how they aren't afraid of being modern while also honoring authenticity. I definitely look forward to coming back. read more

A beautiful and delicious dining experience! Baar Baar has a unique spin on Indian foods with both familiar favorite and new ingredients. We tried their restaurant week menu and were able to sample a wide variety of dishes! The servers were super knowledgeable and helped us figure out how to order and not double up on flavors. Favorites included the dahi puri, paneer pinwheels, and corn kofta. Dessert was incredible - definitely don't leave without trying the mango ghewar! read more

The food is absolutely delicious and not your stock standard Indian fare- they have elevated each dish and given it a level of finesse, which to a certain extent justifies the higher price tag :). The service could not be more personable and attentive- really good. Although they do ask for the whole order upfront so they can stage the experience- sounds great- but I was wondering what happens if we want more food? The only reason they lost a star IMO is because of the atmosphere- place is lovely, nice seating etc. but the music was so loud and the noise level was so high that even with the conversation we had in our booth with four people, I came back with a sore throat and every few minutes someone would ask the other person to repeat themselves. read more

Indian is so hit or miss in LA, so didn't have huge expectations from this place but I was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps because this is a transplant restaurant concept from NYC. Nonetheless, had a great time here. All the dishes were great tasting, I especially loved the shrimp and cauliflower dishes. Butter chicken was well done too. I would say the drinks and desserts were the weakest for me. Way too sweet and textures were very plain. read more

I love Indian food and I've never had a more upscale version of it so I was very interested to try this place. My friends and I came for Sunday brunch at noon and it wasn't busy at all. It's a nice looking restaurant inside, felt very modern and spacious. Staff were all very nice and prompt with assistance. We ordered a few things to share family style. FYI for brunch at least, there's a $35 minimum spend per person. We started off with a pitcher of the spicy margarita. I'm not really a cocktail person so I won't review the taste but I will say I enjoyed how I felt after drinking it. Food we got: Pani puri: so good, comes with small thing of passion fruit water you pour in yourself and they were just bursting with flavor. I thought the self pour juice was a nice touch so the puri didn't get soggy. These were perfect and I could eat several plates of these on my own. Avocado and green chickpea bhel: our server recommended this one. I really enjoyed this, very fresh tasting and a nice contrast to all the creamy buttery entrees we got. Chicken tikka masala and paneer pasinda: we got these with a few orders of garlic naan for the sides. These dishes both came with the same buttery creamy tomato based sauce. The sauce was rich, creamy, buttery, tangy, and was just perfect to dip the crispy and pillowy naan in. That said, there were only 3 small pieces of chicken with the tikka masala (albeit very tasty small pieces). I sadly found the paneer pasinda pretty disappointing. The outside was dry and tough and it totally overshadowed the paneer. The only thing I liked about it was the sauce. Overall thoughts: Most of the food was good but it was a bit pricey for the amount we got. Personally, I don't mind paying extra for quality if I get a lot of enjoyment out of it but in this case, the price scaled a lot more than my enjoyment did. Like if I'm paying twice the amount, I should get at least twice the enjoyment right? I didn't feel like I got that here. I definitely don't regret coming, I do think it's a place worth trying. I just don't see myself coming back often read more

We were looking for a place to eat dinner before a concert at the Ace Hotel. Found this on Yelp and had a great dining experience! Beautiful decor. Definitely more upscale/pricey Indian. Here's what we had from my most to least fav: 1. Duck taco - really good, they give you the duck juice to dip in 2. Lamb chop burrah kebab - soo good and tender 3. Dahi puri - good, a bit spicy 4. Butter Chicken - strong cardamon(?) flavor 5. Chicken Malai tikka - not enough flavor We also got garlic naan and the chutney set which were both good. I got a mango lassi which was ok but pricey for $12! I wouldn't get the butter chicken or chicken tikka again. I would try more of the small plates or some of the vegetarian dishes. The taco and lamb chops were amazing and I would come back just for those! Bill for 2 of us was $200 before tip. FYI they include a 4% health benefits charge, which I'm ok w in theory but seems like something they should just build into their prices? Overall, I'd come again if looking to splurge on a nice Indian food meal! read more

My new favorite restaurant in LA. Unlike London and New York, Los Angeles does not have any innovative, Michelin-level Indian restaurants. Baar Baar, however, breaks this idea, bringing their Michelin Guide NYC restaurant to LA. The NYC location was on my New York bucket list, but I did not have the opportunity to try. Alas, I got to dine at the LA location, and I am beyond pleased. Located in DTLA, there is valet parking, so no issue with self-parking. Entering Baar Baar, I was greeted by an upscale ambiance and aesthetic. For drinks, my parents ordered the Munna Bhai MBBS, and I ordered the Lagaan. I really adored how the cocktail menu was themed around Bollywood movies, making it very memorable. For my cocktail, they used a bubble gun to place a bubble on top, which was very fun and Instagrammable! I enjoyed my cocktail a lot, it's very melon-y, and the kale is not too overpowering. Reminded me of a tasty pressed juice, lol. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with the cocktails because they all sounded great, and I really could not decide. For starters, we ordered the Dahi Puri, Sweet Potato Chat, and the Kerala Fried Chicken. I absolutely loved the Dahi Puri, the raspberry flavor really stuck out to me. The Sweet Potato Chat was ok, not bad at all, but I wouldn't care to order it again. The Kerala Fried Chicken was delicious, juicy, and flavorful with a lovely chili aioli sauce to pair. For the mains, we ordered the Jackfruit Dum Biryani, Paneer Pinwheel, and Chicken Chettinad with Garlic Naan on the side. And let me just say... holy sh*t. I first delved into the chicken, and it was insane. I'm salivating just thinking about it. The chicken is tender and melts in your mouth, and it is so flavorful. Absolute perfection. The paneer was also incredible. Loved the presentation, and the sauce is very similar (the same, perhaps?) to butter chicken - creamy and tomato-y. And I loved the combination of the paneer with pistachios. Finally, the biryani was solid! Met the standards of good biryani, and I loved the roti top. It definitely mixed well with our curries. For desserts, we had the Carrot Halwa Opera, which was served as a cake, and it was fine. Not particularly amazing, but whatever. Additionally, the restaurant owner sent an extra dessert since my dad and the owner have a mutual friend (and full disclaimer, this did not influence my review at all). This was very kind of him, truly exemplifying Indian hospitality. And I'm unsure what this dessert was called, but it was very lovely! A creamy custard on the bottom, crunchy and sweet cracker in the middle, and ice cream on top. All in all, my parents and I left very full and satisfied, and I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for bringing NYC to LA! read more

At Baar Baar the innovative and modern twist on Indian cuisine sets it apart from the crowd. With each dish, you're transported on a culinary journey that showcases the artistry and passion of the chefs. In a city known for its diverse culinary offerings, it has managed to carve out its own niche by seamlessly blending traditional Indian spices with contemporary techniques, resulting in flavors that are both enticingly familiar and delightfully unexpected. I would list out what my favorite dishes were, but I would end up listing everything I ate! Being the new kid on the block can be daunting, but they sure do rise up to the occasion with finesse. The dedicated team, led by Manager Wilfredo, brings an infectious energy and genuine warmth to every interaction. Their commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of the dining experience, ensuring that guests feel welcomed and valued from the moment they step through the door. As a new establishment, it has already made a name for itself. The flavors, presentation, and attention to detail make it a worthy contender among LA's culinary heavyweights. With each visit, you can witness the dedication and passion that the team pours into every dish, striving to create an unforgettable experience for their guests. While my dining experience was truly exceptional, I would like to offer a small suggestion for improvement. The only aspect that left me wanting a bit more was the size of the naan servings. Although the flavors were fantastic, I found the portion size to be slightly smaller than what I expected. It could be my Mexican background and naturally thinking of naan as a tortilla. This does not detract from my overall experience! In conclusion, whether you're a seasoned foodie or a curious diner looking for something new, Baar Baar is an absolute must-visit that will leave you craving more. Cheers to the entire team, specially Wilfredo and Javier (our waiter), for bringing a breath of fresh air to the city's dining scene. I can't wait to see what else they have cooking in the background Congrats and welcome to LA. Albert. @bruinucla read more

First things first. For an Indian restaurant- really beautiful and elegant inside. Staff and service is top notch. We tried many dishes. Very unique and creative spins on Indian dishes, along with a few standards. Everything was plated immaculately. The highlights of the night were definitely the apps and the desserts (not pictured). Most of the dishes were good, but lacked salt, acidity and spice - so they fell flat. It tasted like toned down Indian food geared towards a non Indian audience. My fave dish of the night - the avocado bhel. And the dish I just couldn't stand - the mushroom fry. Portion to price wasn't there either. A short rib dish for $38, where you get two tablespoons size pieces of beef? Two lamb chops for $28? A single naan for $6? This was definitely a one off. Instead of baar baar, I think I'm good with aik baar. read more

The service is pretty good, the vibe and food have much to be desired. Although better than other indian restaurants in the area, the food in general is pretty mid. We went here for Brunch and got the Pani Puri, Pav Bhaji with Masala Fries and Vada Pav. The vada pav was the best part of the meal. The Pav Bhaji was good enough but the portion of the pav was ridiculously small considering this was labeled was a large plate. The masala fries had literally no flavor which was odd. The Pani Puri was the worst out of the 3 meals, being just sweet although it had chili on the ingredient list. We got the Spicy Guava and Watermelon margaritas off the brunch menu which were both pretty terrible. They also automatically charge 24% gratuity + fees just fyi. Overall, super overpriced for the quality and experience. read more

Great ambience, food and service. Would highly recommend this place! Will revisit soon.

I am Indian and very well acquainted with Indian food from India and Malaysia. A much needed addition to the underwhelming Indian food scene in LA. Ambience: Baar Baar is a classy indian restaurant without the usual dark interior and smell of Indian food in your hair once you leave (you all know what I mean ) The interior is beautifully decorated. Though I did think the main restaurant was very loud. We were seated in the second inner part of the restaurant which was less loud. Im thinking it was because there were less tables there. Parking: valet for $15 plus tip or just down the same street less than 50 feet away $10 for the parking lot. Service: very attentive and friendly from bar staff, front hostess stand and table service. The manager came to tell us that that they overcooked the fish we ordered and they were making another one thus the delay. I really appreciate that rather than us wondering what's taking so long. Cocktails: the cocktails here are phenomenal. The ingredients are not what you usually find in most cocktails. The menu is super cute with names of popular Hindi movies. Though I have to say it's not very strong. I'm a lightweight and Usually after 3 cocktails I'm done for and I wasn't after these. I loved the Hare pere. little spice to it. I also ordered the Lagaan a little apprehensive because I don't love honeydew melon. But the melon taste was not overpowering at all. And they do a little table trick with the bubble thingy on it which I think is so cute. My party loved the slumdog millionaire, the mere naam joker (with ghee based bourbon) I tasted some of their Dilwali dulhania and the RRR and I wasn't a fan. Food: plating was excellent. Of the small plates we got, cauliflower 65- very good 5/5 Pork belly- (2 pcs) this was just ok. 2/5 Shrimp on ghee toast (2 pcs) also just ok. 3/5 Lamb kheema- loved this. 5/5 The Phav bread that it comes with wasn't the exact bread that I'm used to in phav baji but it still tastes good. Large plates: Fish- sea bass in banana leaf with a mustard sauce I think. So delicate and delicious. 5/5 Butter chicken - also quite excellent 5/5. Curry was very good so make sure you get enough naan or rice to sop it up. We ordered Garlic naan and saffron rice to go with it. These were pretty basic. Dessert: we ordered only one the mango Ghewar. Omg. So different and yummy. Highly recommend this read more

Came here on a Friday night with friends and I can't say enough great things about all the food! Particular highlights were the Homemade Crisp starter with the chutney set which were addictive and the perfect starter to our meal and the Paneer Pinwheels-just so delicious! I also need to rave about Rafael who gave us such personal attention and made sure that our drinks complemented our meal choices perfectly. And the decor is stunning-beautiful lighting and a sublime mural on the wall that provided a lovely backdrop for a perfect meal with friends. Quick bit of advice-take advantage of the valet parking. This is downtown LA after all and it can be tricky to find parking otherwise. read more

Went to LA for a quick weekend trip. The concierge at our hotel suggested this restaurant. Drinks are named after well known Indian film stars. There's a fun menu they provide to show the film and drink. Foods are shareable bites so there's a lot you can try. Beautiful presentation of plates. Chef has them sent out as soon as they're ready which is nice for good pacing. Not a typical Indian menu Desserts are beautiful and use Indian flavors in cheesecake and ice cream. read more
