Inside
Tari O.

Great fast casual and affordable option in PCM. I tried the Indian restaurant for lunch, and I'll definitely be back! You can dine in, order to go, or order takeout here. Everything from bowls, to salads, to apps, sides and skewers. I tried the salad with the spicier chicken and it was very filling. The dressing was delicious. Also nice to have a lunch option under $20.

Lamb Seekh Kabab Roll Maharaja Lamb Burger Mango Lassi
Jenny Marie P.

I really enjoyed the lamb burger and lamb roll. Their mango lassi is also very refreshing and great - not too sweet meaning they didn't add much sugar which other places do. That's the reason why I avoid ordering mango lassi but for some reason I took a chance and didn't regret it at all. I would definitely recommend this place when you are in Ponce City Market. Ambiance is great, food is affordable!

I had the lamb Seekh kebab roll from Botiwalla and I quite enjoyed it! I definitely liked how the lamb tasted. Initially, I thought the roll was pricey for $16, but after eating it, it wasn't as small as it originally looked.

Desi Salad- Paneer Tikka
Carlie M.

Came here for dinner a couple weeks ago. We ordered takeout. We got the chicken tikka roll and the desi salad with paneer. Both so flavorful! Great option to try when in ponce.

Masala Smashed Potatoes
Ramya R.

AMAZING! That's how I would describe the food we had at this restaurant in Ponce City Market. We ordered: -Masala Smashed Potatoes - Delicious, soft inside with crisp skin, and seasoned perfectly. -Paneer Tikka Roll - Great flavor, the paneer was soft, the vegetables were grilled well, the wrap was light, and everything came together beautifully. -Chicken Tikka Roll - Flavorful, juicy chicken grilled to perfection. The food is freshly grilled and made to order. The ambience is great, and the service was quick. Portions are filling, and the prices are very reasonable.

This has easily become one of my favorite spots! While my niece was visiting we stopped by Ponce City Market. When she saw that we had a Botiwalla she was immediately sold on eating here! I am so glad she suggested this spot! Home for her is Charlotte, NC and she mentioned they have a location there! How it works? You order your food at the entrance of the restaurant! Warning- they often have a line - yes it's that good !! After placing your order you are either given a number to place on your table if dining in, or just verbally given a number to wait on your to go order. I have been here at least 4 times within the last 2 months! The Crispy Masala Fish Roll is what keeps me coming back! The description from the website is as follows: Crispy wild caught Alaskan cod seasoned with cumin, lime, chilli powder, ginger, garlic. Wrapped in hot buttered naan with Desi slaw, onion, cilantro, green chutney & Maggi ketchup. (fish, milk, eggs, sesame, wheat)!! It always leaves me wanting more ! I have also tired the chai tea and cookies - I appreciate that the taste is light on both the tea and cookies. Other items I have tried are the Masala Smashed Potatoes and the veggie skewer. There is also another potato appetizer that I can't recall the name of. Everything I have tried has been a love for me ! In addition to great tasting food, the service has always been good ! This place is just a vibe and I highly recommend checking it out !

Lamb burger (4.25/5)
Ryan S.

I got the lamb burgers, which were pretty good (4.25/5) but on the smaller side, but they were still a reasonable value for $14, especially compared to some of the other places in Ponce market. The service was relatively fast (10-15 minutes), despite it being pretty busy.

Chai
Prathima V.

I am from out of town and had never eaten at Botiwalla. I took a friend who wanted to have Indian food. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Wrap and chai! We both loved the wrap - it was tasty and a smidge spicy! Just enough without being overpowering. The chutney in it was delish! We finished it off with chai and Parle G biscuits. I'm a chai connoisseur so I was hoping that it was gonna be the real deal and it was! Milky and loved the cardamom flavor. I would totally go again when I come back to ATL.

Chicken wings
Savsri A.

Delicious Indian Flavors at Ponce City Market! I tried this restaurant for the first time, and I'm absolutely in love with the flavors! The food was incredibly delicious--definitely a must-try for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine in Ponce City Market, Atlanta. Although the line was quite long, it was completely worth the wait. The food had the perfect consistency and texture, and the flavors were spot on. I had the paneer tikka Roll, and it truly transported me back to India--so authentic and satisfying! My husband and daughter really enjoyed the chicken wings and the chicken tikka masala roll. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Looking forward to coming back and trying even more dishes next time I'm in town.

Malai Chicken Skewer and Naan
Beatrice M.

Quite a solid place for an Indian place. We took the #2 bus from the North Ave Train Station and walk a block. We tried the Malai Chicken, roti and the rice bowl. The cilantro chutney hit the spot. It was order on the spot, get your own water and bus your own trash. It's a great quick bite at the Ponce City Market. Love all the different decor from each vendor. A great experience in Atlanta!

SPDP
Timothy L.

In a city with so much good food, this was my favorite food spot we tried! My friends and I shared the SPDP and the flavor was very addictive. I also got the lamb seekh kebab roll which was really good as well! It goes so well with the rata that they give you. I spilled the raita on myself on accident but they gave me another one for free. The art logo for this place is also super cool too I love it. Also don't forget the mango lassi!

naan and lamb!
Tifanny B.

I was walking up & down Ponce City Market trying to decide what to get to eat and I am glad I landed on some Indian Food from Botiwalla. The lamb, naan and mango lassi did it for me. The staff was friendly and inviting. The people eating within the restaurant were sociable. Eating at Botiwalla felt warm both physically & emotionally!

Rice Bowl- Chicken Tikka
Jenna D.

Extremely average experience here today. Service was incredibly slow, probably a 25 minute line for 6 people?! The line was out the door and kept building. My family had finished their meals from other vendors by the time I brought mine to the table. Had the new Chicken Tikka Rice Bowl. It was fine, but don't expect it to taste of anything more than plain chicken on basmati rice. No sauce or flavor to the chicken, but at least it was cooked well. Super disappointed because Chai Pani is one of my favorites in the area, but won't return here.

TLDR: chicken tikka masala was delicious, chicken tender…read more I've gotten takeout from this place several times and always thought it was just good. But this past time I got takeout, the chicken tikka masala really blew me away. The flavor was very rich and well developed, without just a surface level flavor of tomato. Each bite of chicken was also very tender. To be fair I haven't had Indian food in a while and was really craving it but I was pleasantly surprised. Garlic naan could've been a bit more garlicky but was very good texturally, nice and chewy. The parking garage entrance is right next door (to the right of the restaurant) and you can get validated inside. If you're getting takeout, they text you a link you have to prepay through before they start preparing the food which is a bit annoying, but I get it.

I went all the way from Marietta to Midtown to experience Tabla first hand as I had heard about it…read moremultiple times. This is the summary of my experience there: 1) Ambiance 3/5: The place from outside looks contemporary and chic. The bar looks inviting but as you enter the dining area, the place is dated. The decor looks shabby and I feel they should renovate for they have a reputation to maintain 2) Service 3/5: This was a hit and a miss for me. Though they are gracious enough to validate your parking, the service was at times good but at times slow and bad. One person was good at suggestions but the other person was really lazy. I went their for my birthday but they took about 10 minutes to get me a candle which was disappointing to say the least. 3) Food 4/5: This is where they excel. Although everything was pricey. The taste made up for it. We had: a) kaala khatta : This is basically shikanji but was refreshing b) mango chili mojito: My wife loved it. It tasted like you were eating raw mango with salt and chili powder. c) palak patta chaat - it was crispy and flavorful d) Chicken curry: Loved the taste. The accompanying rice was so less that it looked like a joke e) Chur chur naan and garlic naan: Pricey and ok f) Carrot halwa with ice cream: The combination was good but carrot halwa in general was ok. Tasted like the heated store bought frozen halwa 4) Value for money 3/5: Really pricey. The taste was look but for the amount, everything was pricey I would only return if I a really craving for Indian food with nothing in the vicinity and someone else is paying. The good: 1) Food and flavor Not so Good: 1) Decor 2) Prices 3) Service

Hooray! A genuinely refreshing addition to our West Midtown rotation is here - and it's de-licious!…read more We planned our visit to give time for any opening friction points to smooth out, because we wanted to love this place right from the start. An Indian fusion tasting menu? Yes please! I'm glad we did, because our overall experience was really good. Firstly, in addition to the tasting menu, they have a great range of dishes and some happy hour specials too. The only less-than-awesome moment was our arrival. We were first in line at the host stand, at the very beginning of dinner service, with a reservation. However, we had to wait as a group behind us was welcomed and seated. The host was the only person all evening who wasn't warm or welcoming - it was a chilly arrival experience, with parking validation friction and would have put me off from the start if the servers hadn't saved it from there on out. We were seated close to the pass, which was a fun spot to watch both the kitchen and front of house teams at work, as well as a comfy booth from which to observe the rest of the space (including snooping at other diners' plates - for inspiration, of course). The server seemed surprised that we (as first-timers) went straight to the tasting menu, but quickly got organized and the drinks were with us within a few minutes. She was very present, explained everything really well, and handled my weird ingredient questions and preferences super well. The food was ahmahzing. 13 dishes in just over an hour - phew. Favorites and standouts included: - Green Papaya Salad: fresh, tangy and crunchy - Crispy Broccoli: vegetables never tasted this good. - Potato Dosa: too filling for a tasting menu, but the second-best bite on the menu - Dal Makhni: black lentils, creamy-dreamy and the best dish of the night. - Turmeric Fish: no idea what fish it was, but it was shockingly good. - Sticky Date Cake: yes, this is the British-originated sticky toffee pudding of my dreams, and beats anything I've had in the UK. Huge compliments to our server (Brett - she was amazing), the kitchen and to the management, who were very present all evening, checking in with subtlety and never overdoing it. I'm going to have to wait a few weeks to stop feeling so full, then I'll be back for a tour of the rest of the menu. I can't wait to bring out of town visitors; Ghee has brought West Midtown the type of southern-hospitality-meets-global-cuisine moments I have been hoping for. Welcome to Atlanta, team Ghee!

Sorry to say this restaurant did not live up to the hype and somehow cannot believe this is…read moreMichelin recommended. I do not think the chef is eating his / her own food in a nutshell. The food is not just not worth the money but is plain bad. Duck biryani - claimed to one of the signature dishes was just clumped rice with some seasoning under duck meat. Do not understand how this is biryani even if this is a fusion restaurant Smoked goat neck - the meat was cooked well but served with a gravy of black chick peas and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. It tasted exactly how it sounds. Very disconnected tastes that did not combine well Panipuri - How panipuri can be disappointing is actually surprising. This simple recipe seems to be messed with in the name of fusion. Mushroom momos - this was the one saving grace of this very expensive dinner. The sauce was simply amazing and I wish we could order it again. Overall the restaurant has a good vibe and service is decent. The food though was a very big let down.

(2) they give you a detailed description about whats in the dish and which Indian cuisine (east / west, etc). I love Indian food but I still can't remember what sauce is which. I appreciate the details. For the vegans & vegetarians - what keeps me returning is the tofu entrees. Yeah most Indian restaurants have vegetarian menu items - duh! But most do not also offer tofu on the menu! So when you want a high protein dinner option with amazing sauces then this is the local go- to. The people there are always soooo nice! We have dined inside 2x and take out several times. Very easy going pace. The interior has some wall decorations which is nice. I wouldnt say first date nice unless youre good with casual. Although as i write this- this place saved our Valentines Dinner bc the place we had reservations was so overbooked we werent acknowledged for 20 mins (!!!) So we left that place and ate here instead and enjoyed our meal. Lol!!! So yeah casual but its not one of those cafeteria like setups.

We had dinner from Planet Bombay Indian Cuisine on Edgewood Ave in Old Fourth Ward yesterday. The…read morefood was delicious and satisfying. We ordered delivery via Uber Eats. Here's what we got: BOGO (buy one, get one free) 2 Garlic Naan for $5.99 2 Butter Chicken for $23.99 2 Saag Paneer for $17.99 2 Chana Masala for $15.99 2 Chicken Korma for $23.99 Other 1 Okra Bhaji for $14.99 1 Eggplant Bhaji for $14.99 After tax, delivery fee, service fee, tip, Uber One delivery discount, and Uber One membership benefit, the total was $155.81. The food was delivered to our home less than five miles away. Upon delivery, several of the containers were still piping hot. Most everything was sealed securely in plastic containers packed in brown paper bags. Upon delivery, the containers had toppled over inside the bags - if one of them had popped open during the trip, it would have been a disaster. My favorite was the Saag Paneer. It's one of my favorite Indian dishes in general. Planet Bombay's version was rich, flavorful, and had its own distinct character. Everything else was tasty as well. There wasn't a single bad item or anything really to criticize. Perhaps we could've ordered more naan, but they packed plenty of white basmati rice for us -- 10 containers worth of rice alone. We'd order from here again.

He seemed a bit frustrated early on until he finally let it go. Grateful he let it go because the naan wasn't even good enough to have more conversation around it. Then i wanted gulab jamun but they were closing so he offered me cold gulab to warm up in the microwave when i got home. i did not love that option and opted out. only reason im still giving this place 5 stars despite the service interaction is because ive dined out several times and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. besides from the music inside, no reason to dine in again.
