Excellent service.

The rice comes seepage so make sure you order that. The naan was crispy and thin and good. This was the best Indian I've had.

The woman's and man who served us were perfect. The ambiance is nice as it's in a food hall, so you can order other foods and unique cocktails. 10/10.

We started with samosas and then had a shrimp dish, mussels, and a chicken dish. The shrimp was my favorite. A unique flavor.

Glad we were able to come here during our visit of CDMX.

P.S. If you arrive early, there's a cute cafe/restaurant right next door Quereres, that I recommend supporting! My recommendation: Come here if you're open to trying new flavours and styles; it's different, it's worth at least one visit, and definitely get the prawns & crab biryani if you're a seafood fan. It is loud (so hard to have a conversation), but the service is great. For what we ordered, only 2 dishes stood out, so I was not as wowed as I should be for a Michelin-star restaurant. (I loved the Brutalist decor and colourful menu with their quotes & message; Palestina sera libre.) Reservation: We'd made a reservation for the Reservación en Salón option in advance a couple months in advance through their website via Tok. All prices are Mexican pesos. Decor, layout, & ambiance: It's a relatively small, undecorated (by art) space, split into the dining salon for the front half of the space and a larger group seating (facinig the open kitchen). The interior is very much Brutalist with the grey concrete and sharp lines, with some warmth coming from the open kitchen. We were seated in a little corner, opposite the bar, with a speaker overhead, so it was hard to talk or hear anything, and I barely got a peak of the kitchen. The 2-bathroom space was neat, albeit dimly lit - great use of a small space though! A little hard to navigate, given the spacing between tables & chairs; I can see this being more of a challenge if you're not able-bodied, are in a wheelchair, or have mobility limitations. Noise level: Be warned, given the low ceilings in a certain area of dining salon, the placement & volume of the speakers, and concrete, the noise level was not ideal for talking. I wish they would do something about this given how prevalent it is in reviews & feedback to them directly. Service: We were seated right away when we arrived; while there were only two other parties of 2 seated when we arrived, it definitely filled up within the hour; every seat was taken. We were asked if we wanted the service in English or Spanish, and we opted for the latter; our server also asked if he should just pick out the dishes for us and my party agreed. Not only did he manage to pick out the dishes that were top notch, he also explained the history behind each dish. What we got: This is a family meal-style place, so order to share - our meal lasted a total of 2 hours. 1. Starter: Encurtidos, achaars y fermentos | Fermented Pickled Peanuts $200 I don't remember actually ordering this, so it might have been gratis; either way, I did like the hands-on approach to peeling the fermented peanuts and truly enjoyed the achaar-y sauce it came in - the tamarind came through nicely. 2. Appetiser: Infladita chaat | Chaat $285 A single puffed wheat shell with raita, hibiscus chutney, pineapple, potatoes, cucumber, mint chutney, and cilantro. The novelty of breaking it open and the taste went away after the first bite; I felt it was missing the tartiness of tamarind & chutneys in chaats that I am used to. I'd recommend skipping this, unless you've never had a chaat before. 3. Appetiser: Camarones Pa'pelar | Prawns $445 Cooked in ghee with vanilla and chile morita, it was such a crispy-crunchy shell with absolutely tender meat. I highly, highly recommend this - get 1 order per person and you won't regret it; don't forget to suck out the juices from the head too! 4. Entree: Chile relleno de bharela ringan | Chile relleno with eggplant $395 The sauce was deliciously rich, mole-like; we had to cut it with a little bit of the fermented peanut sauce from earlier since it was too thick for us, but oh-so-filling. A unique flavour profile of the smokey chile with the sweet eggplant. Wasn't our favourite dish, sadly. 5. Entree: Biryani con encocado | Crab biryani $485 If there're only two dishes you get, I highly recommend getting this as your second one. The crab was perfectly tempura-like fried and crispy - I ate it all, as you're meant to. The biryani is South Indian-style, steamed in the banana leaf with coconut milk, so a bit thicker & wetter. The blend of spices, the heat, the creaminess of the coconut, and the fragrant jasmine rice all went to beautifully with a delicious, crunch crab. 6. Drinks: We got tepache (a fermented pineapple peel & rind beverage, with piloncillo) and second one that I forgot about, but we enjoyed them both very much - defintiely recommend to balance out the richness of the dishes. We sadly didn't have space for dessert; hopefully next time. Note: The menu's in Spanish - as it should be; if you can't ready Spanish, your server or Google Translate will help, or look here on Yelp!

My wife, daughter, and I were looking for a taste of home during our Mexico City visit, and Chef Dharam delivered beyond anything we hoped for. This isn't fancy restaurant food. It's the kind of cooking that tastes like someone's mom or grandmother made it just for you. And that, for our family, is the highest compliment possible. Chef Dharam is the real deal. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. The Palak Paneer was creamy, well-spiced, and comforting in the best way. The Aloo Parantha was stuffed so generously (not the skimpy kind you sometimes get) and paired perfectly with a side of yogurt. We also had Chhole Bhature and regular parantha, and every single thing on the table was finished. My daughter, who can be quite the food critic, cleaned her plate without a word of complaint. That says it all. Here's the moment that really got us though. We asked about Bhindi Masala and Chef Dharam told us okra was out of season. Instead of just shrugging it off, he offered to personally get some in the next day and told us to check with him before coming back. We honestly didn't think much of it, but sure enough, he came through. The Bhindi Masala was ready and it was fantastic. My wife was thrilled! That kind of thoughtfulness is rare anywhere in the world, let alone in a small neighborhood restaurant. Our whole family is already planning our next Mexico City trip around coming back here. Chef Dharam, thank you so much. You made our visit truly special.

Located on the second floor of a mini-mall, this intimate restaurant features a wealth of North Indian food from samosas and pakoras to naan, masalas, vindaloos, and much more, all reasonably priced and served with a smile by very professional wait staff. There are plenty of vegetarian as well as meaty options, a natural juices and lassi menu. Ask for the special off-menu tamarind chutney--it's the perfect sweet/sour/slightly spicy accompaniment. The pulao kesar has to be my favorite rice dish of all time, featuring delicious curried basmati rice infused with roasted nuts, cranberry, and fragrant herbs--out of this world! Varanasi also has a popular Mexican-food menu for less adventurous diners. All in all, a real treat for this expat looking for something different on DF's north side.

Havining spent more than a few weeks of my life in India, I can say with certainty this was a poor representation. I don't like to be mean, this is just based on facts. The naan was more like pita, the tandoori chicken was served presliced and dry, the raita was literally just a scoop of unflavored yogurt, and the chicken tikka masala had almost no flavor. The costs were relatively high, the service was very very, slow, even by local standards, and the restaurant itself was a but dated and weathered. So overall not the best ambiance, mid at best. Maybe it was an off nite, maybe they had a substitufe chef that night, but overall even in a city known for very few Indian restaurants, I personally cannot recommend anything we ordered or the experience. Wait no, the cardamom tea was good and the mango lassi was pretty decent. But otherwise this is the unfortunate truth about our experience. Happy eating from John Seeto!
