However, that was an absolute rip off-$12 for a samosa smashed open with some sauce poured over it. Meanwhile, two samosas on their own are eight dollars, which is still too much. Nine dollars for a flavorless smoothie is also robbery. On top of that, the portions for the entrées were tiny. It's mediocre. You can skip it.

Appetizers were veggie samosas, hot and delicious with flavorful sauces on the side. Appetizers came out first, and then entrees. I ordered a rice bowl with chili paneer. The paneer was cooked to perfection and the rice was soft and fluffy. My friends also enjoyed their entrees, another paneer rice bowl, a salad bowl, and a crepe. Portions were generous for the price. Service was fantastic and attentive, and the interior of the restaurant was very clean and cozy. We will definitely return!

Best Indian culinary experience for my family in a long while. Since I cook Indian food at home, I…read moream quite picky about Indian restaurants, and Mumbai Dreams blew our mind. What impressed us first was their friendly, efficient and thoughtful service. I believe the man who took our orders was the manager. When he learned that I was a dairy-intolerant vegetarian, he informed me that the two veggie dishes I ordered - Bhindi Masala and Smoked Baingan Bharta - both came with heavy cream but they could switch to coconut milk for an extra $2. Then he went down the list of our order to say that some other items also contained a bit of dairy. I figured that I could survive that much anyway. Although the restaurant sign says "creative Indian cuisine", we stayed mostly with the traditional and our favorites. Our order came very quickly. Arriving in a cute mini tricycle, the samosas were surprisingly plump and substantial. Two of those could easily make a meal for me. The Kure Kure Mushrooms were deep fried and coated with creamy seasonings, bus still retained the chewy bite and aroma of oyster mushrooms. The serving was so large, the spices so abundant that both husband and son said they'd resume this dish after our rice arrived. The meat-eaters were extremely happy with the Malvani lamb, while I was just as impressed with the two vegan dishes. Everything was cooked from scratch, retaining the fresh flavor and texture of the ingredients. There must have been a whole pound or more okra packed in the Bhindi masala, which was dryer yet tastier than what I'd experienced elsewhere, a truly honest value. Baingan Bharta is one of my comfort foods, and their version surely met my expectations :-) We loved their creative Rosemary naan, what a delicious fusion of east and west! The waiting staff kept checking our water supply and other needs. The bill was very reasonable. We are sure to come back for more!

I just returned home from a three-hour meal at Mumbai Dreams this evening. Going into the night I…read morehad high hopes for a great experience. We had a reservation for a party of six at 7:00 pm and were promptly seated and given water when we arrived. Unfortunately, that's where things started to fall apart. We didn't see another staff member for about 45 minutes. Eventually, I believe the manager came over and took our drink, appetizer, and entrée orders all at the same time. Our drinks arrived about 20 minutes later, and the appetizers started coming out intermittently after that. Our entrées didn't start arriving until around 9:00 pm, again coming out one at a time. Some people in our group were nearly finished eating by the time others received their food. We had also ordered naan for the table, but it was the very last thing brought out, at a point when some people had already finished eating and no longer wanted it. Throughout the evening, a young woman did keep our water glasses filled, but aside from taking our order, no one came to check on our table -- no one asked how things were going, whether we needed another drink, or acknowledged the long wait. The final frustration came when we received the bill and saw that a 20% gratuity had been automatically added. Considering the level of service -- at one point we were stacking empty cups on the windowsill just to make room for our food -- this felt pretty disappointing. The food itself was decent, but based on this experience I wouldn't return. One suggestion for management: if in-house service is running extremely slow, it may be worth pausing take-out orders so you can properly serve the customers already dining in the restaurant.

I wish to start the review by saying, this is a grocery store. Period done. Except it's not,…read morebecause as Google Maps and the URL here in Yelp told me, there is food to be had as well. So you will walk into a narrow Indian grocery, reminiscent of NYC, with 3 aisles and freezers/refrigerators on the walls. A small but wide selection of authentic Indian produce, spices, grains, and other ingredients to build your meals. Just be wary of others trying to walk the same aisles, as width is very limited. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here for takeout. And if you're like me, you'll want to turn to your right, where the checkout counter is. There's a menu posted to the glass at that counter, just like the restaurant: small but wide variety. Several items on this menu that I have not seen before, so we asked some questions and ordered different dishes to share. * Medu vada: Since we were not ordering bread, this was the appetizer. They're donut-shaped, bread-tasting, onions inside. Authentic. * Chicken curry naadan: My choice, similar to Varatharacha curry I was told, but spicier. It wasn't killing my tongue, but a nice balance of flavors overall. I wish the menu warned me that the chicken comes sliced, not deboned. So make sure you are prepared for the bones! (I do not know if you can request boneless. Something to consider next time.) It comes with rice, and you will need the rice for all the "gravy" (their words, I would say "sauce"), but no vegetables. * Beef ulathiyathu: "No gravy". Excellently seasoned beef, perfectly cooked. Again, no vegetables, but you get your money's worth of meat in this dish. Packed to the brim. Food gets 5 stars, service was nice (they were balancing grocery and restaurant duties, so we didn't disturb them with questions but I'm sure they would help anytime needed), but otherwise This Is A Grocery Store. With regular Indian clientele coming in for purchases, if they like it, I like it, so 5 stars wins. Thoughts for next time: Try the naan, get veggie appetizer, go for another of those dishes I haven't tried before.

There aren't a lot of Tibetan restaurants around my area, so we decided to pick something up. We ordered the Then-Thuk (hand pulled Tibetan flat noodles, spinach, wood ear mushrooms, rice noodles, potatoes, topped with scallion/cilantro, beef) and the Beef Momos. The noodles were great, even after eating them an hour later. I do wish that they separated the noodles from the broth for takeout though, since they did become a little soggy. Definitely would have tasted better as a dine in dish. The beef momos were a little on the salty side, but I enjoyed the spicy tomato garlic dipping sauce. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd dine in for that soup, and try some of their other dishes.

Thank you, Nikita! My husband and I worked at a couple of Michelin star restaurants when NOVELLE…read moreCUISINE was all the rage. It was an exercise and torture. I'm sure you've never heard of him because you're too young, but we worked for JAQUES MAXIMUM. A little Napoleon that could get the same results even better results without screaming constantly! Nothing like being the only woman in the kitchen and having a bunch of Frenchman, screaming obscene words at you in both English and French. Why I tolerated that I still don't know I really wanted to learn. I was on the line with Alfred Portale, and was his commis. He opened his extremely successful restaurant after Jacque decided he had had enough and went back to France. He came every two weeks straight from the airport and started screaming before he even saw anyone down the long hallway. I'm truly not kidding. Alfred warned me don't look the CHEF in the eye. I think that's the first thing he ever said to me. Then the Anita Hill hearings happens and the backlash was incredible. They would sexually harass me every day and then ask me was I going to sue them? I'm not a violent person, but I felt like taking a kitchen knife and never mind. This was my first job in a good Kitchen and the manager had cocaine running out of his nose when he was telling me that I was only worth three dollars an hour. I didn't go to some fantasy school. I went to the school of hard knocks. My husband and I spoke to Mark a very nice guy, at least to us. Most people don't want to get any feedback and that's a big mistake. We gave him. Our feedback thanked him and left it at that he thanked us as well. We really were restaurant consultants. It's so easy to see what's wrong in the kitchen and what's dangerous in the kitchen at first glance and then when you dig deeper, oh my gosh, it's a wonder we even eat out anymore. If people saw what went on behind the scenes, they would never ever eat out, but we know ROOT 2 RISE is not we repeat not like that. You also sell some great crackers. We can't find anywhere else. We kept the box it is called BETTER BUCKWHEAT. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND NOT TERRIBLY OVERPRICED. I think someone might be making mistake when stalking the shelves for crackers and other snacks. Two wonderful ladies were sitting right in front of where the snacks are and when they started looking, we found a few items that are not vegan at all. We don't know how to send this privately, otherwise we would. Phone is terribly compromised. We love your Restaurant and wanted to succeed more than you can believe. We both have been vegan since 1996. We were both vegetarians at about age 11. We really appreciate your great work. Sorry we are terrible at technology and also the phone. She ain't so great.
