You'll get a code via email, but you still have to redeem that code IN the restaurant. I was expecting a electronic gift card. And since the restaurant is geared towards food delivery services and take out, when you redeem the gift card in the restaurant and order there it takes them FOREVER to get you your food. In my case it took more than half and hour from the time I ordered until I got my food; so I had to burn all that time sitting around in the restaurant, while other take out orders and delivery services got their food more quickly. The restaurant itself is clean, if a little dated.

We have never been disappointed, and the service is wonderful! Elish is great! He will make recommendations on what to order or the spice level, and he is never wrong.

Oh! Also- is gorgeous inside. It's not too loud, the decor is dark, jem tones and gold, and the bathrooms are always clean (and super cute).

This is a sad review for me to write, because I have been a loyal customer for more than ten years…read more I have left several 5 star reviews, and loved the goat biryani that Tom Seitsema also loved, and loved the tandoori chicken and wings, the lamb saagwala, anything with goat (even with the bones), and the service was always attentive. But two days ago I ordered online their lunch specials and some other items, and the 20% off coupon did not work, even though it was still featured on the website. The Lamb in the lamb saagwala and the goat in goat biryani and goat curry were tough--so tough that I knew they were just thrown in the dish without the long braise that is necessary to make lamb and goat tender. Even the tandoori wings had little of the expected taste. The bill for the lunch was $106 and they forgot to include the naan (that was supposed to be included in each luncheon special.) When I called later they refused to deliver the naan to our house (less than a half mile away) or issue a refund. After so many good experiences there (I have eaten there at least 50 times) I am so upset that I have to say that something is very wrong. New ownership? The one waitstaff was brand new, also. No one was eating there and there were no phone orders while I waited so they are not doing well. This is sad. Very sad.

Bansari Indian Cuisine just earned a permanent spot in our delivery rotation, and the Shrimp Tikka…read moreMasala is the reason why. Plump, tender shrimp swimming in a velvety tomato-cream sauce with real backbone -- that warm, layered heat that builds slow and lingers just long enough to make you reach for more. It's the kind of dish where the spice actually means something: cumin, coriander, a whisper of clove, and a chili kick that says the kitchen isn't playing it safe. We ordered it medium and it hit that perfect sweet spot where flavor and fire are in balance. The garlic naan was the ideal partner -- pillowy, blistered, and dripping with garlic, perfect for mopping up every last drop of that sauce (and trust me, you'll want to). The Chicken Hakka Noodles brought a totally different energy: smoky wok-tossed heat, springy noodles, and that savory Indo-Chinese punch with just enough chili to keep things interesting. Everything arrived hot, sealed tight, and right on time -- no leaks, no sad soggy containers, nothing lost in transit. Generous portions, free delivery, and food that tastes like it came straight off the stove. If you like your Indian food with genuine spice and soul, Bansari delivers. Literally. Highly recommend!

The weekday Thali and entree lunch deals and happy hour are well worth it! The Veggie Thali was loaded with 7 little dishes - Paneer Tikka, Saag, Dhal, yogurt, Cauliflower Gobi, Picked Veggie, and Rice Pudding as well as a crispy Paaper and Naan. The red Paneer Tikka as well as the spinach and corn Saag hit the spot! They paired so well with the fluffy and scrumptious Garlic Naan! The fluffy, pillowy-soft Garlic Naan was scrumptious! The Happy Hour (Mon - Fri 2:30 - 6:30pm) is a great deal with $8 apps (entree size!) and $6 cocktails. The Gobi Manchurian has a spicy kick. If you like spicy, go for it! The Karari Palak Chaat has a crunchy base with chickpea batter with crispy palak spinach and topped with sweet and tangy chutneys and yogurt. My daughter enjoyed the Vegetable Momo with a dozen bite-size dumplings. The apps were a generous size and could easily serve as a entree. The Lychee Martini was boozy and packed a punch and glad I got some extra lychee juice to dilute it. The Malai Kofta was creamy and flavorful. The Kofta were a bit stiff. The Palak Paneer was a bit tangy with soft, chunky pieces of paneer. Dhal Paneer Makhani was very tasty. The Mango Lassi was sweet. The food was pretty mild and not spicy. The service is great, shout-out to the waiter Navaan and the owner, Shankar. They are both very nice to my daughter and me. There's another lunch deal $14 with veggie entree, rice, naan, and dessert - will be back for more!

When looking for somewhere to door dash dinner from a few weeks ago, the Wife and I were excited to…read moretry new (to us) Indian restaurant after ordering almost exclusively from another restaurant based on reviews online. Unfortunately, each dish we tried was worse than the one before. Samosa was ok, although spicier than necessary. The Papdi Chaat was a mushy mess. The Butter Chicken, was ok, although it was missing any distinctive spicy or creamy flavor. It was the only truly edible dish we could both eat without feeling sick after. The basmati Rice was good at least and the Garlic Naan was quite tasty that day although never reheated very well which was disappointing. And the Vegetable Korma, wow, that was by far the worst. It smelled and tasted more like veggie Alfredo than korma, and I don't mean that in a good way. I've had Korma at many Indian restaurants in the past and never, ever, ever had one this bad that caused both my wife and I to refuse to have any more after our first tries. All in all, as bad as the food was, I must say that I am most annoyed and disappointed not with the restaurant l, but rather with all of the positive and glowing reviews that the community previously had given this place. Had anyone who wrote an earlier review tasted Indian food before, or did we somehow figure out some wild algorithm of different dishes that were different than what anyone else had ever ordered from this restaurant??? I just can't figure out the answer to that one...and last piece of advice, do yourself a favor and if you've found a restaurant that you previously have loved and were happy with, don't rock the boat and stupidly try something else, because take it from me in this case, you WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
