    Main dining area.

    Based on previous reviews we were not sure but decided to try this restaurant. Overall the food quality is good. It's just that the entire menu is truly alacarte. Even papadums and naan bread pay by the piece. We had 2 papadums which were thin, crispy & tasty served with 3 different toppings and the mango topping was delicious! We had a cauliflower appetizer, arracherra tandoori(very tender) & shrimp vindaloo(very spicy)as our main courses. I chose the yellow rice & my hubby chose the white. He had 2 amber modelo beers and I had a delicious mango lassi. FYI I'd pass on the garlic naan (2pieces)because the garlic was dried flakes and not very tasty. The rices were both fluffy and laced with veggies. Our servers took good care of us. The atmosphere & decor are very nice and relaxing. Overall 3 stars.

    Naan, lamb curry, chicken tandoori and chicken biriyani.

    I went here twice when I was in D.F. The good was really good both times. The first time I ordered fish tikka and the chicken biriyani. The second time I ordered chicken biriyani, lamb curry with almonds, plain Naan and tandoori chicken. The flavors and presentation of dishes seem to have been tailored for the clientele they want to target. The tandoori chicken and fish tikka I ordered were presented as a sizzlers. I must add couple of things for those who are seeking Halal food. This restaurant serves alcohol and only some dishes are halal depending on what day you go. The owner has to personally slaughter the animals for the halal dishes and you should call ahead to see halal dishes on the day you are going.

    If you are really hungry and craving for Indian - Pakistani food, Tandoor is a decent option. Their ambience is mostly Indian antique and vintage and the menu did have some good vegetarian options. We started with the vegetable pakora which came along with mint and yogurt condiments. It seemed it like it was just onion pakoras. We couldn't really bite into any other vegetable. But it tasted okay and wasn't oily. We then ordered for the Sabzi Shorba. The soup was hot and filled with flavors and vegetables. So a big thumbs up for that. For main course, we ordered puris, vegetable pulao and shahi paneer. The puris were too crispy that it looked liked papadum for a minute. The gravy was good. The pulao was mildly flavored and was filling for only one person. We then finished our meal with sweet lassi (which was highly recommended on Yelp) and gulab jamun. Ordering the lassi was the best decision we made. It was extremely delicious. The gulab jamun was too soft and sweet for me. But wasn't bad either. What I liked about the restaurant was the good and quick service. But their quantities are too small and would not be filling enough to share with another person. The prices aren't bad either. Overall my experience would be a 3/5.

    Good Indian food, almost authentic but of course Indo-Pak food tastes different in Mexico City. Highly recommended!

    Food is tasty as India but not look wise. There are no much varieties we found. Go ahead to taste Indian food.

We started with samosas and then had a shrimp dish, mussels, and a chicken dish. The shrimp was my favorite. A unique flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the accompying sauce was rich and flavorful. Ambiance was nice but the music was a bit too loud at times. Overall an excellent restaurant. Glad we were able to come here during our visit of CDMX.

    We came here as a party of 2 for lunch at noon (12 p.m.) - just as they opened - as we wanted to…read moretry Chefs Norma Listman and Saqib Keval's blend West & South Indian, West African, and Mexican ingredients & dishes. 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.
