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.

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.

Botiwalla is one of the fast causal restaurants on the main floor food hall of Ponce City Market…read more You order at the counter, and can sit within their space, or "to go" if you sit in the main hall. The rest of my group had ordered from another restaurant, so I picked my order up from the counter space. The menu is a good length, sandwiches, salads, sides, sodas, and a couple alcoholic drink options. I had the smashed potatoes, the fish sandwich, and their raspberry/lime soda. Everything was fantastic, very flavorful, ingredients balanced. My niece had not wanted to order as she was unsure about whether she'd like the flavors, and she does not do spicy. She loved everything. The potatoes have a light kick of spice, I would put them in the flavorful category over spicy, Could not be happier with my food hall choice.

I'll be genuinely sad to lose access to Botiwalla when I return to California. This place provided…read moreone of the best bites I had during my time in Atlanta. You order at the counter, receive a number, and seat yourself. The decor was bright, and combined with the upbeat music, the atmosphere was lively. FOOD: Maharja Lamb Burger (5/5) - Two lamb sliders. So wonderfully seasoned and juicy. No gamey taste that is usually associated with lamb at all. Crispy Masala Fish Roll (5/5) - Fish perfectly cooked, wrapped in a soft, hot naan. Excellent flavors. How could I complain? No notes. SERVICE: Food came out pretty fast after we ordered, even though it was pretty busy in there. The person who brought out our food was also super friendly and struck up a conversation with us. TLDR// Easily one of the best meals I had in Atlanta. Sad that I can no longer eat here when I leave. Highly recommend.

(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.

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.

The interior is nice, you can watch the employees make naan through a big glass window and the area clearly looks very clean and well-kept. The garlic naan was probably the best I've ever had in the US. I had the lamb tikka masala also, and we got a lot of lamb plus the sauce was delicious. Not as spicy as I prefer , but that's okay. Definitely reasonable food and taste for the price plus service. Overall: amazing Indian food spot in Midtown with top-notch naan, good service, and good food. Would definitely recommend.
