Best WLM Reviews
I thought the food was really excellent and well priced.
Seems somewhat sketchy to go down to the basement but you should go! It’s worth going down.
I enjoyed the decor.
Went when it was pretty empty so I had attentive service.
I come here AT LEAST twice a week haha ! This is a must go all halal restaurant with great service. The $14.99 buffet is a do not miss. You will NOT be disappointed coming to this location. Locals and ppl from the native countries also dine here so you know it’s good. The taste never disappoints and there’s always different things on the bar. Stays up a lil past 11:30-2:30 so if your running late STILL COME!
I tried this place for the first time today. The buffet was outstanding. Everything was fresh and delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. The garlic naan was amazing! Great variety of options at a great price. I will definitely be back.
Lunch buffet, good North Indian/ Mughlai spread with vegetarian options. Reasonably priced with ample street parking. Paneer dishes are very tasty, chicken variety was impressive. Good service and ambience is good for conversations. Had the lunch buffet with colleagues from work. Very stuffed and satisfied (photos tell the story). Will return.
Best Baltimore Indian Food Downtown (near Peabody Conservatory). Simply the best Indian food I've ever had anywhere! Our family has been coming here for almost 10 years, and unfortunately the original owner passed away. Deep Singh and his family are the new owner, pictured with me in this review. The tandoori chicken is amazing! Upbeat music, nice lighting, don't judge a book by its cover, come in and taste this wonderful food. I wouldn't visit Baltimore again without stopping by.. Very reasonable. And they also have beer and wine with a full bar. I'm very serious when I gave this five stars, and believe me, I'm conservative about giving stars out.
And don't leave the restaurant without trying the mango lassi!!!????
Finally got to try this place after hearing about it from a Baltimore friend! Happy to say it's delicious! I ordered the Chicken Xacutti (zah-KOO-tee)--a spicy chicken dish--a side of Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi (a sweet shake-like drink), and a Gulab Jamun dessert (fried dough balls served in syrup).
Yes, I ate all of it. The Chicken Xacutti was great, nice and spicy, served in a little pot carrying a candle inside to keep it warm. Great presentation and quality. Dinner price was $17.94.
The Garlic Naan was wonderful. Soft and doughy throughout, just the way I prefer it. $4.00
The Mango Lassi was perfectly sweet and satisfying. $5.50
The Gulab Jamun was doughy, hot, and tasty! Served with two dough balls. $5.00
Overall, the meal was wonderful and the people I was with enjoyed their food without complaints as well. We went on a Saturday evening, when it opened at 5pm. There was no one when we arrived, but quickly attracted more customers.
The atmosphere was small, dimly-lit, and decorated to accommodate several tables and booths. There was a small bar in the back, with two men serving the whole of the restaurant. The bathroom in the back was small, and did not have paper towels when I visited, but at least it had soap and water! Masks were not required.
In short, I'm glad I tried this place, happy I went with friends, and satisfied with the quality of the food. The prices were a little high, with most entrees costing ~$15 and upward, even simpler dishes like Chana Masala (chickpeas). Still, it was good and delicious and worth a visit!!
4.5/5 from me
Nice Indian restaurant near Baltimore Convention Center. Visited last night with a group of 15 plus. Service was good. Food is tasty. Prices bit expensive because this is located in downtown area so which makes sense. Parking is on street side so it will take a while to find appropriate parking. Overall we are happy and will visit if near by.
I hadn't been here in years, but I'm glad I dropped back in! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's got a nice cozy vibe down in the basement. Everything we ordered was delicious; the star was the Chicken Xacuiti - I could have licked the plate if I wasn't so full!
