" The Verandah Kitchen is such a hidden gem in Hampden! I was blown away by the flavors in the small plates we tried. The Fish Amritsari was simply fantastic; it had the right amount of spice and was cooked to perfection. Plus, the cozy setting is perfect for a date night or small gathering. The service was excellent too. Our server was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. I did feel like the portions were a tad smaller than expected, so for that reason, I wouldn’t rate it as high in the 'portion' category. Still, I will definitely return to try more dishes. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand why this place isn’t talked about more! The Verandah Kitchen is a fantastic little spot. We ordered a variety of small plates to share, and honestly, every single item had its unique charm. The flavors were spectacular—definitely on point with Indian authenticity. The tasting menu is a joy for anyone who loves to explore different flavors and textures. I was particularly impressed by the Prawn Ghee Roast. The staff were friendly, though a little rushed; I'd recommend sitting during off-peak hours if you can. I foresee this becoming one of my favorite local spots for Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Verandah Kitchen is where Indian food truly comes alive. I had a fantastic meal and couldn't fault the taste. Each small plate had a unique flavor profile and was beautifully presented. The environment was warm, and the staff were friendly. Although we encountered a longer wait for our food, the flavors made it all worth it. Just a note—the portions are smaller than average, so keep that in mind when ordering. I look forward to coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an epic dinner! I took my family to The Verandah Kitchen for a casual Saturday night out. We were absolutely thrilled with our choices—from the Trini Doubles to the Chicken Tikka, everything was spot-on. It was nice to have the option to customize our spice level and accommodating allergies without missing out on authentic flavors. Our server was very engaged and provided helpful recommendations. I would have liked slightly larger portions for the price, but the incredible taste more than made up for it. Definitely coming back for another family gathering soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rich experience at The Verandah Kitchen! The food was deliciously authentic. I tried different vegetarian dishes, and they were bursting with flavor! The environment was warm and cozy, perfect for a night out. I was slightly disappointed with the drink options; the menu focused more on food, and with BYOB, it makes sense, but I wished for some unique house-made beverages. Overall, I would rate it highly for authenticity and atmosphere, but I think there is room for improvement in complementing drink choices. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my partner to The Verandah Kitchen for an anniversary dinner, and it did not disappoint! We were keen to try various small plates, and every dish was incredible. The personal touches in service made it even more special. I particularly loved the vegetarian options. It’s hard to find quality plant-based Indian dishes, and this place nailed it! My only suggestion would be to work on streamlining service during peak hours—otherwise a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Discovering The Verandah Kitchen was truly a lucky strike! The intimate setting really sets you up for a relaxed dining experience. We indulged in a few small plates and left absolutely satisfied. The flavors were vibrant—the chef really knows how to play with spices and ingredients. It felt like we were taken on a culinary journey through India, which was refreshing. Despite a bit of a wait for our food, our servers were really friendly, and it made up for the service timing. I’ll be back, perhaps with friends. " (*Curated Review*)
