" What a delightful surprise Dhamaka was! The richness of flavors in their dishes made my mouth water the whole time. I started with the Tandoori Cauliflower, which was smoky, and then moved onto the Goat Curry. Both were well-balanced! The service was friendly and prompt, and I truly felt like I got my money's worth. The restaurant was bustling with energy, which I loved, but it also made conversations a bit difficult. Nevertheless, one of my top dining experiences this year! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Dhamaka was phenomenal! From the moment we entered until the last bite, we were treated with respect and kindness. Our waiter was incredibly helpful in suggesting dishes that were totally unique to this place. I tried the Chapli Kebab and the Nalli Biryani, and both were out of this world! Absolutely must-tries if you get the chance. The atmosphere was buzzing, a bit loud at times, but that’s all part of the charm. I can't wait to return for another hearty meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dhamaka was an unforgettable experience it was my first time having authentic Indian cuisine and it set the bar high! The way they infused flavors in each dish was truly impressive. I especially loved the rabri dessert and was delighted by the friendly and funny service. My friends and I had a great time and left feeling incredibly satisfied. A lovely spot I would recommend for anyone looking to delve into Indian food culture! " (*Curated Review*)

" After my dinner at Dhamaka, I have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed. The food was decent, but it lacked the strong spice elements I crave in Indian dishes. Don't get me wrong, the service was fine, and the décor lively, but I just expected more from the menu. However, my dining partners loved the variety offered. It might have just been a mismatch of preferences. I wouldn’t rule out a return visit but wouldn't actively seek it out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dhamaka wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience. We ordered an impressive variety to share, and each dish brought something unique. The Nalli Biryani was comfort food at its finest and everything from the soft naan to the vibrant Kashmiri Gosht impressed me. Service was attentive without being intrusive which I appreciated. I’ll recommend Dhamaka to all my foodie friends who appreciate authentic and high-quality Indian dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute hit with Indian cuisine enthusiasts! Dhamaka boasts a menu filled with authentic specialties that are beautifully executed. The star for me was the Bhuna Gosht, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The drinks were also innovative, offering a unique twist to traditional mixes. Service was attentive, and I loved the energy of the restaurant. I’ll definitely be back to taste more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible service and even better food! The team at Dhamaka really knows how to take care of their customers. From the moment we walked in, it felt welcoming. The fish fry was out of this world, and I would definitely recommend pairing it with their lassi! The portions are generous, and the ambiance is vibrant if not slightly excited at times. Overall, a great experience I’d love to recreate! " (*Curated Review*)
