" I had heard great things about Dhamaka and it lived up to the hype! The spice levels are definitely fierce, which I appreciate as someone who loves Indian food that doesn’t hold back on flavor. I felt like the Lamb Biryani was the best I’ve had in the city. Portions are substantial and offer great value for the price. The service was quick and friendly but could have been more attentive when we needed refills. Still, I would enthusiastically return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dhamaka's menu is brilliantly eclectic! I went with a group of friends seven of us in total, and we ordered a feast, sharing most of the dishes. The highlights were definitely the Lamb Biryani and Butter Chicken—a twist on the traditional without losing its roots. Atmosphere was vibrant and the noise felt like part of the experience. The servers were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the dishes. I can't recommend this place enough—definitely one for the foodies! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each visit to Dhamaka has been a culinary journey! The flavors are bold and complicated, in a wonderful way. You can really taste the spices individually as they dance on your palate. If you have any food preferences, the staff is accommodating, ensuring that everyone finds something delectable on the menu. Overall, an upscale experience with your favorite comfort food! Highly recommend trying the desserts too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally managed to visit Dhamaka after hearing all the buzz! I started with the Butter Pepper Crab, which was simply divine—it melted in my mouth. The main course of Rara Gosht was equally impressive. It was flavorful and satisfying while remaining authentically Indian in essence. The service was impeccable, with my server being very insightful about the history and preparation of the dishes. This restaurant does feel busy and bustling, but that just adds to the lively atmosphere. I’ll definitely be recommending Dhamaka to my friends! Just remember, it's spicy, so come prepared! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Dhamaka, I was blown away by the flavor in their dishes. Every bite felt like a trip to India with its authenticity. The Kashmiri Gosht Chaap stood out with its perfect blend of spices, and the dessert was divine! The service was speedy without compromising quality. The only downside would be that the space felt cramped since it was quite busy, but I wouldn’t complain about the energy! A great find! " (*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*)
