" The food is authentic and incredibly tasty! I had both the keys and samosas, and they were lovely. The owner greeted us warmly and made us feel at home. The ambiance was very inviting, though it could have been a little more cozy. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine Indian food. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience at Hema’s Kitchen. I was really looking forward to authentic flavors, but the food felt bland and overcooked. The restaurant was empty, yet the service was sluggish. I don't think I'll be returning, as I can find better options for Indian food elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Hema's Kitchen, and I have to say I was impressed. The chicken vindaloo had the perfect kick and was loaded with spices just how I like it. Plus, the decor was charming and the owner was lovely. I’ll be recommending this place to everyone looking for good Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply the best! I'm so happy I discovered Hema's Kitchen. The food is both authentic and deeply satisfying. I loved the quality of the ingredients used in the mutton curry. It's a family-run place which makes it all the more special. Great experience, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Hema's and was really disappointed. The butter chicken was okay, but the garlic naan was soggy and undercooked. I don't understand how a place known for its Indian food could mess up something as simple as naan. They have generally good reviews, so maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I don't think I’ll be ordering from here again anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in India for a while, I have a pretty high standard for Indian food. Hema's Kitchen did not disappoint. The only thing I would critique is that the service was a little slow; however, the flavors of the dishes made it worth the wait. Their palak paneer was some of the best I've tasted. I appreciate that the spice levels were true to Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely dining experience! The mango lassi was just the right amount of sweet and refreshing. I also enjoyed the vegetable samosa as an appetizer - so crispy! The food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. However, the service was a hit or miss; we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks. " (*Curated Review*)
