" Visited Exotica last weekend, and I must say it was a delightful experience. While the food was authentic and delicious, I felt that the portion sizes could be bigger for the prices. I really loved the ambiance, which was both cozy and stylish. The staff was polite but could improve by being a tad more attentive. Overall, I would still recommend this place for a nice evening out. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Exotica was unforgettable! The food was bursting with authentic flavors and utterly mouthwatering. I particularly enjoyed the Chettinad Chicken and the Garlic Cilantro Naan. The decor is stunning, adding to the overall ambiance of the place. We also tried the dessert, Gulab Jamun, which was the perfect end to our meal. Highly recommend this hidden gem in the city!

" I would rate Exotica as a solid food option. The dishes were flavorful, but I felt some dishes could use more balance in their spice levels.

" To put it bluntly, one of the best places I've ever visited for Indian cuisine. The presentation of the food was as impressive as the taste. I tried their Chicken Vindaloo after hearing it's spicy, and it was just the right amount for me! The portions were generous too, satisfying for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" As an avid fan of Indian cuisines, I must say, Exotica held its ground! The dishes we tried were authentic and flavorful, especially the Korma and Dhabha Paneer. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was both classy and inviting. An ideal spot for those looking to indulge in top-quality Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)
