" We went to Raftaar for a birthday dinner, and it was a great choice! Everything from the decor to the food was vibrant. I tried their signature chaap, which was beautifully seasoned and grilled to perfection. The cocktail pairing recommendations from our server were spot on; I loved the mango mojito! We had a few issues with our table initially being a bit cramped, but the attentive staff quickly accommodated us. Excellent service, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere—definitely would recommend for celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Raftaar was delightful! I loved the innovative fusion dishes they offered, such as the Chicken Biryani Tacos. The flavors were outstanding, and the presentation was Instagram-worthy! The only bummer was the wait time for our food; it took a little longer than expected, but the server made up for it with free drinks as an apology. Overall, the friendly staff and cozy ambiance made it a memorable dinner. Would certainly return to try different options! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was delicious and the service was commendable! I really enjoyed the fish curry, which had a perfect balance of spices. The atmosphere was lively but still intimate enough for great conversations. I found the portion sizes were generous, which made it worth the price. A lovely experience overall; I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy quality Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable experience overall! The food was fresh, and I particularly enjoyed the fish curry. Each dish showcased a variety of flavors. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. Service was cordial, and our needs were met promptly. I'd recommend Raftaar to anyone seeking authentic Indian food with a contemporary twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was fantastic! Raftaar combines modern style with genuine flavors. We had shared a variety of appetizers including their popular tandoori momos and some spicy chili potatoes; both were amazing! For mains, I opted for the lamb naan roll, and it was well-seasoned with a great spice level. The drinks were creatively crafted, and I loved the atmosphere. Our server was super friendly and ensured our glasses were never empty! All in all, a complete dining experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to savor authentic Indian food.

" I had quite an experience at Raftaar! The food was good, giving me some nostalgia from my trips to India, but they could improve on spice levels for authenticity. The curry was tasty but didn't deliver the punch I was hoping for. The atmosphere was upbeat, the music very much to my liking. The staff were lovely and made sure our glasses were always full. Overall, it's a solid option, but I hope for a bit more authenticity next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent meal here! The Chicken Tikka was one of the best I've ever had—tender and flavorful! The service was friendly and made great suggestions for both food and drinks. I particularly loved the casual yet lively ambiance with great music in the background. All in all, Raftaar is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)
