" Excellent experience overall! The food was exceptional, with flavors spot on. The decor could use a little more color to reflect Indian culture, but the ambiance was still pleasant. The staff served us promptly, and we never felt rushed. Had the butter chicken with garlic naan, which was perfect. I appreciate how they offer gluten-free options as well. I will return soon to try their lunch specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" After living in various cities and trying Indian cuisine from many different restaurants, I can confidently say that Destination India is one of the best. The quality of the ingredients, the authentic spices, and the detailed presentation set it apart. The space is nicely decorated, and it adds a touch of authenticity to the dining experience. I had the lamb biryani and it was fragrant and delicious, with generous portions. Plus, the service was outstanding - attentive yet relaxed. Definitely will return to explore more of their wonderful menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had takeout from here, and it was as good as what I remember from dining in! The butter chicken was creamy and rich, while the biryani was perfectly spiced without being dry. They did not skimp on the portions either, which is always a plus. I'm looking forward to dining in next time. Very satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for a good Indian place and I’m glad I did! The samosas were crispy, and the chutney was perfectly spicy. My lamb curry was seasoned to perfection and mixed beautifully with the rice. While it got a bit crowded during dinner, the atmosphere was still cozy. The waitstaff was friendly, checking in regularly. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in Lafayette! The food was packed with authentic spices and each dish was crafted with care. Their tandoori chicken is a must-try. It was perfectly grilled and full of flavor! The atmosphere was cozy, but could benefit from a few more decorative touches to enhance the Indian feel. Would definitely recommend and return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just enjoyed a birthday dinner here and it was amazing! The restaurant had a nice buzz, and despite being busy, the service was great. My favorites were the butter chicken and palak paneer - both rich in flavor! The naan was freshly made and delicious. We even got a complimentary dessert that made the evening extra special. I can’t wait to come back and try their lunch buffet next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally made it to this restaurant after hearing all the buzz about it! The flavors are honestly some of the best I’ve had. The butter chicken was rich, and the naan was a perfect side. The waitstaff was super friendly and available at all times. Only downside was the noise level got a bit high during peak hours, but the food definitely made up for it. I'll be back for sure!
