" What a delightful find Aarzu is! Came here with a large group of friends for a weekend dinner and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the stellar service delivered by the wait staff to the incredible flavors of the dishes, everything was just perfect. We started off with their famous beetroot tikki, which was unique and delicious. The butter chicken was a standout — creamy with a hint of smokiness that made it irresistible. For dessert, we shared the dessert platter, which was a stunning array of different sweets; each one was a work of art! I would say portions could be bigger, but considering the rich flavors, it’s easy to fill up. We’ll definitely return to try more dishes! Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful lunch with colleagues at Aarzu recently, and it's safe to say I was charmed by the experience! The staff were friendly, ensuring that we felt welcomed from the moment we entered. The food, from the appetizers to the rich flavors of the curries, was quite impressive. I expected a more vibrant spice profile but still enjoyed it thoroughly. Each dish was carefully crafted and unique. They also had a refreshing selection of beverages. I will return soon, particularly to try their desserts next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Aarzu based on a friend's recommendation, and it did not disappoint! Our server was enthusiastic and helped us navigate the menu, making suggestions that were spot on. The dishes we ordered were visually stunning and tasted fantastic – especially the lamb korma and garlic naan. The only small drawback was that I found the lamb had a slightly heavier seasoning than I usually prefer. However, I loved the experience and have already planned my return with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had such a lovely evening at Aarzu! The decorations were beautiful, contributing to the pleasant atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly, really enhancing our dining experience. Each dish was presented beautifully, and the flavors were nothing short of exceptional. I especially enjoyed the palak chaat and tandoori basil chicken. However, the portions felt smaller than expected, which left us a bit hungry afterward. Still, it was a delightful experience I would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve always been on the lookout for good Indian food, and I can confidently say Aarzu has become my go-to spot! The first time I dined here, I was impressed by the extensive menu. The staff was not only knowledgeable about each dish but also enthusiastic about the recommendations. We tried the coconut chicken 65, which was a hit with everyone at our table. The chicken was tender and flavorful, unlike anything I have tasted elsewhere. While some dishes were a bit on the milder side for spiciness, they still packed a punch with flavor. The ambiance is modern and chic, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. I can’t wait to return and try more items on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aarzu has quickly become a favorite for dining out! My family had an unforgettable birthday dinner here. The food was flavorful, each dish expertly crafted. I personally adored the chicken tikka masala, which was both rich and comforting. The service matched the quality of the food, as everyone was friendly and attentive. While the portion sizes were enough for us, I was hoping for a little more variety in the dessert menu. I am looking forward to returning again very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible dinner experience at Aarzu last week. The ambiance was stylish and intimate, a great setting for our family gathering. We sampled several appetizers, and I can't stress enough how delicious the coconut chicken 65 was – a must-try! Every dish was vibrant and beautifully presented. Up next were the chicken biryani and lamb dishes which didn’t disappoint either, although I prefer a bit more flavor in mine. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)
