" The Chicken Kabab was a revelation! Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. The Donne Biryani accompanied it was also commendable. I find Badoota to be a great option for anyone looking to taste authentic Karnataka cuisine. Parking was a bit tricky but certainly worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" From a Bangalorean standpoint, Badoota delivers an authentic taste of home. Their menu offers an impressive variety with a special mention for the Chilli Chicken; it was spicy yet perfectly balanced. Each dish is packed with rich flavors—it’s a must-try for lovers of Karnataka cuisine. Just remember, some items have limited availability so plan ahead! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful lunch at Badoota! The aroma of the spices hit me as soon as I opened the box containing the Donne Biryani. It was well-prepared, but I felt the quantity could have been a bit more generous for the price. The staff was friendly, adding to the pleasant experience. I can't wait to try their other dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Badoota is a hidden gem! The mutton biryani was hands down one of the best I've had in the US. Authentic flavor and generous chunks of meat, though I did feel the rice was a bit short for the price. Don't skip on the pickled carrots, they complement the dish perfectly. Overall a fantastic experience, and I will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Badoota after all the buzz, and I must say it mostly lived up to expectations. The mutton biryani was rich in flavor; however, the quantity was a bit lacking relative to what I paid. The service was decent but not stellar. Overall a good experience that could use a couple tweaks to keep it competitive. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Badoota started off poorly as I had to wait longer than expected for my pickup. When the food was finally ready, however, the taste of the Donne Biryani exceeded my expectations! Full of aromatic spices and tender chunks of meat, I became willing to overlook the service delay. I will certainly give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Badoota has become my go-to for authentic Karnataka food in the Bay Area! The mutton Donne Biryani was nothing short of spectacular - rich, savory, and just the right amount of spice, bringing a sense of nostalgia. I particularly loved the option to order extra spice, which was just what I needed. Can't wait to indulge again soon! " (*Curated Review*)
