" The restaurant is good, and the food is tasty, but there are areas for improvement. My chicken curry was a bit oily and the naan didn't taste fresh. Their service staff was kind but a tad disorganized during our visit. I wouldn't say it's the worst place but certainly not the best Indian food around. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience! The ambiance is cozy yet lively, creating a perfect setting for a family dinner or date night. The butter chicken was rich and creamy while the spice level was just perfect as per my request. Loved every bite! Customer service was exceptional; our server was very attentive without being intrusive. I can see why this place is a neighborhood favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was really looking forward to my visit but left feeling a bit let down. The chicken tikka was good but lacked the depth of flavor I expected based on the reviews. The service was prompt, but the overall experience didn’t live up to the hype. I might give it another chance during lunch when it’s possibly less busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Over the years, we've tried various Indian restaurants, but Kismat stands out for its authentic flavors. Love their dal makhani, it was comfort food at its best! While the service may be a tad slow during peak times, the dishes are worth the wait. I hope they stick to their roots and continue with their excellent culinary offerings. Will keep coming back with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kismat is our go-to Indian restaurant! The lunch buffet is fantastic—offering a wide range of authentically prepared dishes that are packed with flavor. Each visit we've found fresh options. The staff constantly refreshes the buffet while being attentive to guests, making sure everything is enjoyed at its best. The portions are generous, and the price is unbelievable for all that you get! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend this restaurant enough! The chicken karahi was spicy and flavorful, and the garlic naan was just the best. The portions were more than generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food. We had a lovely evening there with friends. The restaurant has a warm ambiance, which is perfect for gatherings. The service was friendly and attentive. We will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading rave reviews, I decided to try the dinner buffet and was less than impressed. The food seemed a bit underwhelming and lacked the strong flavors typical of Indian cuisine. The naan was dry, and the chicken curry felt somewhat lukewarm. The service was okay, but I expected more given the hype around this place. " (*Curated Review*)
