" I visited Passage to India with high hopes based on friends' recommendations. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to the hype. The Paneer Tikka was dry and lacked flavor. I felt the Butter Chicken was decent but certainly not my favorite; I’ve had better at other establishments in the area. I appreciated the prompt service, but the food quality needs to be more consistent. The atmosphere was inviting but overall, I may not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delicious food! The spices in each dish were perfectly balanced, and it felt like a true delight in my mouth. I tried several dishes, including the Chaat, Tikka, and Naan, and each surpassed my expectations! The staff was sweet and attentive, making sure our table was always served quickly. The ambiance was vibrant, making it a perfect place for gatherings with friends. This is definitely going on my list of favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had takeout from Passage to India and was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The Chicken Tikka was fantastic—each piece had a lovely char and wasn't overdone. The biryani was well-spiced, but I wish it had more chicken. Ordering was straightforward, and I appreciated the prompt service. My only critique would be that the packaging could've been better to avoid spillage during transport. Overall, a great choice for flavorful Indian food at home. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! The moment I walked in, the aroma of spices wafting through the air was enticing. I chose the lunch buffet and was delighted by the variety of dishes available—each one more flavorful than the last. The Biryani was fragrant and satisfying while the paneer dishes tasted fresh and homemade. My one complaint would be that during the busy lunch rush, some items ran low and took a little while to be replenished. However, the staff was very friendly and apologetic, which helped lighten the mood. I definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a regular at Passage to India and I can confidently say that the food always impresses. The menu is expansive with every dish I’ve tried being exceptionally well-prepared. The lunch buffet is a fantastic option to explore a variety of flavors. The staff, without fail, makes me feel at home. However, I would love to see some more vegetarian choices in their main menu for those who don’t do meat. Overall, it’s a wonderful place that keeps me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though it was busy when we arrived, the service was surprisingly prompt. I had the Chicken Tandoori and it came out perfectly charred and seasoned. The portion sizes were decent, and I left feeling satisfied. The atmosphere is quite nice, however, I wish there was more space between tables for added privacy. Nonetheless, I would recommend it for anyone craving flavorful Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Passage to India offers a delightful menu, but be prepared for a possible wait during weekend dinner rushes. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it great for family dinners or date nights. I was particularly fond of their Palak Paneer which was rich and balanced with spices. On the other hand, the Chicken Biryani was rather underwhelming for me, lacking the fragrant aroma I expected. Nevertheless, the service was attentive and friendly. I will certainly return, albeit with a focus on different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)
