" Incredible service and flavorful dishes! I especially loved the friendly staff who made me feel welcome. I ordered the Chana Masala and Garlic Naan, and both were delicious, but I would argue that the dish could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, perfect for a meal with friends. The prices are reasonable too, making it a great value for the quality. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having traveled across India, I was excited to try Passage to India. Met with mixed feelings, while the staff was welcoming and the service was timely, the dishes I tried felt a bit simplified for Western tastes. I ordered a Rogan Josh, and it lacked the depth of spice I had hoped for. However, the naan bread was superb—fluffy and perfect alongside our curry. Perhaps choosing some of the lesser-known dishes would yield a more authentic experience. I might return with a different order choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant deserves all the praise it gets! From the warm welcome by the staff to the big portions, everything was lovely. I went for the Chicken Korma, and it was rich and creamy, while my partner enjoyed the Tofu Tikka Masala that was bursting with flavors. We shared the garlic naan, and it was the best I've ever had! The ambiance is cozy, and it's a nice spot for a family meal. I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for authentic Indian food, make sure you stop by Passage to India. I came here for dinner with a few friends and we had an amazing experience. We started with samosas that were perfectly crispy and full of flavor. For my main course, I tried the Lamb Vindaloo, which was tender and spicy but not overpowering. The service was quick and friendly, and I appreciated how they checked on us throughout the meal without being intrusive. The decor added to the overall charm. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The lunch buffet is a fantastic deal and perfect for anyone looking to try a little bit of everything. The variety is impressive, and the flavors are incredible with each dish reflecting authentic Indian cuisine. The staff is helpful and friendly, ensuring that you have the best experience possible. While I had a great meal, I would have loved to see more desserts offered on the buffet. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a fulfilling lunch. " (*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*)
