" Had a rather disappointing experience at Ekta. I ordered the chicken jalfrezi, but it was quite bland and heavy. I was hoping for something with robust flavor but found it lacking. The naan was fine, but it didn't save the meal. Service was decent, but I expected more for the food quality. It might be worth trying again since I’ve heard great things, but I can't say I would recommend it just yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" My group visited Ekta for a casual dinner and enjoyed a variety of dishes, including chicken tikka, palak paneer, and bazaar-style chaat. The flavors were vibrant, and each dish was well-prepared. I was particularly delighted with their service; the staff was engaging and willing to help us choose the best options! The decor is simple, reflecting the takeout nature of the place, but that didn’t detract from the overall experience. I’d be happy to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Ekta for their veggie samosas, and they lived up to the hype! Crunchy, packed with flavor, and not too oily. I also liked their mango lassi; it was refreshing and not overly sweet. The casual setup is perfect for a quick bite or takeaway. The staff were helpful and polite, making the experience enjoyable. I love that you can watch your food being prepared in the open kitchen. I can’t wait to order again! " (*Curated Review*)

" This Indian restaurant absolutely blew me away! The flavor profiles in each dish were incredible. From the tandoori chicken to the garlic naan, everything was fresh and exquisitely prepared. I love how they emphasize the traditional methods; it makes the food feel authentic. The only downside is that the seating is limited, but that didn't stop me from enjoying my meal thoroughly. I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone craving Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Ekta during a food tour, and it left such a lasting impression! The experience felt authentic right from the start: warm welcomes and a tempting menu. I indulged in some palak paneer and a mango lassi that was creamy and delicious. The spices made the meal feel wholesome. Although the seating is minimal, I felt comfortable grabbing my meal and continuing with my day. Surely one of my new favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Ekta last week, and it turned out to be a great experience! Everyone found something they liked. The kids enjoyed the butter chicken, while I had the lamb tikka, which I found very tender and flavorful. The service was fantastic; our server made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant has a casual vibe, making it suitable for families and groups. We look forward to our next visit to try even more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Ekta given the reviews, and while it was good, it didn't entirely hit the mark for me. The chicken tikka masala was okay but tasted a bit sweeter than what I'm used to. I did appreciate the generous portions offered, and the naan was soft and delicious. The atmosphere was quite casual since it is mainly a takeout place. Service was friendly, which is a plus. Overall, I'd say it's worth a visit, but just set your expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
