" I had dinner at Barshala last Friday, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was nice, with soft music and an inviting decor. I ordered the Amritsari fish—which was crispy and seasoned to perfection—along with garlic naan. However, the portion of the fish was on the smaller side compared to other places I’ve been to. The service was good, with attentive staff who filled my water glass regularly. Overall, it was a positive experience, but I wish the portions were larger. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience I had at Barshala was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was welcoming and fun. The lamps were dimmed just right, creating a cozy atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes such as Achari paneer tikka and biryani, and each was better than the last! The flavors were authentic, and it felt like a true taste of India. The only issue was that it got a bit busy, so we waited for service occasionally. Overall, highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Barshala several times now, and I sincerely think it's one of the best places for Indian food in Hamilton. They nailed the flavors in each dish. The lamb curry was phenomenal, so tender and paired well with their fresh naan. However, on my last visit, I noticed the service was quite slow, and my drinks took longer than expected. Still, it was worth it for the food. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Barshala was a mixed bag. The decor was vibrant, breathing life into an otherwise typical Indian restaurant. I tried the Kadai chicken, which was delicious and packed with flavor; however, the portion felt a bit small given the price. I found the service to be rather slow, which detracted from my overall experience. I think with some improvements in the service speed, this could be a fantastic place to dine. Overall, I would rate my visit a 3.5. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most wonderful dining experience at Barshala! The ambiance was perfect for a cozy dinner, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the veg steam momos, and they were simply delightful—perfectly spiced and served with tangy chutney. For my main course, I tried the butter chicken and garlic naan, and I was blown away by the flavors! The chicken was tender and the gravy was rich and creamy. Overall, I would rate this experience a solid 5 out of 5. I cannot wait to come back and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a not-so-great experience at Barshala. The ambiance was lively, but unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. The garlic naan was burnt, and the chicken tikka was bland. I attempted to provide feedback to the server, but I felt disregarded. It’s unfortunate, as I had high hopes based on previous reviews. I want to believe that my experience was an anomaly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Barshala has become a favorite for Indian food in Hamilton! I’ve been here several times now, and the food's always been incredible. The flavors are authentic, and I’ve enjoyed everything from curry to naan! Their hospitality is also commendable, and it makes each visit pleasant. I can't get enough of their chefs’ lovely creations! " (*Curated Review*)
