" I enjoyed my meal at Badmaash but wasn’t completely sold on the fusion concept. The dishes were creative but the flavors missed that authentic punch that I'm used to. The service staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was high-energy, perfect for a weekend outing with friends. Overall, if you’re looking for fun dining with Indian-inspired dishes, this is a great spot; if you're after traditional flavors, you may want to look elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite previous reviews, I had a really good experience at Badmaash. The fusion dishes are remarkable, especially the cheese naan which is a must-have. The butter chicken was creamy and full of flavor. I will say that some dishes lean towards a more Americanized flavor profile, but I enjoyed that too. The vibe here is perfect for a night out, and the service was prompt. Prices are a bit high but reflect the good quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a trendy spot with great Indian fusion food, Badmaash is the place to be! The seating is cozy and ideal for small groups. The staff is attentive and always ready to recommend dishes. I particularly enjoyed the chicken tikka poutine and their signature cocktails. The only downside was the price, which felt a bit steep considering the portion size. Overall, a solid experience and I'd come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Badmaash, I was blown away by how delicious the fusion dishes were! We ordered multiple items from the menu and they all exceeded our expectations, especially the fried fish appetizer which had a perfect crunch! The butter chicken samosas were a delight as well. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, making our experience even better. Although the prices are a bit steep, it’s definitely worth it for the quality and creativity of the food. I will absolutely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Badmaash is a trendy spot in downtown LA with a unique concept combining Indian flavors with a modern twist. I went there with high expectations after hearing so much about it. I ordered the fish moilee and chicken saffron curry. They were both good but not spectacular, which left me somewhat disappointed. The ambiance is nice for a casual night out, and the service was decent, though a bit rushed during peak hours. I might consider returning for lunch to avoid the dinner crowds and give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always wanted to try Badmaash, but the prices kept holding me back. Finally, I made a reservation for my birthday, and it was worth every penny! The ambiance was vibrant, and the food was better than expected - the samosas and butter chicken were standout dishes. The only complaint was the wait time for our food to arrive, but the staff was friendly and apologetic about it. I’ll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Badmaash, but I was left rather disappointed. While the location and decor were appealing, the food failed to live up to the hype. I found the chicken tikka bland, and the poutine lacked the authentic smothering of gravy I expected. Just because it's a fusion restaurant doesn't mean flavor should be compromised. I appreciated the friendly service, but I left feeling unsatisfied and I wouldn't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
