" As someone who loves Indian food, I had high expectations for Badmaash but found it lacking. The dishes tasted okay but had a strong American twist which didn't sit well with my traditional taste buds. The staff were friendly and the place has a great ambiance, but for a dining experience focusing on Indian cuisine, I would seek out a more authentic place. Overall, it was passable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I feel like Badmaash tries hard to cater to a broader audience, but at the loss of authentic Indian flavor. The dishes tasted good, but strange compared to traditional dishes I’ve had elsewhere. The service was okay but seemed overwhelmed. I loved the decor and vibe of the restaurant, just wish the food hit harder in terms of authenticity. I might give it another try in a different future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall pleased with my meal at Badmaash! The flavors were good and the combination of modern decor with Indian cuisine added a nice touch. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed. While the prices might be on the higher side, I appreciated the unique twist they put on traditional dishes. If you're in the area, I recommend checking out Badmaash, especially for their creative fusion items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Indian restaurants, but Badmaash is truly extraordinary! The blend of traditional Indian flavors with a modern touch is amazing. The staff was highly accommodating, making our lunch extraordinary. I was particularly taken by their dish variety and creativity. The only minor concern was that some dishes felt slightly untraditional but nevertheless tasty. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Badmaash was mixed. While the fried catfish was excellent, the traditional dishes like butter chicken left me feeling underwhelmed as they didn’t quite meet my expectations in terms of authenticity. The atmosphere was lively, although a bit loud for my taste. Service was prompt but not overly friendly. I might consider giving it another shot but would probably stick to the fusion items that seemed to be their strong suit. " (*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*)
