" My family and I tried Essence of Kesar last weekend and had an overall enjoyable experience. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and set a perfect tone for dinner. We ordered several appetizers, and though they were tasty, some lacked in portion size for the price. The main courses were great, and the kids devoured the chicken tikka. We appreciated the staff's friendliness but would love to see better coordination among them. Worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my first visit, Essence of Kesar amazed me with its high-quality food and beautiful presentation. Their specialization in fusion dishes, like the truffle pav bhaji, added an exciting twist, though I felt the flavors were slightly toned down compared to traditional Indian food. Despite some minor mishaps in service, the overall experience was positive, and I look forward to coming back to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Essence of Kesar brings a fresh twist to Indian cuisine! The innovative dishes were impressive, and I particularly enjoyed the fusion elements like the kale chaat. The place was buzzing with energy, and the staff was super friendly. However, I found the portions to be on the smaller side for the premium prices. Nevertheless, the outstanding flavors and aesthetic plating more than made up for it. I can't wait to share this find with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not only did Essence of Kesar exceed my expectations with its food, but their ambience was equally remarkable! Wow, the lamb korma left a lasting impression; it was rich without being overwhelming. The naan was fluffy and complemented every dish beautifully. The wait staff were friendly, but it took a while to get our drinks, which is something I hope they improve as the place gets busier. Still, it's a spot worth revisiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Essence of Kesar on a friend's recommendation. What a treat! Upon entering, the ambiance set a cozy mood for our group. The food was authentic, notably the subzi dum biryani, which had a perfect balance of spices! Our server was attentive and made sure our drinks were always filled. We thought the portions were reasonably hearty for the price. Definitely a place to check out for Indian food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Essence of Kesar has quickly become a favorite of mine. I love the decor and how it creates a festive atmosphere. Their menu features a mix of traditional and modern dishes, which were generally enjoyable. We did face an issue with receiving the wrong dish, which caused a delay, but the staff offered an apology and resolved the situation. Overall, a very good experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" A true gem in our neighborhood! Essence of Kesar surpassed my expectations with their innovative cuisine and inviting atmosphere. I enjoyed the saffron-infused drinks, a perfect compliment to our meal. We noticed prices were a bit high, but the authenticity of flavors makes it justifiable. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes from their enticing menu! " (*Curated Review*)
