" Dhamaal offers a unique spin on traditional Indian dishes, which I found both intriguing and delightful. While I enjoyed the eclectic twist, I felt a deep craving for authentic spiciness that defined Indian cuisine. My recommendation? Stick with the classics for a flavor-packed experience. The ambiance is lovely, and staff was attentive. Would return to try something else! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Dhamaal! Each dish we tried was beautifully presented and flavorful. The atmosphere buzzed with energy, making for a fun night out. Only downside was parking, as the nearby lots were busy. The service staff treated us warmly, we appreciated their expertise and recommendations. Looking forward to returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dhamaal is a great addition to Montclair’s dining scene! Enjoyed a delightful meal there recently; the decor is vibrant and captures a contemporary Indian vibe. Food-wise, the paneer bhurji tacos were a refreshing surprise, though I found the main dishes slightly average. Service staff were always eager to help, adding to the enjoyable visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended my friend's birthday dinner here, and it was an amazing culinary experience! The atmosphere was vibrant, and we were seated promptly. We ordered an array of dishes to share as a group: superb lamb shank, flavorful dal, and their signature biryani—each dish was fantastic! The only downside was the wait time for cocktails; they seemed a bit slow on the drinks. Still, this place topped my list for Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Dhamaal. While the ambiance was lively and the decor modern, I found the food lacked authenticity. The street food we ordered barely resembled what I grew up with. The good news was that the presentation was beautiful and the portions were fair. The servers were friendly and attentive. One highlight was the mango lassi—definitely a refreshing drink! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner with friends at Dhamaal, and I must say, it was an unforgettable evening! The food was exceptional—so many unique twists on classic Indian dishes! The jackfruit kofta was definitely a highlight. However, I felt the music was a bit loud at times, making it hard to converse. But overall, a fantastic experience I would gladly repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Dhamaal after hearing so many great reviews. While the ambiance is lovely, the food fell a bit flat for my taste. I ordered the lamb curry and found it to be decent but lacking in depth. However, my husband loved his chicken tikka masala. It may just be about personal preference regarding spices. The service was great, so I may return to try other options. " (*Curated Review*)
