" My visit to Off the Record was quite an adventure! From the moment I walked in, I was taken with the cozy decor. We started our meal with a round of appetizers, including the crispy cauliflower manchurian, which was a hit among my friends. The entrees did take a long time to arrive, and some of us found our curries to be overly spicy for our palate. However, they quickly made it right with complementary drinks and a friendly attitude. All in all, great food but just be cautious of the spice levels! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. I expected the food to be authentic based on the reviews, however, the butter chicken was bland and lacked depth. The service felt rushed, and we often had to ask for the sauces which came late. While the ambiance was lovely, it doesn't make up for the lack of flavor in the food. I might give it another try in the future, but not any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how wonderful my experience was at Off the Record. The butter chicken was exquisite, bursting with flavors that felt genuine and true to its Indian roots. The naan, freshly baked, paired perfectly with the rich gravy. I also enjoyed the goat fry biryani, which had the right amount of spices. The welcoming atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. I can't wait to return with more friends to share this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a regular, I can say Off the Record is a solid choice for Indian cuisine! The flavors are predominantly authentic which I appreciate, the menu contains items that remind me of home. However, last time the service was lacking—took quite some time to get drinks, and some orders were mixed up. I remain hopeful for improvement next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Expectations were high as I had heard a lot about this restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience didn't match. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and it took too long to be seated and served. The butter chicken was not the best I’ve had, rather it tasted more like tomato soup than anything authentic. The ambiance was nice, but the inconsistency in food and service made for a disappointing visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" With all the hype, I finally made it to Off the Record. The atmosphere was lovely, but unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the expectations I had. The portions were decent, however, chicken tikka was more on the sweet side rather than spicy as I had anticipated. The service was nice but slow during peak hours. Overall, a decent visit but not sure I'd rush to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Off the Record has it all! Great atmosphere, tasty food, and decent service. I ordered their special Andhra dishes, both the chicken curry and the goat curry were delightful. I enjoyed my time with friends and I actually plan to organize a gathering here soon. The only downside was the slightly long wait for food during busy hours, but the wait was worthwhile!
