" I had high hopes for Aarkul since it opened recently and overall, it did not disappoint. The food was flavorful and came in generous portions. I particularly enjoyed the vegetable biryani, which was packed with various spices and ingredients. The only downside was the waiting time for service; it took a little longer than expected to get our order taken initially. But the staff was friendly and attentive once we were seated. I’ll definitely give them another shot and hope for a smoother experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aarkul is a gem in the Cedar area. The food is excellent, particularly the goat curry which is beautifully spiced and tender. I also appreciated that they accommodate dietary preferences - my vegan friend enjoyed her meal that was adapted specially for her. The restaurant took care to ensure everything was prepared just right. The layout is spacious, and it exudes a welcoming vibe. If you haven't visited yet, you are truly missing out on a culinary delight! I'll be returning for sure to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" AARKUL offers a unique and rich dining experience showcasing authentic Indian cuisine. I had the pleasure of trying their korma, which was beautifully spiced and had a mild flavor that appealed to my palate. The atmosphere was vibrant, coupled with attentive staff who were eager to help with recommendations. Portions are ample, allowing for shared dining. It’s a great place to gather with friends and explore an array of flavors together. I suggest everyone in the area to give this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for Indian food! I loved the variety offered on the menu, from curries to appetizers. Everything we ordered was flavorful. The dining atmosphere was chic yet comfortable. The wait staff were exceptionally polite and catered to our requests promptly. The only small drawback was that it felt a bit crowded during peak hours. Nonetheless, I will certainly return to enjoy another meal there and bring some friends along. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to try AARKUL after reading the reviews - and we were not disappointed. Everything from the ambiance to the flavors was lovely. We had the thali set, which gave us a little taste of everything. The quantity was more than enough, and we left feeling delighted. The only complaint was one dish was slightly cooler than the rest, but the flavor was on point. Would definitely come back for another date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining at Aarkul, and I must say it was worth the visit! The food was flavorful, especially the vegetarian curries. However, we encountered a small hiccup with our order, which they rectified almost immediately. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was inviting, and the portions were satisfactory for the price. I would return to try out more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was truly blown away by my experience at AARKUL! As someone who has traveled extensively throughout India, I can say the flavors were spot on. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, and the naan was served warm and fluffy. The service was attentive without being intrusive, which is always a plus. I highly recommend the lamb korma, it was succulent and perfectly spiced. Spent an enjoyable evening there and will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
