" Honestly, didn’t live up to the hype I was expecting. The Biryani had a nice flavor, but the rice was a bit undercooked. The food was adequate but didn’t blow me away. I don’t think I’d recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at DABBAWALA today. I ordered the Lamb Curry and found it to be overly salty, making it nearly inedible. While the appetizer was decent, the main dish didn't meet my expectations. Additionally, the staff didn't seem very attentive. I really wanted to like it, but I left feeling unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered DABBAWALA and I’m so glad I did! The vegetarian dishes are absolutely delightful, reminding me of my grandmother’s cooking. The service was attentive, and I didn’t have to wait long for my order. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming little place with lovely decor. The food took some time to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. I found the Chicken Korma to be rich and satisfying. Service was friendly overall but a bit slow during peak hours. I’d recommend it to locals. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a bad experience with my order, as part of the meal was missing when I got home. The food that I received was decent but not worth the hassle. I don’t think I’d come back anytime soon unless they fix their order accuracy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great lunch at DABBAWALA! Every dish I tasted was delightful, especially the Butter Chicken which was rich and flavorful. The staff was very accommodating too. I will be bringing my friends here for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not quite what I expected. The food was average. I tried their Tikka Masala, which was decent but not the best I’ve had. The ambiance is lacking in charm, and the service was merely okay. I probably won’t come back here. " (*Curated Review*)
