" I had high hopes for Batika given the reviews, but my experience was average. The butter chicken was good, but the palak paneer didn't taste as fresh as I expected. Service was decent, though the staff could be more attentive. The outdoor patio is charming, but I would like to see better food consistency across visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed by my experience at Batika. The chicken tikka masala was bland, and the service felt rushed. The outdoor seating was nice but didn’t make up for the underwhelming food. I had heard great things but I left feeling disappointed. I don’t think I would choose to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great find! I thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience at Batika. The outdoor seating is a lovely touch, and I was pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian options available. The staff were kind and made sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend stopping by for a casual dinner with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor—the lamb vindaloo was particularly spicy and delicious, just as I like it. The service was outstanding; the staff was genuinely warm and friendly. I really appreciated the cozy atmosphere, perfect for a casual dinner with friends. I highly recommend the samosas as an appetizer—they're authentic and crispy! Can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Batika. The food was flavorful and authentic; I particularly liked the Achari Eggplant. The outdoor seating is a great setup. I felt the service could be improved as we had to wait longer than expected for our food. Still, I would recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit and I was blown away! The samosas were crispy, and the curry was well-balanced. The restaurant does a great job maintaining a cozy atmosphere. Service was attentive, although we did wait quite a while for our check. Overall, I loved the experience and will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing visit. While the ambiance is cute and relaxed, I had high expectations for the food. The lamb curry lacked a rich flavor, and the biryani didn't seem to have the right spices. I noticed that the service was a bit slow, and it took quite a while to get our food. Not sure if I'd return after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)
