" I feel quite indifferent about my visit to Mehfil Bistro. The food was underwhelming, especially the chicken biryani, which was bland. The service was decent, no complaints there, but nothing stood out either. The restaurant's decor was a bit lackluster, and overall, it didn’t feel like a special night out. Maybe it was an off day, but I wouldn’t be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was highly anticipating my visit to Mehfil Bistro, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The chicken tikka was good, but definitely not the best I’ve had. The service was friendly, yet quite slow. I appreciated the warm ambiance, but I think they need to focus on a more consistent flavor profile across their menu items. I’d consider trying it again, but only if I had someone else to recommend dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Mehfil Bistro, I finally made a trip there. Though the wait for food was longer than expected, every bite was worth it. I ordered the dal makhani, and it was rich and buttery, signaling real expertise in preparing traditional Indian dishes. However, the kids' menu could use more variety. The atmosphere was warm, and the staff was friendly, so I’d definitely give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" On our recent trip to Truckee, we were in search of tasty Indian food and we found Mehfil Bistro. After looking at the reviews, our expectations were high. Each one of us ordered different dishes so we could share, which included lamb vindaloo, paneer tikka, and a variety of naan. The flavors were vibrant and distinct, and the service was prompt and courteous. I must say the lamb was expertly spiced – definitely one of the best I've had! The only downside was that it’s a bit pricey, but in my opinion, worth every penny for the delectable meal. Would recommend this restaurant to any Indian food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my stay in Truckee, I had to try Mehfil Bistro based on strong recommendations. The atmosphere was relaxed, perfect for families. I was impressed with the variety on the menu, as I was able to try some lesser-known Indian dishes. However, I felt the food was somewhat bland, particularly the chicken curry. The prices were alright, but the portions were small for what we got. Overall, a decent visit, but I think I’ll explore other places next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Mehfil Bistro was quite disappointing. While the ambiance was decent, the food lacked the authenticity I anticipated. My chicken biryani was underwhelming with soggy rice and minimal flavor. Service left much to be desired, as we had to wait excessively for our orders, and when they arrived, the portions didn’t justify the prices. I don’t think I’d return. There are better options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Where has this restaurant been hiding? My visit to Mehfil Bistro was outstanding! From the ambience to the flavor explosion my taste buds experienced, it was just perfect. The midweek crowd was manageable, and we received our food in good time. I had the butter chicken paired with garlic naan and a refreshing mango lassi. Each dish was better than the last, and it felt very authentic, keeping me going back for seconds – highly recommend if looking for a satisfying meal! " (*Curated Review*)
