" I'll admit, I had high expectations, and Apna Kitchen lived up to them. The samosas were fried to perfection, and the garlic naan was a delight! The only complaint I would have is that during my last visit, the food seemed a bit less spicy than what I'm used to. I mentioned this to the staff, and they seemed willing to accommodate spice levels on future visits. Overall, a great experience with friendly service! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my time at Apna Kitchen! I went in for some groceries and ended up trying a few dishes from their cafe. The paneer pakoras were crispy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The staff was friendly and checked in frequently to see if I needed anything. The only downside was the limited seating; it can get crowded pretty quickly. But that didn't take away from the overall experience. I’ll be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a whim, I decided to pop into Apna Kitchen while running errands, and I’m glad I did! The samosas were delicious, paired perfectly with chutney. I was also pleased with the cleanliness of the store, as they seemed to take hygiene seriously. However, service could be slow during busy times. Overall, a lovely experience, and I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes – hoping their thali is as good as the appetizers! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I were eager to try Apna Kitchen after hearing so much buzz. We indulged in the chaat and truly, it was divine. The unique flavors brought back memories of street food in India! Unfortunately, the cleanliness left a bit to be desired – the tables could be cleaned more regularly. Still, the authentic taste of the food made up for it, and we plan to return again soon. If they can improve the overall ambiance, this could be a five-star spot easily. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Apna Kitchen with a friend hoping to find a great deal on groceries and some tasty takeout. The grocery selection was good, but the service in the cafe felt a bit disorganized. My meal came out slower than anticipated. When my food did arrive, the paneer came in larger portions than I expected, so I was happy to share. Overall, the taste was authentic! I just wish the waiting experience improved for a better dining vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been here a few times now, and each visit gets better! The butter chicken is to die for, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes. The staff is always welcoming, and the ambiance is inviting. The only downside I've noticed is that sometimes the wait for food can be a bit long during peak hours. However, the great taste makes it worth the wait. Will definitely keep coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean Apna Kitchen is. The staff greeted us warmly and took our orders promptly. I tried their thali, and it was just like having a home-cooked meal. Each dish was flavorful without being overwhelming, and the dessert was the cherry on top! While the atmosphere was nice, it felt more like a grocery store than a full-on restaurant, but that’s completely fine for a quick bite. Highly recommend the malpua! " (*Curated Review*)
