" I had the pleasure of dining at Awara recently and I must say, the experience was delightful! The atmosphere was trendy yet cozy, perfect for a family dinner or a night out with friends. We began with the Gobi Manchurian, which had just the right amount of spice and crispiness. For mains, I went with the Butter Chicken and garlic naan. Both dishes were satisfying and had vibrant flavors that reminded me of dishes from India. My only complaint would be that the service was a little slow during peak hours, but the staff was friendly and attentive. All in all, a great dining experience that I would definitely recommend to fellow Indian cuisine lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I thought I would try Awara based on the rave reviews, but my experience was bittersweet. I loved the colorful decor which set the mood right away! Unfortunately, while the starters were good, the main courses didn’t live up to the expectation—specifically, the dal just lacked the depth of flavor. Though the service was good and attentive, I left feeling somewhat disappointed. I may give it another chance, hoping for a better dish next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Indian expatriate, I was thrilled to discover Awara. The ambiance feels reminiscent of India, with its blend of traditional art and modern elements. Each bite of the Bhindi Masala truly transported me back home. The flavors were authentic, and the portion sizes were generous. Our server was very polite and attended to us well. Overall, I had an unforgettable experience and will definitely return with friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a big fan of Indian food, I was eager to try Awara. The moment I stepped inside, the lively decor made my spirits lift! I ordered the Tandoori platter, which was cooked beautifully, though I think the marinade could have been more pronounced. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, but there were minor missteps concerning timings that affected our meal. The dessert menu caught my eye, especially after such a satisfying meal. Worth a visit, but I hope for more flavor in my future meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last evening at Awara was a mixed bag. The ambiance screams modern India, with its vibrant decor and inviting setup. However, when it came to the food, I felt it was hit or miss. The Gobi Manchurian was fantastic - crispy and flavorful. But the Chicken Tikka was a letdown; it was overcooked and lacked that punchy taste I was hoping for. The service was decent but could use some enhancement, especially during busy hours. I would consider coming back to try different items on the menu but not entirely sure if it would be a regular spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Awara for the first time and was quite eager to try their famed Butter Chicken and Biryani. The flavors did not disappoint! However, the service was slower than expected, which was a bit frustrating. The ambiance is chic with great decor, but the tables felt a little cramped for my liking. Portion sizes could definitely be bigger for the price point. In summary, I enjoyed my meal but do hope for improvement in service next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" To say that our experience at Awara was good would be an understatement! We ordered a variety of dishes to share— the Tandoori Chicken was excellent, and everything tasted so fresh. The decor of the restaurant is splendidly styled, creating an inviting atmosphere. Our server was friendly and checked in on us often. A very enjoyable outing, I can see us returning with family for more tasting! " (*Curated Review*)
