" Last night, I decided to have a family dinner at Ayini after a friend recommended the place. We ordered a variety of dishes including the mutton biryani, butter chicken, and a few vegetarian options. I must say, the flavors were delightful! The mutton biryani was packed with spices and a generous amount of tender meat, while the butter chicken was creamy and satisfying. Service was polite, though a bit slow as they were quite busy. Overall, great experience and I will return to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! The experience I had at Ayini was fantastic. The ambiance was perfect, with a bright and lively atmosphere, making it a great place to eat with friends. The food was well-cooked, and I am particularly fond of their garlic naan! I felt you get what you pay for. The only downside was the wait when I arrived during peak hours, but the wait was well worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have ordered from Ayini a few times and the food has always been good. My favorites are their mutton rolls and masala dosa. Food takes a bit longer during weekends but I love the flavors and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic South Asian meals. The only downside is the limited seating space, which can lead to long waits during busy hours. Overall, worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I stepped inside Ayini, it felt cozy and inviting. The aroma of spices filled the air. I tried their thali, and it was a nice assortment of flavors, though I found some items could have used more seasoning. That said, it was definitely good value for money and I enjoyed the friendly service. I would try to come back and sample different dishes on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! The samosas we ordered as a start were crispy with a warm filling, just the way I like them. For the main course, I went with their signature butter chicken which was rich and fragrant, and the accompanying naan complemented it well. The only downside was that the meal felt a bit heavy, but that's a minor issue. I would come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations coming to Ayini and thankfully, it did not disappoint. Their masala dosa is hands down one of the best I’ve had outside of India. The chutneys were fresh and delicious as well. The overall experience was great; service was quick, and the cozy atmosphere made for a lovely meal. I will surely be coming back with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a regular at Ayini and let me tell you, you cannot beat their weekend dosa buffet! The selection is large, and everything is freshly made. Their medhu vada is crispy, and the variety of chutneys pairs well with the dosas. The only downside has been the long wait times, especially during busy hours. However, the quality of the food makes it worth the wait. I recommend getting there early! " (*Curated Review*)
