" I had an unforgettable birthday dinner at Besharam last weekend! The atmosphere was incredibly lively, which added to the festive mood of the evening. For starters, we opted for the drunken pani puri, which was a fun, albeit slightly misleading take on the classic; I expected more of a kick! The main standout for me was the malai kofta; the flavors were rich and the sauce was perfectly spiced! The service could have been a bit more attentive, especially after we were seated. Despite that, I would gladly return for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the tasting menu and couldn’t have been happier with the experience! Every dish highlighted the creativity and authenticity of Indian cuisine. The flavors were bold yet well balanced, with the addition of rich sauces standing out. Service was very engaging, as if they genuinely wanted us to have a great dining experience. I will be back to explore more of their menu because this unique approach to vegetarian cuisine has won me over! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I was disappointed during my visit to Besharam this time around. The curry was too bland for my tastes and lacked the expected punch. The service was friendly, but we had issues with timing; our food took longer than anticipated without any explanation. I did appreciate the ambiance, but it wasn’t enough to make up for the underwhelming food experience. For a vegetarian place, I expected better flavor overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful visit at Besharam! The chefs work magic with vegetarian ingredients! I was blown away by the variety and creativity in the tasting menu! The drink pairings were done excellently and matched well with the food. The only hiccup was the pacing, which could have been better but the quality of the flavors made up for it. I didn't want my meal to end, and will be raving about this meal for a long time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Besharam exceeded my expectations regarding vegetarian cuisine! I loved the innovative approach that still respects traditional flavors. Every dish was well thought out and left me wanting more. The cocktails are also worth a mention as they blended well with the spicy offerings on the menu! Only downside was that the prices are quite steep; however, the quality compensated for this. I can't wait to share this gem with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pretty excited to try Besharam but came away a bit mixed. The food was generally good, with creative takes on classic Indian dishes. However, I found the portion sizes were on the smaller side, especially for the prices charged. The service also felt a bit disjointed; our waiter seemed more preoccupied than attentive. Overall, I enjoyed the malai kofta and the unique cocktails, but I wish they could address the portion concerns because I left the restaurant feeling a bit hungry. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved dining at Besharam! The vegetarian menu offers a great variety of dishes, many with a modern twist. I particularly enjoyed the khasta served with chutney. The cocktails were very creative and paired well with the spicy dishes. Despite a lively ambiance, I found the service somewhat slow, which detracted a bit from the experience. Overall, though, the food and creativity made it worthwhile, and I can't wait to try their tasting menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)
