" What an experience! Besharam combines high-end dining with unique and authentic Indian flavors. We had a large party so we chose the tasting menu, and boy was it a feast! From the delicious khasta to the rich masala paneer, every dish was a work of art. The atmosphere is lively and the staff made sure to accommodate our dietary preferences without any fuss. I can't wait to go back—definitely a place worth traveling to for quality food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Besharam is another one of those hyped restaurants that didn’t quite live up to my expectations. While the interior was charming and the Gujarati-inspired menu certainly appealing, I found that some dishes, particularly the pav bhaji puff, didn’t pack the flavor punch I was hoping for. The service, while friendly, was quite slow, which made the dining experience feel like it dragged on a bit. It may be worth visiting for their unique cocktails, which were the highlight of my meal. Still, I expected a higher level of authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Besharam on a recommendation and was not disappointed! The food was full of flavor and we tried a lot from the menu; their garlic naan is a must-have! The service felt very personalized. The drinks were creative and interesting with a lovely atmosphere that just enhances the experience. The prices could be slightly lower, but the quality warranted what we paid. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I was not expecting Besharam to be this good. From start to finish, our dining experience was phenomenal. I loved the drunken pani puri—it was such a great twist on a classic dish! The ambiance is alive with art and color. The staff was attentive and genuinely invested in making our experience enjoyable. The only downside was the pricey menu; however, the quality of the food was worth it. I left very satisfied and will be spreading the word about this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been to many Indian restaurants, Besharam stands out with its unique flavor profiles and contemporary twists on traditional dishes. The décor is vibrant and eye-catching, but I did find the service a bit slow. Still, the friendly staff tried to make up for the wait and provided helpful recommendations. The flavors were quite exceptional, especially the garlic naan! It's a wonderful place to explore if you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in the Indian cuisine space. " (*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*)
