" I stopped by for a quick lunch with a friend who insisted we try the chicken korma. It was creamy and delicious, but the spice level was toned down for my palate. Still, I enjoyed the food a lot. The ambiance was casual, and I liked the large windows which made the space bright. If you seek authenticity, you might want to ask the chef about customizing the spice levels - I wish I had! " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe is a lovely hidden treasure! I enjoyed the authentic Indian dishes like biryani and naan, while my partner tried Mediterranean options. We've been here twice and have not been disappointed yet. The owner is engaged and makes guests feel special. The atmosphere is casual, perfect for lunchtime or a relaxed dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! The service was immediate and very attentive. I had the vegan biryani, and its fragrance was enticing, but the flavor was lacking. The chai made up for it though; it was probably the best I’ve ever had. If I come back, I’ll try something else as the food has potential based on what others were enjoying around me. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had an enjoyable meal, I felt that the flavors were a bit off. The biryani was good but lacked the exciting spices that should characterize the dish. The service was nice, but I expected a little more interaction from the owner given the reputation. Not bad overall, but just not quite what I was hoping for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I can say I loved this restaurant for its unique offerings. The mix of flavors from both cuisines is executed wonderfully, and I can’t rave enough about the freshness of the ingredients utilized in the dishes. I really appreciated the personal touch from the owner as he served us and explained some of his favorite dishes. I’ll be bringing more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's tough to find authentic Indian cuisine in small towns like Lynchburg, but Hot & Cold Cafe does a commendable job! The meats are cooked perfectly and paired with delightful rice dishes that complemented the spices. The service was prompt and the atmosphere tranquil; they even have board games! I will definitely revisit for a cozy date night with friends or my partner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought a few friends to Hot & Cold Cafe last week, and we had an incredible experience. The owner, Chef Uday, was super friendly and spent time explaining the dishes to us. I ordered the Karahi chicken, and it was the best version of this dish I've ever had! The spices were on point, and it was nice to have that option paired with a fresh salad. Everyone left happy and satisfied, saying they wanted to return soon. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
