Absolutely delicious—this place is a must-try. Every dish showed the chef’s passion for authentic Indian flavors, beautifully fused with a modern cocktail-night vibe. Their desserts and cocktails are a highlight.
Service & Management: 0/5
Sadly, the management ruined what could have been a perfect evening. My sister and I visited on a freezing winter night in NYC (December 2024) with a small, securely wrapped bag of lemons in our tote. Despite our confirmed reservation, the receptionist rudely assumed we intended to eat outside food and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome from the start.
The tasting menu we ordered was incredible, but we were hurried to place our order and finish quickly because the kitchen was “closing soon.” If the restaurant plans to close, why accept reservations for that time? The entire dinner felt rushed.
After paying, we waited inside for our cab, only to be asked to step out into sub-zero temperatures so they could lock up. It was one of the coldest nights of the season.
I genuinely feel bad for the chef—their exceptional culinary talent deserves management that respects guests and complements the food. The kitchen is brilliant, but the hospitality was so poor it overshadowed the meal.
Since it’s very popular, I recommend making a reservation to ensure you get a table. It fills up quickly, especially on weekends!
The menu features a nice selection of Indian dishes. It’s not too big, which is great because everything feels well thought out. There are plenty of tasty vegetarian options, as well as delicious choices for chicken, seafood, and red meat. The flavors are fantastic, and the food isn’t overly spicy, making it enjoyable for everyone.
Overall, Baar Baar is an excellent place for celebrating special moments with good food in a beautiful setting. Whether you love Indian food or are trying it for the first time, you won’t be disappointed. Just remember to book your reservation!
The ambience of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a celebration. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m glad we chose Baar Baar for such a special occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and flavorful dining experience in NYC!
For large plates we had vegetable+ ricotta kofta, malai paneer pinwheel & dal makhni. All 3 dishes were with just the right amount of flavours & spice!! For desserts we ordered basque cheesecake & stone fruit cassata (my favourite)
Baar baar food was indulgent & lip smacking! I am sure the non- vegetarian dishes are equally tasty. Look forward to more trips to the restaurant!
The Kairi Mule and Hyderabad Gimlet were our favorites. The Chai Negroni is too bitter and avoidable, and Mumbai Margarita is quite good too.
Although all of the Indian dishes were good (we ordered predominantly vegetarian food), we weren’t wowed by any dish per se.
Looking forward to being back and trying their non-vegetarian fare, and other cocktails!
Update: We visited Baar Baar for one of its signature weekend brunches with the DJ belting out popular Bollywood music. While the overall experience was positive, no single dish stood out to us. Come for the hospitable service and the wonderful vibe, and for decent food.
