The food here is high-quality and tasty, and the blue interior is cute. The staff is very friendly too! However, it was not worth the $150 we ended up spending for two drinks, two apps, two mains and 1 dessert. Their drinks menu is limited and they do not have a cocktail menu. You can ask for something from their limited bar. All the seating is bar seating of high top, so it’s not an ideal place for a romantic date. The staff also did not seem to communicate very well with each other, we had multiple people coming over to take our order even when we just ordered from someone else. Overall, food is good but the experience mediocre.

I was really disappointed with the food here. I tried both the Andhra Veg Curry and the Andhra Chicken Curry, and neither came close to what I expected. Both were unusually sweet and completely lacked flavor — nothing like authentic Andhra cuisine.
The only redeeming quality was the takeout packaging — the reusable bag kept the food hot and is actually quite nice. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make up for the taste or justify the high prices. Overall, not worth the money.

We have been eating Chef Prasad’s food since we moved here 10-years ago. It’s always been amazing and last year he has started chef collaborations, that fuse different culinary styles. The first one we went to was Italian + Indian and the dishes were mind-blowing. The tickets are fairly expensive, but it’s worth every cent. It include canapés, 5 courses, the drinks flow and you get to meet like-minded foodies. If you haven’t checked it out already – don’t miss out by visiting his website.

Normally the food is good, but what is consistently poor is how long the take to order take out or delivery. Tonight was exceptionally poor. I wouldn’t normally take the time, but when they say 20-30 minutes and it takes an hour and a half, it’s simply not right. They do this quite a bit. The food tonight wasn’t a fair representation of what they normally produce, but it wasn’t worth paying a premium.
So, be aware and get ready to wait.

Chef Prassad creates magic in the kitchen. His style of food brings out the many flavors found in Indian cuisine. All good dishes are freshly made and serviced with perfect amount of spices.

Dishes had nice flavor and presentation was appealing. Chicken Biryani was light on Chicken. Sag was tasty but again light on Chicken. Quantities were sufficient. Waite staff was attentive.

Disgraceful ! I ordered my food 90 minutes ago and I just got notified that the deliver person ran into an issue.
That is a lie.
I believe the restaurant just disregarded my order and was too lazy and did not care to notify uber eats.
I will never order from there or go there again.
The food when dining in is over priced and incredibly mediocre.
Save yourself a headache and do not bother. No idea how this place has 4.4 stars.

Short staffed, average food, not worthy of another visit.
The appetizer we ordered was the Tandoori Chicken Tikka, which was the best dish of the evening. We also ordered Andhra Chicken, which was too mild and lacked flavor, Dal Makhni which was excessively sweet and Paneer Makhni was definitely better than the Dal and Chicken.
The service was ok considering there was only the bartender and one more guy taking care of all the guests at the Bar and in the dining area. We were not asked the spice level for the food and everything came out mild and sweet.
Some other items on the menu look promising but considering our experience last night, I don’t think we will be paying it a second visit.

We’ve been regulars at Chef Prasad’s and Thali for the past 20 years, and the food has been authentic and superb EVERY single time. The hospitality from Chef Prasad and each member of his team also has been so without exception. (Photo shows a recent very tasty, healthy dessert.)

Quaint spot with eat-in kitchen vibes and wonderful food. The Saag Paneer was very flavorful and the Garlic Naan was freshly made. Service was courteous and attentive. Came here on a Saturday and was able to get a table quickly without a reservation. Will be back!
