Description

Aahar has garnered a reputation for its extensive menu and vibrant atmosphere, leaving many diners satisfied with flavorful dishes and attentive service. Guests often rave about the tender, well-spiced meats and generous portions, particularly enjoying favorites like saag paneer and chicken shashlik. However, not all experiences have been positive; several patrons report inconsistencies in food quality, with instances of overcooked or bland offerings and perplexing service interactions. While most diners appreciate the warm hospitality, a few unfortunate encounters highlight the restaurant's need for improvement. Overall, Aahar remains a contender for authentic Indian cuisine worth exploring.

Terrible experience. Food was uneatable, the meat hard and overdried in all the 6 dishes we ordered. Like shoe soles. The sevice got loud and aggresive when we complained about the food. It was so terrible in every aspect, that the mood for the proposal, that was planned there, was postponed to another day and onother place. Very disappointing!

Went to Aahar for a meal with a party of 5 and most of the meal was enjoyable.However my tandoori starter was really bland and very overcooked which I informed them of.Asked for chicken kolapuri but unfortunately it came as chicken tikka kolapuri and it was very salty.It stated on the menu that the chicken was marinated but I didn’t think it meant chicken tikka which I don’t like in a curry but this was probably my mistake.Overall certainly not as good as previous visits at all.

Been a couple times to sit down, plus a few takeaways. Service is always top class, polite and timely. Food is VERY nice, hot, fresh and loaded with flavour. Portion sizes are perfect too. By far the best in the area out of all the ones we've been too. They are a v.small amout pricier than some others, but it's worth it. Also, you know how popular a business is when their restaurant is packed out, like it was yesterday. Solid 9.5/10 imo.

The food is fantastic, the service is excellent, and it's even better when enjoyed with a wonderful group of friends.
