"We settled in and started with samosas as our appetizer. The crust of each samosa was a perfect golden brown and not overcooked, which was a promising sign. The potato filling was lightly seasoned and tasted fantastic—I would definitely order that again! For our main course, we chose Saag Paneer, Daal Makhani, and a basket of four vegetarian naans. We requested that our food be prepared medium hot. While the Daal and Saag Paneer were delicious, they could have used a bit more heat; I’ll need to ask them to spice it up a bit next time. Our bread basket included fenugreek (methi) naan, aloo paratha, hara bhara (green) naan, and pezaa naan. The first three were simply delightful—I could have been completely satisfied with just those for my meal. However, I wasn't fond of the pezaa naan, which includes cheese, onions, and dried fruits; it had an overpowering onion taste, so I won’t be ordering that again. While we were dining, two ladies at the next table noticed our order and struck up a conversation; they turned out to be regulars at this restaurant. They agreed that the food is generally served mild and could benefit from a bit of extra spice. Overall, I highly recommend this place. It’s definitely worth multiple visits and is one of the best spots to experience Indian flavors. I’m even considering catering food from here for my future parties!"

"Today was my first visit to Brar's. The front window of the restaurant proclaims in foot-high letters that they have a lunch buffet 6 days a week. You are meant to take this as an inside joke. There is no buffet. Maybe there used to be one before COVID changed the world, but there isn't a buffet now. Laugh move on. I don't claim to be any sort of expert on Indian cuisine, so I asked our waitress what she might recommend. She suggested the thali since it has a variety of items so you can sample a few things. We got the non-vegetarian choice. When it arrived, my inexperienced eye told me this wasn't very much food. I wasn't very much correct. It was plenty. My lunch partner took some of his home. I don't think I will be eating again today. We were offered a spiciness level on a scale of 1-6. I've had experiences with Chinese restaurants where I ask for spicy, no really, extra spicy, but what I get instead is bland I have to kick it up with some hot sauce after the fact. So I was hopeful that 5 would do the trick here. It did. This lit up my taste buds quite nicely. I have friends who would run screaming from this but I loved it. With the sorry state of affairs in the world as it now is, it must be a tough go to keep a restaurant operating. Over the course of our lunch, the place got maybe half full. I'm perhaps being a bit generous with that estimate. It's a shame. This place deserves to stick around for a long time. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious food. Not McCookieCutter slop. Go there. You'll be glad you did."
