I came here to celebrate my birthday. They seated us when half our party got there, which is great. The space is pretty large and the ambiance is cool looking. I liked the blue chairs and the art on the wall and they also have outdoor seating which is first come first serve. What I didn't realize was that they only have set menus for brunch and you have to pay either 30 or 50 for what you get. Of all the food that we got the fish amritsari and the lamb kheema were good.

Everything from the service to the ambiance to the food was top tier. I'm shocked that the Star rating in Yelp isn't above a 4 - while I was worried it would be overhyped, the food exceeded my already high expectations. The diced lamb appetizer was amazing and the chicken in the meat platter practically melted in my mouth. They were also super accommodating with allergies and made sure to clearly separate things out for me. The biryani was overflowing with flavor and the lamb fell right off the bone and was so tender. The drinks were also strong yet delicious!! If you're looking for a fun place to celebrate a special occasion, the staff will also make sure you have an amazing time.

Might be the best Indian food I've ever had! I came to Baar Baar during Restaurant Week and didn't have high expectations, but I was completely blown away. The ambiance is nicely casually relaxed, perfect for a comfortable dining experience. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I started with the dahi puri and pork ribs. The dahi puri was superb--light with a delightful crunch. The pork ribs were incredibly tender and fell right off the bone. For the main course, I had the butter chicken with garlic naan. The butter chicken was delicious, and it was even better when dipped in the naan. It melted in my mouth, with a perfect kick of spice at the end. For dessert, we tried the Mango Chili Sorbet and Coconut Payasam Tres Leches. The mango chili sorbet was refreshingly unique with a touch of spice, while the Coconut Payasam Tres Leches was sweet but not overly so, with a rich coconut flavor. I can't wait to come back here!

I recently visited Bar Bar in New York City and had an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant has a unique charm, especially with its cocktails named after Indian movies, which added a nostalgic touch. We started with the Paneer Tikka as an appetizer, and it was amazing--perfectly seasoned. The entrees were equally impressive, with exquisite flavors that left us satisfied. While our server, a lady, wasn't particularly helpful with the menu, our experience was salvaged by a gentleman who frequently checked on us to ensure the quality of the food and service.Overall, Bar Bar is definitely worth a visit.
