Downtown Dhaba - Westwood

Amazing I've been on a diet Will be a regular when finished Thank you

WOW! The delicious food at Downtown Dhābā was absolutely mouthwatering. Our host, Säntänä, was incredibly gracious and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. He even prepared fresh Indian tea for us. Thank you! I highly recommend this place!

The restaurant offers good quality food. The dishes are authentically rooted but also have their own unique twists. The Samosa Chat reminded me a lot of what I used to enjoy from street vendors when I lived abroad. I'm still on the hunt for that perfect bowl of chole that captures the essence of street food. The vindaloo was outstanding, and the Gosht was packed with flavor; the lamb had the ideal texture and thickness, though I prefer it thinner, like gyro meat. The prawns were just okay. I suspect they would have tasted better if I had them fresh, as some dishes really don’t hold up well after 20-30 minutes in the car, especially shrimp. Overall, the meal was very flavorful, and the portion sizes were decent for the price, especially for delivery. I would definitely order from here again.

The buffet is back! We visited DD for the first time since the pandemic began and were thrilled to find their buffet section open for weekend lunch. The selection was exceptional, with everything tasting absolutely delicious. They offered chicken biryani, crushed eggplant, chicken tikka masala, fish, lamb, and Tandoori chicken. Each dish was freshly prepared and kept warm. It was wonderful to see that DD has not only survived the pandemic but has returned to its former glory. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here whenever I have cravings for Indian food. The ambiance is great, and the service was outstanding. They were well-prepared for lunchtime. The buffet featured options like chicken biryani, goat curry, fish curry, and chicken tikka masala, along with vibrant wipers and dal for vegetarian diners.

This is the best chai I've ever had! I absolutely love the idli and masala dosa. It's my favorite Indian restaurant!
