I had a horrible experience after buying $70 worth of food only to realize the food wasnt fresh and had thrown up the rest og the food by night: (
Only the naan was fresh but the veggie dishes were extremely over seasoned and the tandoori chicken was not done and practically raw in the middle ..i will not be going there again ! Thats for surr
The food was average. It was not bad but I wouldn't say the most delicious either since the chicken was a bit dry. Although the serving size was ample. The service itself was quick and we were seated quickly. We ate on the patio as the inside was nothing too special. The alcohol was heavily promoted here as you'll need it to enjoy the decor if your inside. When we arrived here we actually thought it was one place but Madras Palace is the next restaurant apparently serving South Indian food, as to where this Banjara is North Indian food. Either way, overall the place was average in terms of all things considered.
This popular Indian restaurant is in the South West corner of Christie Pitts Park. Banjara Indian Cuisine’s offerings are astonishing, featuring 70 items on the a la carte menu! While the patio faces the parking lot, Christie Pitts Park is literally steps away from the restaurant, so there’s no excuse not to venture out into the park after such a wonderful meal.
There’s always a line-up at this Christie Pitts curry house so you know chef Raj Veerella is doing something right. The menu features a mix of traditional North Indian and South Indian recipes made with handpicked spices from the region. The vindaloo is a fiery meat dish (your choice of lamb, beef or goat) simmered with potato in a hot sour sauce that’s sure to alight your senses. There are also plenty of milder meat, seafood and vegetarian options for your less adventurous pals.
Small and quiet, with a unique indoor patio, Banjara almost seems like an awesome apology for the café that previously occupied the space. Trust that any lunch date here will be tasty and satisfying, no matter the diet. The sheer variety of Indian cuisine offered here can keep vegan and vegetarian palates satisfied for years, and the butter chicken is amazing.
