Dinner at Amaara Restaurant was an absolute dream! Ambience? 10/10. Food? 11/10 — every bite was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Their cocktails? A perfect blend — smooth, creative, and seriously good. If you're craving incredible Indian cuisine with an upscale vibe, Amaara is the spot. Highly recommend this gem!

Our evening at Aamara was an unforgettable experience! The exceptional food, with its delightful fusion of flavors, really impressed us! The cocktails were not only unique but also absolutely delicious. Shoutout to the bartender (unfortunately didn’t get his name). The service was top-notch, thanks to our server Anisha, who was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, offering fantastic recommendations. We highly recommend the Hyderabadi chicken biryani – it's a must-try! The restaurant's ambiance is stunning, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable night out. We can’t wait to return!

This restaurant is on a fast track to Michelin guide. A very modern blend of innovative and traditional Indian cuisine is by far the best Indian restaurant I have ever tried. The setup and decoration are amazing, extremely clean, beautiful, and welcoming. The service is friendly and impeccable, tnk you Anisha. The food is outstanding from taste to presentation. I had 24 karat gold-plated lamb chops coming out of smoke! The price is quite acceptable for this quality restaurant! A must go!

We had a great time here. Our server knew everything about the menu and recommended some great drinks. There was an area to hang out coats and a pleasent atmosphere.

This place is incredible. The place is awesome. The food is delicious and the presentation is impeccable. We came here once with a friend and then loved it so much so I did my birthday dinner there with 10 others and we had a fantastic time. Everyone loved all the fancy smoked drinks, the dosa was incredible, and all the lamb and chicken dishes were crazy good. The drinks are also so fun and tasty and the dessert also exceeded expectations! Can’t wait to go again

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart because it’s where my husband and I got married in 2024! From the very beginning, the owner, Thamil, was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly accommodating, meeting with us multiple times to ensure we felt comfortable with every detail of our wedding planning. Since Aamara was a relatively new restaurant at the time, choosing it as our wedding venue (for a 35-person celebration) was a bit of a leap of faith—but they truly exceeded our expectations. While minor hiccups can happen at any event, the team handled everything seamlessly. The staff made the evening so enjoyable, and our guests left on such a high note! One of the things that drew us to Aamara was its elegant and modern ambiance—not your typical Indian restaurant setting. It provided the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and dinner. And then there’s the food—what can I say? It’s phenomenal. Hands down, the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. I’d even compare it to a Michelin-starred experience I had in Dubai. Their butter chicken is a must-try—easily one of their standout dishes. You can tell the chef pours his heart into every plate. I just went back earlier this week and again the food was exceptional! I have probably dined there a few times now and can't wait to return! A huge thank you to the entire Aamara team for making our wedding so special. Whether you're looking for a fantastic dining experience or the perfect place to host an event, Aamara is an exceptional choice!
