    Definitely upscale Indian-- heck, they have a 27 page wine list. Wine with Indian? I had a delicious cherry Manhattan. Food was excellent, as was the service and ambiance.

    The ambiance is very nice ~ we eat at Nazara’s about once a month and we usually sit in a booth near the bar (in the side section) and I love looking at and being surrounded by soft lights and beautiful hanging beads. The food has always been delicious there but a few years ago we asked a waiter what was one of his favorite dishes and he recommended the salmon makhini. I want to expand and try other things but after I tried this dish, I never get anything else. To me, it is so miraculously delicious. It is not spicy and has a smooth creamy gravy that envelops a good portion of flaky delicious (not over cooked) salmon. I usually don’t trust others to cook my salmon, but this dish never disappoints!! A+ great!!

    First time dining at this restaurant. We met with dear friends who have dined here in the past. I was worried that the food would be too spicy. It was not. Everything was delicious. We plan on going back

    The food was tasty. We were asked how spicy we wanted our entrees. Both my husband and I said mild and it was still pretty spicy for our tastes.

    Everything about this place is great, most importantly the food. The food portions were good. Cocktails are roughly 75% the cost of an entree and not generous, so, for us, a little pricey. Overall a good time at $140 for two including everything: 2 cocktails, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 orders of naan, 1 order of yogurt. We will go back and refer others.

    Party of 6. We got 2 menus and 5 wine lists. it was 10 minutes before anyone came by to check on us. 40 minutes after ordering until our food came out. I had to leave but we had been sitting with empty plates for 15 minutes and no sign of anyone coming by to check on us or bring the check. Disappointing because the food was very good.

    The only thing was that we felt really rushed by the guy who was picking up our plates, like I had a couple of bites still left. Then he stacked all the dirty plates at the end of the table in this big pile. It was kind of like he was clearing cafeteria tables. That is the only negative thing I have to say. Otherwise good food.

    We loved our experience at Nazara so very much!! They had my favorite wine on the menu, and the owner came to our table, asked what kind of food we liked, and made it for us without our having to peruse the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was above-and-beyond, and our table was private and cozy. We had the most enjoyable dinner experience and will definitely return again and again!!

    Don’t be fooled by the location in a strip mall. This place is very high-end Indian food, and once you’re inside is sophisticated and relaxing. Best samosas I’ve ever had. my whole family enjoyed it. You may want to ask for mild if you don’t like your food very spicy.

    Food is good but a little Americanized from traditional Indian food. There’s no level of spice indicators on menu. The naan was good. The food was good. Service was attentive, they are quick to clear plates at times. We went late and it was busy. Would go again.

    We were ignored and they took forever to bring our order. Every time we needed something we had to search for customer service reps. They never provided serving spoons to dish out our food from the bowls. Nothing exceptional and the prices for all food items were insane! They need to work on customer service skills & stop raising food prices. Terrible experience for the bill I paid.

    We came to celebrate a graduation, party of 5. Quick seating, excellent service at beginning of meal. Had some minor issues with menu items having changed from previous visits, these were handled relatively quickly, but we were still charged for original item and replacement. Great food, fantastic sauces. Definitely less protein in the dishes than from previous visits (4 veggie balls in $19 vegetarian dish, 4 shrimp in $26 butter shrimp dish; in past visits there were twice as many). I love that everything is served family style, so we could share dishes. Previously, each dish had enough food for 2 with leftovers, but we only had sauce left on this visit. Got talked into a glass of champagne "for Mother's Day" which cost an undisclosed $25 (!!!) by the bartender who delivered our drinks. My fault, I understand upselling and should have asked, but jeez. Made me feel taken advantage of when we got the bill. Overall, this is a good place to visit for really tasty food, just be aware of pricing and make sure you review the menu carefully so you get what you're expecting.
