    The food is good but a little overpriced for the amount of meat there was in chicken tikka. We were asked to leave right after 1 hour and 15 mins due to upcoming reservation. Even though, i booked a slot and it didn’t mention any time limitations. Felt rushed and unwelcomed. Definitely not coming back.

    We did not get the table! We booked one from OpenTable and we were 1st told the waiting is for 20 mins and then for an hour! The person on the counter mentioned that they received one booking after I showed them my waitlist which was a bit off! Also, they hold the table for their bookings for 20 mins which is again a bit off, when you already have a guest waiting! I did not expect this!

    Didn’t stand the impression I had in mind Taste was good but there are many better places then. Quantity was very less. Pricing is never issue if the food is good but sorry to say no value for money if spending at Cottage cheese. Service was okay , you have to call them multiple times when you need help or wanna order more. Until that time no one would come or notice. Cottage cheese has a policy to put your credit card details as a safety of booking. If you don’t show up they will deduct $20 per person. (Which sounds crazy for a restaurant which was almost having 3 booked tables only for the time being).

    I had the pleasure of dining at The Cottage Cheese, and I must say, their food were absolutely phenomenal! The paneer was incredibly fresh, soft, and perfectly cooked. Each dish, whether it was the Makai Posto or the crispy Okra , was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. The spices were well-balanced, and the creamy textures in main courses were heavenly. It’s evident that they use high-quality ingredients and take great care in their preparation. And our dinning experience elevated by their great service. Our both servers young lady and gentleman made us very comfortable. Highly Recommended!!
