Utsav is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning festival. An integral part of Indian culture, Indian festivals are innumerable and equally varied in origin from the Himalayan foothills to the Peninsula's tip and food plays a very prominent part of the festive events.

Each dish has its own distinctive flavor and aroma, thanks to the fresh spices that are prepared everyday for each individual dish. The blending and preparation of fresh spices is a centuries old exacting craft, which is indispensable to Indian cuisines.

Everyday cozy dinner dining in a cocoon cavernous resto of a certain era that has incredible value delicious food and a truly lovely staff team that give off a relaxed family vibe: highly recommended most esp. for being atypical Yorkville. The okra dish was mind-blowing in its delicious simplicity.

Came here before and came back for an anniversary dinner! The place is small, and only has one server on the floor at a time, so come early to beat the dinner rush or you’ll be waiting (around 8:30). Regardless food was great, some may say not traditional but it really hit the spot!! Got Lamb Saag and a chicken dish!! My only criticism is having to pay for sides (like rice and bread) that come with the dishes but otherwise it was a great experience, will definitely be coming by again sometime!!
