   I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve been here, but one thing I do know is that I’ve never had an even mediocre experience! I even tried something new (for me) tonight- tandoori octopus! Perfectly tender, charred just right and seasoned just right! Service, as always, was as great as ever!

   Food is amazing here and the service par none. We have been here quite a few times over the last several years and we always have a great time. We joke that the bowls they serve the food in are magic bowls, because as we eat, they never seem to go down. We always leave with left overs for the next day!

   We’ve been here twice now and both times were great! The food is delicious and the service was very good. Can’t wait to go back. Love that I can bring my own wine with me.

   My wife and I visited Aarzu after several months. On a Monday in the early evening, the Bistro was not crowded. We ordered mocktails (Spicy Guava and Mango Moscow Mule), which were distinctive. Between the two small plates we ordered, the Corn Bhel was excellent. The Pani Puri was good, but not great. While the puris were nice and firm with the right filling, we did not find the pani flavorful enough. The Truffle Butter Pav Bhaji was delectable, tasty and with the right amount of spice. My tandoor course of Doodhiya Malai Kebab was delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked, moist and flavorful. Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive, and made excellent suggestions. Orson and Chirag each provided prompt attention with a smile. We even said hello to the Chef and told him how much we enjoyed the food. We were surprised when, before we got our check, they served us a complimentary dessert (Rasmalai) which was out of this world. It was just perfectly Goldilocks sweet. We have been to Aarzu several times over the years, and we cannot recommend it enough for the food, the service and the overall experience. We will visit them again.

   The food and service were satisfactory. This was our second time around and were still impressed. We had the Angoori Gulab Kulfi for dessert and it was delicious!

   This was our first time at Aarzu. Service was great. Food was delicious and fast. We had the beetroot tikki, gobi, and duck tacos. We loved the first two but the duck tacos were a bit too sweet for me. Presentation was awesome especially the rose kulfi in vases.

   Went for dinner on a Wednesday night. It was nice and quiet so I can’t speak to how it would be on the weekend, but the food was outstanding as was the service. I am definitely going back!

    If you don’t know Indian food well, your waiter will walk you through course by course. Share everything. After one dish, discuss the next with the waiter. Do not skip dessert.
