   This visit marked at least my eighth time dining at Baar Baar, and until now, I have never left unhappy. In fact, I have always trusted Baar Baar for its quality and service, which is exactly why I chose to celebrate my birthday here today with a friend. Unfortunately, the experience I had was far below the usual standard, and it significantly affected what should have been a joyful and memorable occasion. 1. Total disregard for my reservation notes and occasion: I had clearly noted in my reservation that we were celebrating my birthday. However, from the moment we walked in until we left, no one acknowledged this at all. In previous visits, your team has always asked about the occasion and made us feel welcome — today, the reception felt cold and indifferent. It was clear that no one had read my reservation comments. 2. Incoherent service and disorganized course flow: I had specifically requested to start our meal with the Dahi Puri, as I wanted to begin with something light and playful. Instead, the very first dish brought to the table was the duck taco, which is far too heavy for a starter. I had to ask three different people before anyone even attempted to offer an explanation — the delay and disinterest were extremely disappointing. By the time I returned to the taco, it had gone cold. 3. Careless handling and food waste: I explicitly told my server that I wanted to pack the Avocado Bhel to go, but another server removed the dish without asking, and even stacked another plate on top of it, ruining the food completely. When I raised this, not only did he fail to apologize, but he also looked at me with a face as if he were about to cry — as if I had done something wrong. This was both unprofessional and unacceptable.

   The service, unfortunately, felt somewhat disjointed. There was noticeable confusion regarding our order, with one dish never arriving—yet it still appeared on our bill. Additionally, no one checked in to see if we might like a second round of drinks. Despite noting in our reservation that we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday, there was no acknowledgment of this special occasion. Upon arrival, we were initially offered seats directly by the front door, even though there were numerous vacant tables available. When we expressed a preference to be seated elsewhere, the greeter left us standing unattended for an extended period. Ultimately, it’s the thoughtful attention to such details that elevates a restaurant from merely average to truly exceptional.

We will be sure to speak with our team, understand our mistakes, and correct where we need to in order to improve our guests' experience.

   Great place to eat with family for a celebration. Food is beautifully presented and enjoyable for everyone in our party. I love how the table was cleaned and new plates offered between appetizer and main and dessert. Some difficulty choosing gluten-free and vegan options for one member of our party.

   Service was horrible. Server rarely checked in on us. Two dishes never came and had to repeatedly ask for them. Water wasn’t refilled. Was waiting for the check at the end and finally had to go to the bar myself and have my credit card run. I never really review but this was probably the worst service after a long time so had to say something. Bartenders were great and very helpful.
