   This was a total flop for my family and I. If you grew up eating authentic desi food, just go to your moms house and save your money. The mocktails and the dehi chaat style item were definitely delicious. Those were the first things served and so the bar was set high. Unfortunately everything after that was not great. The behl was quite dry, the kebabs were yogurt inside (no meat!) and the achar paneer—yikes. Achar is meant to be a condiment, not the primary source of flavor. And it was so strong. I added my leftover paneer on top of my leftover biryani the next day (along with a little bit more of mom’s added touch) and it was much better. And—I came with a party of 5 adults and they crammed us into a space that was realistically two single tables pushed together in a corner. We were quite cramped the entire meal, and there was a large 6 person table open behind us for the entire 2 hour duration of our meal.

   Initially very pleased, but quality of waitstaff, at least ours which was multiple people seriously declined from our previous time here. Food was excellent & and well defined when asking. Some of it was very crumbly in consistency & made the table messy. We had to ask the waiter to clean it, rather than grabbing a cloth, he seemed to use a folded piece of paper scraping the crumbs rudely across the table, which was ineffective, rude and not professional. When placing our desert order, It seemed to have been totally forgotten. They brought our teas, which were tepid at best, and after asking multiple times about the desserts, they kept saying “almost ready” 15 minutes later still had not arrived. We well over minutes for dessert, with no forewarning, they really need to have better trained waitstaff. The food was always very tasty, but the seriously poorly trained detracted from what should have been a deliciously lovely dinner.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, we’re genuinely sorry that the service fell short—especially compared to your previous visit. What you described does not reflect the level of hospitality we aim to provide. From the unprofessional way the table was cleared to the delay and lack of communication around your dessert and tea, we understand how these missteps detracted from what should have been a seamless and enjoyable evening. Your feedback is being taken seriously, and we’re addressing these issues with our team to ensure better training and consistency moving forward. We truly appreciate your continued support and hope to have the chance to give you the full experience you deserve next time. – Team Fitoor

   The food at Fitoor Restaurant was amazing, especially the Achari Paneer and Gulab Jamun Cremrole. The service was fantastic too—both the servers and the manager checked in after each course to ask how the food was.

   Beautiful interiors- gorgeous bar area. We were not as familiar with Indian cuisine so our nice waitstaff made suggestions. Delicious food!

   Food was excellent, portion size was quite large. Could shrink portions and still be a good value.
