Red Onion Indian Lunch Brunch Dinner Reviews

Spot is very cozy, and the vibes were great! Came at 6 pm on a Tuesday - very quiet with soft music in the background. The owner explained the history of the restaurant. There were only a couple tables, but they’re expanding soon. Owner was so nice! Good portion sizes - Complimentary mango lassi: 9/10, so yummy, and it was so nice that it was free! The owner said they bottle it fresh every morning. Very creamy and yogurt-y - Chicken tikka masala: 10/10, very flavorful, and the chicken was tender - Lamb biryani: 8/10, pretty flavorful, and meat was tender and not dry - Garlic naan: 9/10, loved the flavor *Note: Most of the other customers were white lol, but food was still solid

The best Indian food I’ve had in my life. We ordered the Chicken Xacuti Curry with white rice and the Somoza Chatt. The owner gifted us Mango Lassi. INCREDIBLE

Food was kinda bland, was really hard to get staff to notice us when we wanted things like extra napkins. Not sure if we went on an off night but was pretty let down after seeing the reviews given how expensive the food was for what it tasted like.

Wir waren wegen der guten Bewertungen im Restaurant. Der Laden war klein und gemütlich, die Besitzer/Kellner waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war wirklich super lecker. Wenn man Potions Größen aus Europa gewohnt ist, reicht es gegebenfalls aus, sich etwas zu teilen. Das ist aber definitiv kein Nachteil! Für die Reste haben wir Boxen bekommen und konnten alles super einfach mitnehmen. Ganz klare Empfehlung!
