Baar Baar, nestled in the vibrant East Village, seamlessly marries modern elegance with traditional Indian flavors. The beautiful space sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience.

The menu is a symphony of exquisite Indian dishes, with standout items like the eggplant, daal, butter chicken, and lamb. The eggplant, a star in its own right, melts in your mouth with a perfect blend of spices. The daal boasts a rich, velvety texture, while the butter chicken and lamb dishes showcase the culinary expertise of the kitchen.

Adding to the allure are the fancy and delicious cocktails that complement the flavors perfectly. The innovative combinations and top-notch presentation elevate the overall dining experience.

Great variety of food and nice atmosphere.

Flavours did not disappoint but for the portions for the price did not align.

Nice spot for Indian in the lower east side for sure.

Heard a lot about this place from the reviews. The service and food is good but not worth the hype and money. We had ordered mushroom sabzi and it wasnt up to the mark. Garlic Naan was good but food was made to taste better by adding surplus amount of ghee in food.

We had ordered tomato bruschetta I would absolutely not recommend this. Paneer chilly was the best dish I had from small plates.

Would love to see some more vegetarian options.

Cocktails are really good.

I was hesitant to come here due to the mixed reviews, but since I don’t eat Indian often, decided to try. We came for the restaurant week dinner menu, which was first of all amazing- Many options and included a side too. Every single dish we ordered was great. They start you out w a little house bite too. My friend and I loved it all! The portions aren’t big but it is a higher scale restaurant. The service was also great. The mango lassi is a MUST- It has rosewater and was just so unique and 💯 Highly recommend Baar Baar!!

This was a great spot for brunch and I look forward to trying it again soon so I can try out some of the other dishes

Paneer kathi roll was good. Masala fries were excellent. The vada pao sliders could have been better if it has more sauce and they used a different type of bread. The bread needed to be buttered, it was too dry and overall the vada pav was lacking taste.

The spicy guava mimosa was really good and not too spiced which I liked. My friend got the lamb kheema shepherds pie and liked it also.

Ambiance was good and there was a DJ and dancing at the Saturday brunch.

Came for restaurant week and had a small plate, a main dish and a dessert each. The mushroom dish was the most disappointing one. The rest were really good, the sea bass especially. The butter chicken was also good! The apricot basundi is amazing. It was a bit too loud inside, and I had a reservation but they still made us wait at the bar. Missing one star because of those things. Would come back though!
