My husband and I visited Barsa for an anniversary dinner. Our sever Sagar went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. We tried the cauliflower appetizer, the almond pumpkin soup, the malai kofta and the vegetable curry. We loved all of them. Our most favorite were the desserts. We absolutely loved the Panna Cotta. Sagar also surprised us with an anniversary special dessert. Highly recommend Barsa!

Had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with the family. Barsa provides an upscale experience (and reflected in the price), and it does so flawlessly. We tried the 16th-century paneer appetizer, and the sauce was incredible. Something very unique and new to my seasoned Indian taste buds. Would love to see them make this into a proper curry and add it to the entrees with chicken and other proteins. For mains, we got the chicken tikka masala, butter paneer masala, and shahi kofta. My dish was the chicken tikka masala, and it was so tasty--one of the best chicken tikka masala curries in the entire area. The juicy, well-marinated, and seasoned chicken rested on top for a nice presentation. I did try a bit of the shahi kofta. It was too sweet for my liking, but that's just a personal preferenc

I was very excited to try this new place and I highly recommend! We started with the beet humus (pictured) which was done very delicately, the beet flavor was not overpowering. We then had the Paneer Saag and the lobster dish. Both of which were delightful. Wonderful flavorful sauces, cooked perfectly and the naan was not too crunchy and warm. The GM Sunny was our server due to them being short staffed and he was wonderful, he told us about how they grind their own spices in house and recommended the wonderful lobster dish! Food and drinks came out within a reasonable amount of time. The drinks are fun with extra presentations. My only star off with atmosphere is that this place is loud and warm. It’s a bustling place, so don’t expect anything quiet or intimate. There was a large group of

We had an incredible dining experience at Barsa New Indian Restaurant! Our server, Jevian, was outstanding—every recommendation he made was spot on. We started with the fried fish in banana leaf and the beet salad, both bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. For the main course, we tried the chef’s special and the lobster Moilee—both were fantastic! The lobster was cooked perfectly—tender and flavorful, not rubbery at all. To finish, we had the halwa, and honestly, it was the best I’ve ever had. There were so many other creative and elegant dishes we noticed on nearby tables—we can’t wait to come back and try more! Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves vibrant, modern Indian cuisine with authentic taste and wonderful service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Patricia K · Dec 2025

This was an amazing dining experience. The atmosphere is airy, colorful and festive. Opening the back-lit menu was a treat for tired eyes. The drinks were a delight: tasty, unique, smooth, and quite strong. Each one with its own flourish. The cauliflower appetizer was slightly sweet with a soft and satisfying texture. We tried several entrees, which were all very good, but our favorite was the baarish ka lamb. So tender and full of flavor. We ordered one small dessert and our excellent waiter, Jevian, brought us a complementary piece of pink carrot cake, adorned with fresh fruit and floating in a cloud of dry ice. It was a great venue to relax and unwind with friends after a challenging week at work. The whole experience felt magical.
