  1. How lucky are my friends who live right down the street from Bahar!  They order take out from here, but this was the first time they had dined in.  We ordered three entrees and a couple of appetizers to share.  The kebabs were excellent: tender, flavorful meat that made us crave more immediately.  The veggie entree came with a sample of eggplant, lentils, cauliflower and a couple of other items, all very good as well.  Possibly my favorite were the pumpkin fritters.  I love that sweet goodness paired with yogurt. Prices were very reasonable.  The four of us were well filled for about $70, including tip.

  2. This place gets 3.5 stars. I really enjoyed my main course, but not the starters. I tried the fesenjon for the starter – I didnt like that they used the thigh meat of the chicken and also the chicken itself didnt seem seasoned. I thought the pomegranate sauce was too sweet for my liking. The pumpkin turnovers were tasty, but I did not think they would be deep fried – I had imagined a baked pastry. the batter was kind of like a samosa batter, and there was some sweet pumpkin puree inside. The puree was pretty tasty. I thought the yogurt dipping sauce served alongside was a nice accompaniment.

    The lamb kebobs were awesome and I really liked the rice served alongside. I was also eyeing the kabli kebob because the rice was served with raisins and carrots on top. yum! I would definitely return, but maybe just to take out. There wasnt much going on in terms of ambience. Service was friendly and prompt.

  3. This place is great! The food is so fresh. The steamed chicken dumplings were the best I've had in years! I also love the sesame chicken with lo mein. Its like 6 bucks for the biggest plate ever! They must use good ingredients because I dont feel fat after eating it. If your in the neighborhood its definetly worth a shot! I took my chance and I've been back ever since!

  4. Compared to their predecessors, their food is not as great. We ordered the afghan combo and chicken tikka masala for delivery.The combo if pretty big, it'll feed about 5 people. The rice was good but kind of bland. The best protein was probably the chicken. The beef and lamb was dry. The chicken tikka was okay, kinda greasy, comes with one naan.

  5. i don't understand why indian restaurants all take FOREVER to bring food out. service was slow. the pics on the outside of the store was what brought us in here although we noticed the "grade pending" sign on the window. first, we ordered the mixed grill.. and it was totally deceptive based on the pics outside. we only got a few chunks of each meat rather than ahuge platter as advertised. next, the chicken tikka masala was not what i was used to. it was extremely greasy. it wasn't bad it was just not the creamy tomato base that i am used to/ was looking for. the samosa, was meaty and decent though. we just wished we weren't  conned into going in to try the food. please update your mixed grill picture being advertised outside or give us more meat!

  6. I grabbed food to go from here. I ordered a chicken tikka with a salad. It took about 10-15 minutes to complete the order.

    As I ate it in the car, I noticed the chicken was dry and not that flavorful. However it was worth the price of $5. I probably wouldn't come here again

  7. This is my family's go-to dinner spot mostly just for their lamb chops!

    I like my lamb chops a bit charred, so I usually tell the waiter/ess to have mine well done, otherwise it's a bit too moist and that distinct 'lamb meat' smell doesn't go away (I don't like the smell..).

    The chicken karahi is also quite good. Another one of our go to dishes to compliment the drier (no curry, duh lol) lamb chop dish.

    Last night we tried the butter chicken and it easily beat the chicken karahi!!! The curry is amazingly flavorful and the chicken tender..

    Most definitely recommend the butter chicken. And the lamb chops of course needless to say. 🙂

    The only reason this place gets a star taken away is the fact that they don't serve tap water. If you just want water to go along your food, they will automatically bring you a bottled water.

    Not a big deal.. Couple of extra bucks, but c'mon.. It shouldn't always be about making profit. A restaurant should have some sort of standard to keep customers coming back. Next thing you know, we'll be charged for sitting on a chair. :/

  8. I went there tonight for dinner. The food was great. We had Afghan food and Chinese food. Both were delicious. The waitress was very friendly and polite. The restaurant has a nice seating and is clean. The portions are big and the prices are fair.
