“ First time customer at the restaurant and the food is sooo good. I told my husband we need to find a good Indian restaurant on this side of the bridge. We tried Nawab, Aago, & Electric Monsoon before, but it doesn’t beat this Indian Restaurant! Very fast service, & delicious warm meals. The only worry is the restaurant is a bit small, but Amirtha’s by far the best & you won’t be disappointed. ”
“ Amazing vegetarian menu!!!! Mix of multiple regional Indian food that offers new choices. Dinner starts with a tiny complimentary Masala chai tea. We ordered the Dosa vegetable roll and vegetable Chetinad. The vegetables in the dosa were cooked perfectly, onions were caramelized and 5 different sauces were on the tray. The chetinad had a rich flavor that was very good. We also ordered garlic naan. We will definitely be back for more wonderful food!!!! ”

Via Doordash ordered First time Curd Rice Paneer saag ( Palak Paneer / Cottage cheese with Spinach paste) Taste 100% Indian ... Curd Rice quantity was generous... TASTE PALAK PANEER comes with small portion of rice... it looked little may not be filling for someone.. BUT IF MIXED WELL... THE TASTE and its filling & satisfying... Paneer / cottage cheese was soft and the whole food was cooked nicely ... Balanced flavors not spicy not bland Perfect punjabi style taste... RECOMMENDED...

“ This was our first visit to Amirtha Curry Bar, and it exceeded our expectations. My husband ordered the Manchurian Chicken, and I had the Malai Kofta with garlic naan, along with an appetizer of chicken momo. The food arrived incredibly fast, piping hot, and bursting with flavor—easily some of the best Indian cuisine in the area. Yes, the space is small, as many have mentioned, but I actually love how quaint and peaceful it feels. The service was superb, and we absolutely can’t wait to come back. Eat here. You won’t be disappointed! ”
“ Staff is always friendly, the restaurant is so cozy, their chai is so yummy. I have literally tried something different every time I come here and I am never disappointed. I love this restaurant so much I’m willing to drive the 45min anytime I want Indian. I highly recommend it! ”
“ I love this place! It's a small and has homey and calming environment. Their food is so flavorful and filling. I always take home delicious leftovers. The lamb dishes are my go-to and it is always so tender! Some dishes can be spicy, but they are very accomodating to those who cant handle spicy foods. The server is always very nice and generous. This restaurant is one of my favorite hidden gems. ”
