    It's a great restaurant. Typically, we have great service. However, on our last occasion, we asked our waiter for bread twice and never received it. The rest of the meal was flavorful, but this place has excellent sauces that go with the bread, and our table wanted to sample them. Next time.

    Excellent food and service. Very consistent. Only issue is that prices have increased, but that is pretty much the case everywhere.

    Had the smoked beef tongue (Zaboon) for an appetizer and it was honestly among the most delectable melt-in-your-mouth dishes I've ever had. Extraordinary.

    First time at Aracosia—the decor and ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Staff was great, and food was delicious. Great lunch on a cold, snowy day.
