   The food here is delicious, definitely different from and a cut above traditional Indian restaurants in America. The service was also very attentive. I really appreciate the number of vegan dishes and the fact that everything is clearly marked. My two caveats are that there’s a lot of heat in this food so if you can’t stand that this is not the restaurant for you. Even the mild chutney was hot rather than flavorful. It’s also a noisy set up with little thought given to sound management in the design of the space. The pink themed walls are kind of cute but also slightly nauseating.

   What a fantastic meal we had last night! My second time there this month and the menu and food remain both inventive and delicious! Alejandro’s reference to his heritage and culinary influences are present and vital to such a fantastic Indian food experience.

   I thought the food was really good. My favorite were the Butter Chicken , Lamb chops, and the Kulcha. Service was attentive. It is on the pricier side but that goes for most restaurants these days. Good experience overall

   Food was very mediocre. Indian restaurants are meant to have a vast array of dishes. But the menu only has 4 items per section. Beyond that, the tandoor dishes were severely under seasoned, and the mint chutney served with them was pretty bad. The butter chicken we got was alright, but had bits of burnt chicken. Also, the curry was too sweet. For an Indian restaurants at this price range, it would also be good to have some Indian beers or other beverages. But all the wine and beer was not Indian. Overall, the food was average, but for that price range was really underwhelming. Definitely worse than Aapna, which is also on state street.

   Disappointing food. Nothing properly seasoned. Crispy cauliflower tasted like it was fried in old oil.

   For a restaurant that promotes itself as “real Indian food”, it was not even close. The food had close to no flavor, especially regarding traditional flavors and spices. As a woman from Indian and a cook, I was very disappointed and do not recommend Bibi Ji to anyone looking for good real Indian food, let alone even good enjoyable food. Our main dishes were Saag Paneer and Dal Makhani. The only thing that was recognizable and decent was the naan (bread). People were friendly and atmosphere was hip I have never eaten at an Indian restaurant that the food was so far off the mark and just did not have much taste.

    We enjoyed every aspect of our meal. There was a small glitch in the kitchen that delayed our meal, but the food was outstanding. We’ll be back.
