   Excellent food and terrific wine prices. Don't skip the garlic naan.

   Too many restrictions on buffet menu. Last time I went they had ala carte lunch options.

   Good food, strictly OK service, could be better - they took adjustments well though - we will be back for sure a couple more times - remains to be seen if it becomes a staple after that

   The food was absolutely amazing but really spicy! Our waiter was very kind and told me next time I should let them know to make it much less spicy. I would love to try it again and hope that they can accommodate those of us who can’t do the typical level of Indian spice

   Very tasty food. However the prices are high for the quantity. Good service and location.

   Was so looking forward to trying out Varam but was very disappointed for several reasons. First, the bathroom access is very weird and a long walk. The servers didn’t seem to be trained at all and service was very slow, kept having to call someone for help. My toddlers dosa came 15 minutes after mine. The servers first put extra candles on our table and then removed them for other tables. It just seemed to be mismanaged. The dosas were not bad but overall experience was very disappointing
