Reading previous reviews, I was excited to try Utsav for the first time. I was left very disappointed. Recently my husband and I have been going to many Indian restaurants, our favourite is still Little India.
The ambiance is average. The decor is modern and some Indian accents in the pictures. Tables are a generous size and in fact I believe you can create more seats with smaller tables. Service is normal but there are only two servers who do everything from hosting, taking orders, drinks, running food and taking payment. We came on a not so busy night but I cannot imagine the service if they were full.
We ordered the Vegetable Samosa, Chicken Tikka Marsala, Lamb Curry, Okra, Garlic Naan, Basmati Rice and Chai tea. The meat is very overcooked. The amount of spice is higher than expected. The samosa was doughy not crunchy. The rice is not a fragrant spiced rice you would imagine from an Indian restaurant. We were so disappointed in everything. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
