The food was great and the service even better. We were at the location in Bandelier National Monument and were shocked to find such a high quality restaurant there. The ingredients were fresh, lots of great and unique choices including elk and bison burgers. My wife said the BLT was the best she had ever had. And the service was awesome, super friendly and attentive.

I saw they only offer deliver and pickup, yet when I showed up, it's pretty spacious actually! I could have dined here... oh well. Made the selection in the website, didn't get a receipt but when requesting receipt on site still can't get it, the girl promised that she'll send it to you and haven't got it yet. Got lamb curry, it was really just a ok, lamb is super dry which I am not a fan of. Took three bites and that's it for me.House salad is great! Love the dressing and kale goes well with it.Also got a dessert, which I regret dearly now. It's the layered cake, extremely sweet, I was having a hard time to just finish one.Worst part about my experience is that, they didn't pack me utensils! If you go eco, please tell me and I'll figure out whether to eat here or not. But I picked up a sealed bag, got to my place, opened up, nothing! Not even a napkin! I have to get two pieces of coffee stir to make a pair of chopsticks to eat. That just ruined everything. Sad thing is that I probably have to go back there to get my receipt because they didn't give it to me the first time...

Good service and good food. I like the idea of offering online orders for pickup or eating there but there is not much seating inside or outside. After a hike me and my friends placed orders online. When we arrived we still had to wait 15-20 min or so for our food. They did however give us our drinks early when we asked. I was happy with the meal I ordered but the dessert was not my favorite.

Great, flavorful food! I had the tikkas and chicken biryani. The rice was amazing and the chicken cooked perfectly (and I'm usually picky about that). The tikkas came with an interesting chutney (herbs and mint maybe?). When I went to pick up my food, I also received a complimentary mango lassi, which was a pleasant surprise as a first-time customer! They know how to make a great first impression. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu. The co-owner is the executive chef at Raaga in Santa Fe and I love his food. Other info: The interior was modern and pleasant and had some counter seating near the windows. The concept is really about hot lunch takeout, however. They deliver cold dinners that you reheat at home. I suggest ordering online ahead of time since they can sell out quickly!

We tried these guys today,,eehh.. I suppose it was ok, but lots of reservations. The first impressions started out good, but there are aspects that definitely should be better.When we first got there, the first thing we noticed is that they have a ton of tables set up outside, a few tables and chairs at a counter in the inside dining area, and nobody was eating anywhere. We discover that they are not set up for hosting and serving in a true dine-in setup. I had to look for the menu (what do you people serve??!!), which was a pile of print-out sheets at the register. (Nice!... no, it wasn't.)We also discover that their menu changes frequently,... VERY frequently. If not daily, it changes WEEKLY. That may not be good... Based on what their menu says today, they offer Eastern and Southeastern Asian, Indian, and Mid-eastern cuisine. An interesting variety. I was not prepared for that, but it was definitely something that caught my attention in a good way. But then again, what will it be tomorrow?? Variety of the menu can be a good thing, but if you make something that I love today, how pissed will I be that I can't order it tomorrow??! Hmmmm... not good...I don't like that I can't get something because you just decide, out of the blue, to not make it any more??... So I ordered the Chicken Korma and ate it there. Remember about the lack of serving/hosting? This is another location (see previous reviews that I did in regards to the topic of up-front tiping) that asks for a tip BEFORE getting served the food and without any hosting or follow-up serving. So I hope that I won't need to harp too much, but the TIP is what the server gets for waiting/serving us at the table. Bringing the food and doing absolutely nothing else is not enough! (No apologies!) I find myself being compelled to put these tip-first restaurants on the same tier as take-out, which in my mind, do not do what is necessary to earn a tip. Ugh, we're now down to 3 stars.So onto the food...The korma spice was average. The rice was cooked well, I thought that the chicken was lacking, not too many pieces, but they and the potatoes were cooked averagely. The curry was light, some flavor, but it could have been stronger and thicker. It was not served hot and as I write this, I know why (see near the end of the review). There was not much ginger or onion, but the weakness in the curry was the biggest take-away. The food is somewhat flavorful, but not stellar. The serving size was average and the waiting time was average.I did not check out the bathrooms, but I did have a remaining take-away experience. When it was time to throw out the garbage, the protocol was to throw my food containers into the *garbage cans* (yes, garbage cans) left out in the outside patio-area as opposed to a receptacle you would find at a restaurant. So I guess you might as well have left the dumpster out there for me to throw out my remaining garbage?? (The food was served in to-go containers, NO plates, the flatware was plastic-ware.) This place is not designed for an eat-in experience, it is more designed for a take-out or delivery experience, which was a total turn-off. So unless you prefer those methods, my experience is now down to 2 stars.As I drafted this review, I took a look at the website, your restaurant is designed with a model to promote pro-environmentalism and sustainability by serving the food in eco-friendly containers. Their design is for people to check them out online, order online, and get the food themselves. However if you eat-in, you'll be reduced to, "You sit yourself, we bring your food in to-go containers, we don't deal with you, and you deal with the waste yourself." I also discovered on their website, they describe the method for preparing their food: "The menu, which changes daily, is prepared fresh by our professional chefs, each morning. Between 11:30am and 3:00pm, we provide hot-takeout for the busy lunch crowd. After 3:00pm, all food is chilled to ensure optimal freshness and to prepare it for both evening delivery and pickup."Since I ate at 5:30-6 (and there were a LOT of people who came for take-out), NOBODY at this time was getting their food freshly cooked, made-to-order. You chill your food after 3, which tells me that you stop cooking at 3 and all of the food is put into a fridge (which needs to be microwaved prior to serving otherwise it's cold) and we're getting the equivalent of left-overs. So my food was sitting in a fridge for 2 hours??! Yuck!.... So I am left with a metaphorical bad taste in my mouth because I was eating-in to a place that is really made for take-out or delivery, yet you feign yourself to be dine-in when you know you really are not setup for dine-in. Your menu is not consistent, and you're so tacky as to ask for a tip before you do anything. And on top of that, my food was cooked hours before it was served.

I've been told the menu changes daily and is updated on the website each day. I would highly recommend this true whole in the wall with only a few seats inside order ahead, pick or walk over to Ashely Pond with you food. The food is amazing!

I've been here about a half dozen times. Take out and delivery only, though they have a bit of a bar with limited seating. You can order when you show up, but they really expect you to order at least slightly in advance. Their website is well designed and makes it easy to do so. - The menu changes daily with a wide variety of regional cuisine, so there's always something new to try. - The Indian food, which forms the foundation of their menu, has in every case been excellent. - They are cheap. I would expect to pay at least 50% more for food this good elsewhere in town, if it existed (it doesn't). - Their service is friendly and helpful.My only complaint has been with their asian/chinese dishes, but they've gotten better. They tended to be overly sauced, and with overly sweet sauce. They've gotten things more balanced, to great improvement.

Also found them at the bandelier national monument. Amazing food, fantastic service! Even a great craft beer selection! Much appreciated

Food was absolutely incredible, in Los Alamos this is the best Asian food place, they serve food from all over the continent and make it so tastefully. The restaurant itself is beautiful, they have games throughout for you to play as you wait for your food. The service here is also amazing, the two boys there that served me and took my order were kind and patient. So good, I highly recommend, this it the best place in all of Los Alamos for sure!

We ate at their restaurant at Bandelier National Monument. The claim that the Doug Burger is the best burger in NM was spot on! A burger, American cheese, fresh mozzarella, bacon and a chile relleno. The others in our party enjoyed their impossible burger and salad. Cheerful staff.
