Overall decent food and good experience. Biryani was great 3.5 ⭐ the portion size for Raita was small and if onion salad was added I would give 4 ⭐ but it was tasty and flavorful. Harabhara kabab was average 2.5 ⭐

I recently dined at Bahar and overall, it was a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with standout dishes like the biryani, chicken tikka masala, samosas, and the mixed chicken platter being true highlights. Each dish was full of flavor and well-prepared. However, the vegetable kebabs were a bit of a letdown and didn’t quite meet the same standard. On the downside, the service left something to be desired. We were seated in a spot that was quite chilly, and when we asked for the heater to be turned on, we were told it was broken. Despite our requests, we weren’t moved to a warmer area, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable. In summary, the food was fantastic, but the service and ambiance could use a bit of improvement.

We recently had Bahar cater our daughter’s first birthday and aqiqa celebration, and they exceeded every expectation. The food was truly the highlight of the event. Guests are still talking about the incredible Chicken 65 and the rich, perfectly spiced Goat Biryani—both were absolute crowd favorites. Even our non-desi guests couldn’t stop raving about the samosas and gulab jamuns. It was so special to see everyone, from every background, enjoy the flavors with so much enthusiasm. The two staff members who helped with serving were wonderful as well—kind, attentive, and always on top of refilling trays before anything ran out. Their presence made everything run smoothly. We feel so lucky to have such a gem of Indian food right here in our backyard. Bahar helped make our celebration memorable, and we’ll happily be returning for future events.

This was our first trip to the restaurant, and we enjoyed the food. We used to go to Sitar off Mira Mesa but they closed down in 2021. We started going to Charminar in Mira Mesa. Good to see an Indian restaurant in 4S Ranch. The food is excellent and the restaurant is not as crowded as Charminar. Service was fair but we understand the restaurant had only opened two months ago. Seemed like our waitress was new. It took a while to get service but the food arrived very quickly. Will definitely go back and try the buffet next.

Tried this restaurant and liked it. It’s a huge place that can accommodate a lot of people, with a nice ambience. The food overall tastes good and has authentic Indian flavors. We went for dinner and tried a few dishes; Goat Biryani, Chicken Ghee Roast, and Chicken Boti Kebab. The Chicken Boti Kebab was especially good. The service, however, was a bit slow and not very attentive. Planning to try the buffet next time to get an overall idea of the food quality and taste.
