Imli in Tunbridge Wells

Food was excellent, will be back soon

Authentic Sri Lankan Food must try Kothu Paratha, Dosa is proper crispy,

I caught a cockroach on my seat's backrest with a napkin and handed it to our server prior to ordering our meal. They apologized. We were initially hesitant, but proceeded with ordering the lamb biryani, idli, and drinks. The food was good, service prompt, we paid the full price and tipped normally at the end of our meal (it was our decision to stay, despite what has happened). No compensation was offered. Our server assured us that the cockroach is a one-off incident. We hope it will be addressed. Needless to say, we will not be back anytime soon.

The food here is so authentic and tasty that it reminded me of my home food. We ordered chicken kothu porotta, hoppers, mutton paaya. Try the Paaya with hoppers or string hoppers. It’s amazing. Hard to choose a favorite . The staff here were so welcoming and friendly.

This is a fabulous restaurant! Every dish (we had four plus dessert) was wonderful, the host was so gracious and kind, staff were excellent. The flavors were intense and delicate, spicy and soothing. Absolutely delicious! Thank you!

We have been wanting to try Lungi after being fans of Imli, and my husband and I finally made a reservation. We went early on a Saturday, so it wasn't too busy. Don't be afraid to use the call button for service! After waiting a while ready to order, the server came over and helped us pick our meals. I ordered a mocktail, the guava lemonde which i had to stop myself from downing in one go it was so good! I also ordered the Kerala Beef Chukka from the small plates. It was excellent, though a little on the spicy side for me, but i powered through since the flavors were delightful. It came with a flat, flaky bread (not sure the name of it) to dip into it with. My husband ordered the Kori Ghassi, which was also on the spicy side, but delicious. We also got a hopper each, one plain and one egg. By the time we left it was getting busy and I can see the issue others have had in regards to the service, but if youre not in a hurry, I just say enjoy! I really loved the music too. Will return soon.

Bunch of us went to Lungi for dinner on New Year’s Eve and it was probably one of my fondest memories of the year. The food was authentic and managed to capture the essence of each region/community it was from. We loved the appetizers so much that we ordered it thrice! Cocktails were outstanding too! But the biggest props goes to the team at Lungi. The staff were incredibly kind and patient with such a great sense of humor. The service was personal and we felt connected to the food and the team at Lungi. Shoutout and love to the owner, wait staff, and the kitchen. Lungi would be perfect for a private dinner or an intimate party! The outdoor seating area gives you the best of both. 12/10 will come back for more! ♥️

This was probably the most stressful dining experience I've ever had. The food was good, but there weren't many Sri Lankan dishes on the menu. It was also overpriced—$14 for three idlis and $8 for one egg hopper. There was a long wait just to order; it was very disorganized and chaotic. The portion sizes are small for what they charge you for. Once we finished eating, they quickly took our plates and cutlery away, making us feel rushed. At one point, the hostess told us to leave because she needed the table ASAP and there were people waiting but we had just ordered dessert. She apologized afterwards, but it made everyone feel uncomfortable. We were also seated by the entrance, so we could clearly see that no one was waiting for a table. So she lied to kick us out. The servers were always rushing, and one nearly crashed into us twice so that was fun. When it was time to pay, they forgot our masala chai, and we overheard the server scolding another server about it. At that point, we didn’t even want the chai anymore, but our server insisted we take it. Then, he stood over us while my friend drank it. In our rush to leave, we quickly paid the bill on the mobile POS, but the server was watching us and even scrolled through the bill, not allowing us to adjust the tip amount. Overall, it was just a bizarre experience, and I won’t be coming back.

Such a flavor explosion and loved the higher spice level and different sauces used to cook the dishes. The staff was super helpful in their suggestions on our order as we were vegetarian. The cauliflower and mushroom starter and the jackfruit and Kuttu paratha were exceptional! Would highly recommend if you like your food on the spicer side. That said the coconut curry and idliappams were a perfect accompaniment if you wanted to tone down your spice level. The staff was beautifully dressed in traditional Lungis and very attentive .

Outstanding cuisine. We loved every bite! Superb service. Such a varied and interesting menu. We were a fairly large group, and the wait staff were superb.

I am a Sri Lankan and rarely find authentic Sri Lankan food- Lungi tasted like my mum’s cooking. I really enjoyed the hoppers and fish cutlet and would visit again.

Good vibe and good food. Nice place for a party of 10+. Service was a bit slow. I am really not a fan of using artificial colors in the food however, I understand that it makes the food quite authentic however, they need to come up with ways to find alternatives and still make the final outcome of the dishes look and taste authentic.

The food was soooooo good . Great service !

All right people this is the most authentic Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to in the United States. I travel for work. I have been to over 30 states in the United States. I have tried every kind of Indian restaurant there is this to date is the only restaurant I have been to that kept the original culture that taste the spice levelto what a south Indian food is I have been to Hyderabad. I have been to Kerala I have seen and tasted the actual South Indian dishes. This to me is the number one place in New York City if you guys want to check out a good Indian food please go see these guys amazing food amazing atmosphere very fast service and the portions are amazing.

Terrific South Indian (Tamil / Kerala) food. The cuttlefish thoku and Kerala mutton stew with appams (hoppers) were our favourites!

Amazing!!!!! You will not find MORE AUTHENTIC Indi-Srilankan food in NYC let alone New York State, I will dare to say! The Paradise of a global gourmand! RUN don't walk!

Great service, excellent food and genuine & caring people. It is a reflection of their love for authentic food.

Great Food , Great Service and Great Staff

Great food , fantastic atmosphere and amazing service

Tried here for the first time today for our new year treat. The food was delicious and loved how the service and atmosphere of the restaurant. It was indeed busy today, but couldn't complain the wait after tasting the food. We wanted to try Srilankan dishes and it tasted just like the food back home. My favorite was the mutton rolls and the hoppers was delicious as well with the sides of pol Sambol and seeni Sambol. Definitely will come back again to try other dishes.

Had gone to this location back when it used to be Imli. Ever since I saw this new place come up, I've been meaning to try it. Decided to go here for lunch with my out-of -town friend, and we both loved it! He had the Masala Dosa and got a Veg Kothu to-go and I had the very well-made Chicken Kothu. Simple cooking with clean flavors that reminded us of food from back home. So 10/10 for nailing the flavor profile. Edit: Visit #2 was very dissapointing. Booked a table for dinner. It was 1st of Jan and the restaurant was quite full. We were seated at the back at a corner table and the minute we were seated i felt like this table was going to be ignored like how I ignore my fitness. We waited a long time to get the menu card and it was another long wait to have the people take our order. We ordered the Malabar Porota and Kori Ghasi (chicken curry). The food took forever to come but was good. The flavors were amazing. We also ordered the Hopper (which is basically an appam) and it was raw!! We sent it back and waited another 15 mins to get a fresh hopper. Again, food wise we were happy but the service was very very unsatisfactory. Reducing the rating because of this appalling experience.

Incredible authentic South Indian food with warm and inviting service. The manager, Satish, makes you feel right at home. Can’t recommend it enough!

The food was delicious! Our server and all restaurant staff was very friendly!

Amazing and authentic South Indian food with fantastic service!

I came back to this place after the restaurant owners renamed/brought in a new menu and I can attest that its still great! I loved the mutton roll appetizer it was so delicious and the filling was incredibly flavorful. I also really enjoyed the Kori Ghassi with the dosa and coconut chutney. Will definitely come back to try their new lunch special!

We went to lungi after reading the Michelin recommendation. It was so worth it. So excited we finally have a restaurant in Manhattan that serve authentic appam and idiyappam with coconut milk, like how grandma did. Great staff and service.

Highly highly recommend! Lungi is an incredible new restaurant in the Upper East Side, featuring absolutely phenomenal authentic South Indian and Sri Lankan food. The vibes are great, the service and staff is awesome and super friendly, the drinks are very uniquely South Indian/Sri Lankan, and the food is absolutely top notch. It just recently won the Bib Gourmand award from Michelin, very well deserved, and would expect it to win many more. The food and experience absolutely rivals (some dishes even top) the food at the other famous South Indian places in Manhattan. Overall 10/10 experience! Have been here 3 times now, and we haven't had a single bad drink or dish. And each time the service and the experience are phenomenal. A can't miss place for any fan of South Indian/Sri Lankan food!

Reminded me of home. Food was delicious.

Had dinner here last night. Friendly staff and delicious food from southern India and Sri Lanka. The Kothu Roti was a standout. Highly recommended.

The food was unique and delicious and the staff were friendly.

Very tasty! Lots of exciting new dishes to try

This place is amazing! I absolutely loved everything. The owner is very sweet and the way they care about the people was top knotch! Everyone should be eating here.

Nice ambience. Three different seating zones. Good friendly staff. We sat in the patio section which is nice and spacious and fully closed/heated. We think this place has some great flavours in their roasts and curries. I don't usually eat meat but will try occasionally. One of the things I and my wife agree on was that their meat (goat and chicken) were not fresh. They were too dry which is a sign of being frozen and/or over cooked. More likely they were just not fresh. The flavours were amazing but when meat is dry it's harder to eat. We couldn't finish either of our dishes I would strongly encourage this place to use fresh products as it will really propel the experience and food to astronomical heights.

Great service, terrific menu and well made! Some of the best South Indian food I've had that wasn't home made!

I tried the following dishes: king fish fry, beef fry with Parotha, Hopper with coconut milk. All of them were freshly made and tasted delicious. The pain killer cocktail (old monk) was good too. Anyone missing Kerala food, please visit here. Especially the beef fry with parotta will take you back to Kerala. Keep up the good work. Hoping to try the thali someday.

The food was incredible! Ahmed was our server and he had great recommendations and really took the time to explain each menu item and how it should be eaten. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Walked in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and the place was relatively busy. Staff was kind enough to get me seated even though they were about to close the restaurant for afternoon. What was formerly Imli is now Lungi, and I believe it is the same team, but with a more South Indian and Sri Lankan forward menu. Fresh look too - new interiors, brighter decor, and a good patio seating. Sri Lankan food good us excited and we ordered Vegetarian Kothu ($22), Kerala Mutton Stew (27), and Plain Dosa ($15) for our little one. Cocktails are mixed by their partner, Vincent who was friendly enough to chat with us and also make a very good Old Fashioned! Food overall was good, although the Kothu did not live up to it's Sri Lankan standards (my reference being Sigiri on LES). Kothu was very roti forward and lacked the kind of roasted taste that I was expected. It was much more moist and didn't really have much flavor. The stew on the other hand was flavorful and tasted better the next day! Service was excellent, and the menu is slightly on the pricier side. Definitely worth a visit for their South Indian menu and cocktails. Will visit again with friends and family!

Amazing cuisine, service, and look to the whole restaurant

Outstanding service. Manager helped us pick dishes. Food was great.

Great initiative to bring some Sri Lankan food to the table, cute place with good service. However, if you are looking for authentic sri lankan food this may not be the place to go. We ordered the egg hopper, lamb kottu and mutton rolls. Kottu was very mushy and lacking flavor, egg hopper was cold and stiff and for a whopping $9 dollars for one egg hopper it was definitely not worth the price. Mutton rolls were crispy but again lacking flavor and actual mutton in the roll. Manager was willing to serve us another dish instead but we chose not to get anymore to not be disappointed any further.

Excellent food. Fish tawa fry and dosas were excellent. Restaurant manager Satish was very attentive to our needs!

Good food Good mood thank you.😊

Great curated menu and friendly staff

Delicious South Indian food. Just the right amount of spice. Attentive but not pushy service.

Went here with Indian friendo and we were all impressed with the food, including its authenticity, and the friendliness of the staff

Excellent food!!! So flavorful and if you ask for spicy, they will deliver! We really enjoyed our meal and the staff was super helpful and attentive. We LOVED this masala dosa (we added chili) - we have tried dosas at other popular restaurants around nyc, and we were by far most impressed with this one. Loved the kerela beef and the prawns.

Really enjoyed this place! We went there for lunch today and loved their masala dosa and meat thali. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good Indian flavor meal 🥘

In the professional opinion of my partner & I, this was among the best South Indian food you can find anywhere. The flavors and dishes executed were of the highest quality. Excellent meal. Sorry we didn’t have room for dessert. Will look forward to returning.

Great service and even better food.

I had the pleasure of being served by Alonso at the bar, and I must say, he truly knows his craft! He made me an exceptional Aperol Negroni that was both visually stunning and delicious. But what really stood out was Alonso's fantastic customer service skills - he was attentive, friendly, and made sure I felt welcome and taken care of throughout my visit. If you're a cocktail enthusiast like myself, do yourself a favor and stop by the bar. Ask for Alonso, and let him work his magic! 5 stars, hands down!

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this restaurant. The day before I was scheduled to start my shift as a bartender, I received a text message from them informing me that I should not come in because they had found someone with "better experience." No phone call, no apology—just an unprofessional, impersonal text message. This lack of professionalism and respect for my time was shocking, especially after I had made plans and was prepared to begin working there. It's clear they don't value their staff or communicate with any regard for courtesy. I won't be pursuing any future opportunities with this place, and I highly suggest others avoid it if you want to be treated with respect.

WOW!! Best night out I've had in a long time. Amazing, AMAZING food, and fast, professional service from the staff. The cocktail I had was exactly what I needed too ;)

This is a Tamil restaurant. It did not feel sri Lankan by any means! With that said, the food was insanely greasy and we felt queasy after we had it. The stipulation that we couldn't share the banana leaf thali did not make any sense, especially at the 45$ price point and somehow we could share if we got another entree! For shame!! It wasn't clear to us what the difference between a banana leaf special meal and a regular thali was other than a 25$ difference in price. The service was dearly lacking in that we weren't told what we'd get in the banana leaf thali, and we ended up ordering the polichi kozhi, which featured in the thali anyway (this item is probably the quickest way to a heart attack on planet earth. If it were any more oily the US would have invaded it!!) The thali itself was mediocre. The fish entrees were poor. There was no parotta included. All the curries tasted the same. The vegetarian options fared slightly better than the non vegetarian options. The only thing that probably stood out was the yogurt that came with the thali. We will not be returning to this one as we left with a puky feeling.

Amazing Food and Ambience. Great hospitality

A lovely, cosy place to get lunch. Will be going back soon.

I’m Sri Lankan and when I found that this food was as close as to authenticity specially in the City I loved everything about it . Will come here again for sure

Lungi is a newly opened addition to NYC’s diverse food scene. With its vibrant dishes and welcoming space, it’s perfect for anyone looking to explore the flavors of South India and Sri Lanka. Stick to their signature dishes, and you won’t be disappointed! What Stands Out: Sunday Banana Leaf Thali: This traditional feast is a must-try, and I can’t wait to go back for it! Food Quality: The flavors are bold and authentic, offering a taste of South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine without trekking to Queens. Spacious Dining Area: While the entrance feels compact, don’t be fooled—there’s a massive space in the back, making it ideal for group outings. Convenient Manhattan location, saving you a trip to Queens for similar cuisine. What I Tried: Podi Dosa: A standout dish—crispy, spicy, and absolutely FANTASTIC! Poricha Kozhi (Chicken Appetizer): A definite must-try. Kathu Roti: Flavorsome and hearty. Kari Dosa: Delicious and satisfying. Nandu Charu (Crab Soup): Unfortunately, this one didn’t live up to the rest—can be skipped. Drinks: The mango lassi, while enjoyable, had a hint of artificial flavoring. It’s still refreshing but not the most authentic take.

Gluten friendly, authentic, heaven

We had a great time at Lungi, the food was delicious and our server Ahmed was a great host and ensured we enjoyed our orders. Highly recommend !

Loved the Rameshwaram dosa and the Vada. Mocktails were okay-ish.

What an experience trying authentic Sri Lankan dishes in NYC. There aren’t many restaurants that offer this cuisine in Manhattan, and this one is right in our neighborhood. The manager, Satish, was so helpful because we didn’t know where to start. Can’t wait to go back and try some more of his recommendations and probably repeat some from this meal. Favorites were - Guntur Chili Mushroom, Chicken Ambur Biryani, and the Veg Kothu Roti.

Food was good but extremely overpriced for what it is imo. $28 for a few chunks of meat is insane. Left feeling hungry despite ordering additional sides.

Excellent service even better food. The cocktails tasty and creative. Can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.

I was very excited to see this restaurant come up particularly as there aren't a lot of options for Sri Lankan food in the city! I booked a large group birthday dinner there recently and was very pleased with the food and drinks. Standout dish for me was the black short rib curry, and I look forward to going back to try more of the meat and fish dishes since our selections were mostly vegetarian this time. The restaurant has a clean modern look and feel, and it's a nice touch that the servers wear lungis. Service & coordination was a bit off at the restaurant but understandably so given it's a newly launched establishment & menu. We'll definitely be back again soon!

Agree with Wang below. Pushy manager when it came to choosing dishes. The lamprais, coconut milk, beet side dish, parotta, eggplant was SUPERB. Mediocre idli and very mediocre dosa with a tiny amount of Sambar which was weakz Coconut chutney on both occasions was just terrible. My friend had the veg thali meal. Not a good value for money for a thali meal. Few choices. No vegetables or anything substantial. A small cup of channa, a small cup of puzhi kolumbu, some rice and a small cup of rasam, yogurt. The parotta was excellent. Each tasted good but overall not a good value for money. Has great potential if they take customer feedback and make some course corrections.

Amazing food! This place is new and is focused on Sri Lankan and regional South Indian cuisine. Really unique menu and lots of great vegetarian options!

Delicious Sri Lankan cuisine served in a sleek, modern setting. The food is well-flavored, with standout dishes including the Kothu Roti, Lamb Lamprais, and Black Short Rib Curry. The hoppers are also fantastic. While the staff were generally friendly and helpful with recommendations, they did feel a bit pushy with the ordering process.

Amazing place to enjoy sri lankan food . Best place to enjoy the sea food.🥰🥰 Please try the lungi old fashion amazing it is🤩🤩🤩

So delighted that an authentic Sri Lankan restaurant has opened near me!! Food was delicious and Chef Vasant came personally to the table to ask what I thought of it. Definitely give it a try - the mix of sweet and savory is really terrific!

The staff is very nice. However the Sri Lankan fare here is not very Sri Lankan and doesn’t taste anything close to it. Their South Indian food is good. But if you want to taste Sri Lankan fare I would recommend Sigiri or Staten island Sri Lankan food. Mutton rolls here are prob the only thing that taste good close to Sri Lankan. Being Sri Lankan , I will def not recommend this as authentic Sri Lankan it’s more of a South Indian influenced Sri Lankan ( hopper/egg hopper is extra large, their strong hopper is not the thin string hopper ). The parata is very good. 2 stars because of the food else it’s a nice ambiance and nice staff

A new hidden gem that I think will become more popular particularly because we don’t have as much South Indian and Sri Lankan spots in Manhattan. Loved the hoppers, duck chettinad, Kerala beef chukka, and prawn curry. The service was not super fast and a little chaotic lol but our server was friendly and the food made it worth it!

We booked a table for dinner via OpenTable and trekked up here excited to try the place. We had been contacted to confirm that we were still coming. I had a relative visiting who wanted to try Sri Lankan food. We showed up and it was closed. No explanation or anyone to contact. Do not trust these charlatans

Best flavors ever, top service, awesome cocktails

Food is very nice and delicious, managers, waiters and bartenders are super friendly. Highly recommended!

Manager Satish and his team were such a joy and breath of fresh air to Upper East Side! The experience was sublime, the food was deliciously appetizing, the service was exceptional. Will be returning to become a regular!

I’ve tried it twice and thought both times were excellent. Beef fry, and the mutton biriyani were my favorites and very authentic, but everything was very good (neighboring table loved their kotthuroti with lamb). Very excited to have Lungi in the neighborhood!

Got the weekend banana leaf non-veg meal. It included beef mutton, mutton rolls (my only favorite), baby shark, chicken, and veg curries. Also had white rice, chicken biryani, and ras malai. It was different from what I usually eat. I grew up eating mainly North Indian food. And when I eat Indian food, I usually eat veg because I feel Indian veg tastes better than Indian non-veg. I think I will try this place’s veg food in the future. But for the price, it’s kinda too expensive and I may go elsewhere for my comfort Indian food needs. Especially since I used to really like coming here for the old restaurant (Imli) and the dishes they had. Note: I see a lot of people with glowing reviews and say it tastes pretty authentic. So this also may just be my own preference.

The incompetence of this place angers me. We came in, excited to have hopper dosas, and then we asked and they said “no, only banana leaf meal.” We contemplated leaving but stayed to give it a chance. It took 30 minutes to get our original meals and it was good, just a massive amount of food. We couldn’t finish it. Anyway, it took an hour until we finally cracked. We ordered a idli and vegetable biryani, but it had not shown up! Like how long does a simple dish take to make! We left an hour after we came and the person who ordered the biryani and idli was left hungry. Crazy. The waiter was not listening to us even after we reminded them 3+ times to get the food. Don’t come here for your own sake. 0 stars.

Excelent food and service we Will be back

Great experience at the restaurant. Came here a lot when it was Imli and digging the Sri Lankan revamp. Great food and service!

The Southern Indian and Sri Lankan dishes were a delicious discovery. We loved the richness of the flavor as well as the spiciness. The hopper were an excellent way to pick up the food and were tasty in their own right.

Lungi has the kind of food that makes you want to come back, but the service is so painfully inept that it turns the whole experience sour.

Food was amazing however they were severely short staffed which lead to severe delay with service. However the staff tried their best and was courteous. food was worth the wait.

We just ordered for pickup to try the new pivot to Sri Lankan food, and received the best service we have had all year. Béla provided us with INCREDIBLE drinks and absolutely made the experience memorable. We will be back because of his amazing service and welcoming attitude. He is one of a kind and makes an incredible negroni. The food was delicious as well (Kori Ghassi was the standout.) Would appreciate larger portions in the future, maybe double up on the Parathi and add slightly more Kari to each dish. Wishing you the best of luck in the future. We will be back often and tell our friends to come as too.

Finally!!! A coastal Indian food (and yes, Sri Lankan) restaurant in Manhattan! We have an endless amount of North Indian, Tamilian, and fusion (e.g. Indian Accent, Baar Baar, etc) restaurants in the city. I’ve been dreaming of having good Kerala food here for years. So happy to have randomly discovered this wonderful place yesterday. Great service and everything we had (Pepper Yera Varuval, Eggplant Moju, and Kori Ghassi with both rice and hoppers) was delicious! Will definitely be back.

Can't say enough amazing things about Lungi! As a Sri Lankan, I can 100% vouch for the authenticity and taste of the food!!! Honestly feels like I'm back at my parents home for a home-cooked meal. The Kothu roti is delicious and not soggy or doused in curry, the lunch special leaves you completely content! I went with my non-Sri Lankan friends and the described the flavors as bold but are not overwhelmingly spicy, just the perfect balance! Will definitely be a regular moving forward!!! Thanks for doing Sri Lankan cuisine justice and sharing it with the rest of NYC!

Fantastic food! Perfect blending of flavors! I am obsessed with this restaurant, I go at least 3 times a week! The chef Sathish Raj accommodates my personal tastes every time. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. The waitress Afreen not only is personable but also very attentive and eager to please the customers. The manager, Vasani, is a unique jewel, with his personal recommendations and social expertise. The Garlic Naan is cooked to perfection, and I order it every time! Definitely try Chicken Tikka Masala, Murg Korma, and Goat Curry: their sauces are so exquisite that you will become addicted as well. I am so happy that I have found the best Indian restaurant in my neighborhood!

Superb taste with menu choices to suit any palate served by an attentive staff in a relaxing environment make Imli a triple threat for a great night out. The drink pour is also incredibly generous and reasonably priced. My recommendation is the vegetable samosa to start and the chicken murgh korma entrée. The Naan choices are also can't miss.

We had a great meal at Imli in their enclosed patio area, which they happily opened up for us when we asked. The service was friendly and very competent, and the food was excellent. They also had some dishes that we love that we don't generally see at restaurants (eg the lachha paratha and the dal tadka, both of which i heartily recommend). This was great and I will definitely be back when I can.

Today (10-Aug-2024) we went to Imli for dinner for 15 people and they did an absolute amazing job from food to service! They greeted us, they gave us the seating we wanted, they made sure our food came out on time, they made sure everyone had everything they needed, they took pictures for us, and were extremely attentive! The food was delicious such as the cauliflower Manchurian, ragda pattice, tandoori shrimp, kollam beef curry, goat biriyani! We thoroughly enjoyed their food and service! Thank you very much Imli!

The best Indian food I have ever eaten and fantastic service. We arrived at the restaurant soaking wet due to a sudden downpour. The manager Sathish Raj personally welcomed us in a very friendly manner and handed us towels and even a dry T-shirt. The overall service during the meal was also uniquely good. We had three different types of curry. Everything was delicious and freshly prepared. Raj was always very helpful. My son's milk intolerance was also no problem at all. The kitchen had a good solution for this. The IMLI is definitely recommended! The prices are very reasonable! The whole stuff-team was very polite. We will definitely come back!

Best happy hour in the city and amazing food. Not to mention the incredible service!

The food is amazing here. A hidden gem in the neighborhood. Aafreen was super attentive and took great care of us.

Today I visited Imli, expecting a delightful Indian dining experience, but unfortunately, the chicken curry I ordered was a major letdown. The dish lacked the rich, bold flavors I anticipated; instead, it tasted bland and uninspired. The chicken was overcooked and dry, making it hard to enjoy. Moreover, the curry sauce was watery and lacked the depth of spices that is characteristic of a good chicken curry. I could hardly detect any of the traditional aromas that typically tantalize the senses. Overall, I left the restaurant feeling disappointed and unlikely to return for another meal. I hope they can improve their recipe as it has great potential!

I can't say enough on how amazing the food is! It took me back to my childhood. An Indian family lived below us and our families shared meals with each other. I was so happy to have that experience again when I took a bite into memory lane. I highly recommend your taste buds to enjoy themselves to a wonderful evening of flavor. 😋😋 Don't forget to ask for Anna; as her sweet personality and great recommendations of tasty dishes add to the experience. Buen provecho Bon appetit

Excellent service, taste, atmosphere

Great food/drinks, great happy hour prices, and wonderful service! It was busy enough to know that people love it, but not so busy that we couldn’t get a table on a Friday night. We’ll definitely be returning!

Had a lovely experience with our server Anna! Food was great and such a cute atmosphere!
