An absolutely amazing experience, food super delicious and only the freshest ingredients. Waiter Yogi, was fantastic 👏👌🙌😀😍

One of the worst experiences ever..one can still bear bad food in exchange of best service..We as Indians felt like racism at the restaurant..made to sit in a corner..hardly nyone coming to attend..almost choked coughing and waiter ignored completely when my friend rushed to call for water and help..icing on d cake..manager Sunil was more curious to warn us to ensure our mask is on without caring why we were running in d restaurant...average tasting food and taste became even sour with pathetic customer service....please make efforts and cook urself instead of facing experience as ours

Food was absolutely gorgeous 😋. Easy service, waiter was always available. On a busy night it can take up to 30 minutes for food to be served. But definitely worth the wait

1st time in 3 years that I was here, wow food and vibe is amazing will definitely invite others to join me on this fine experience

Best Indian cuisine guaranteed! Sometimes they slack but easily corrected. Really worth your money!

Excellent food Excellent service cant wait to go back

Its alright, lighting is very dim, and food was alright, but my cheesecake slice was frozen and others at my table also had a few complaints but mostly alright. overall not too bad, but I most likely wouldnt go again

Not sure why people complain about the price? Portions are sizeable I couldnt finish my food. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Thank you for your awesome hospitality.

The food was good but not the best Ive tasted. Over priced. Terrible service. I would not visit this restaurant again.

Bihari never dissapoints. We had an amazing meal here,butter chicken and prawn korma were both perfection. Service is always great. Highly recommend

Very professional. On arrival , Covid protocols , friendly staff. Our waiter was fantastic and knows his menu and came up with some good food decisions. The waiter was not o er bearing like the ones at The Spur , truly a step above the rest.

I love that they are consistently good every single time I eat there. The staff are friendly, its clean, the food is excellently spicy, just the way I want it and you can see the chefs cooking. If you want awesome curry, go visit Biharis. You will not be sorry.

Its a place you take someone you want to impress. Calm atmosphere, nice wine selection, sharp service, and of course, true Indian food. If youre an Indian food poser, dont eat here - when they say its hot - its hot. About R200 per person, including drinks, large portions you can share. Sadly, no wheelchair access

If I was going on the Palak Paneer alone this would be 1 star. It was bland and had zero curry taste. It was underwhelming and close to inedible.The samosas were also bland and pretty oily, the naan bread tasted okay but was very greasy. The only reason I would give this 3 stars (more like 2.5 but that is not an option) is my boyfriends prawn masala was decent. Not great but okay. Overall the food was very meh. We all ordered medium spice but there was almost no spice and the flavor was not there. I dont understand how this has such great reviews, we went there expecting good food because of the misleading reviews. It is also really expensive, 150 to 250 rand per main dish but the flavor is no where near the price they are charging. There are so many Indian places around I would recommend chosing one of the others. The pictures look a lot better than the taste. The waitress was nice, not overly friendly but nice and the wine was good.

Wow, thought Id travelled to the South East of Asia after that dining experience. Please treat yourself and your partner, even the kids will have a good time.

Lovely service and food was good . but over R230 for curry ! whats happening guys?

Very expensive but excellent food. Yogi is amazing

Location easily accessible.Parking secured.Structure old but gold.Staff friendly and approachable.Menu : very expensive but its worth it.

Great Northern India food, Great friendly service in a fairly big restaurant with well designed layout to make it feel quite private.

Bihari is a great restaurant to go with friends, but for the price I have had better dishes elsewhere.Service is definitely not what I expected for such a restaurant. If you looking for a great meal with a great vibe then Cape Town definitely has way better options.

Their samosas are wonderful! And their dhal is fantastic, I highly recommend Bihari. Its a particularly fun experience with a big group so you can get lots ofdifferent dishes and try out a ton of things. Quite an upscale and pricey place.

If I were to choose any restaurant in Cape Town for the best curry, Bihari in Newlands, would be my first choice. Great service, great food and real value. My favourite starter is a plate of hot crispy Prawn Koliwada followed by the Daal Makani, a superb lentil dish or the Lamb Bhunna Gosht. Added to this a bowl of fresh Cucumber Raita and a delicious garlic Naan bread. My kind of heaven.

What a wonderful experience to return after a long absence and be warmly greeted and treated to exceptionally cooked lentils and tandoori fish. The margaritas offered the perfect accompaniment. Thank you!

Great food but before that great service and even a very warm welcome from the door ...most delicious Indian cuisine and to die for chicken cheese tikka

Delicious food, superb service, impeccable attention to detail and consistency every time!

Mmmmmm just love the food..... its fantastic, I have no problem at all with this place

Tandoori chicken was burnt, the mint sauce tasted just like plain yogurt and we had to ask for some mint to be added. The outside table are very uninviting.

Food was good, place is clean and nice.. service was ok, waitress didnt even ask for water or put glasses on the table. Not sure if thats how they serve food or it happened with me only.

The food can do with extra saltOverall I love the protocol standards, the service to excellence by the waitress👌

Amazing ambience and the food was to die for. Lovely flavours and spices and aromas. A feast for the taste buds.

Love the tandoor style prawns. Brilliant

Great service and even better food!

Authentic Indian cuisine, tasty, well spiced and pleasant on the pallet. Restaurant is well placed in Claremont.Recommended for good Indian curries.

Worst service ever...m okay to pay for bad food once if they treat their customers warmly...my husband was badly coughing and needed water ...waiters were completely ignorant when called ...rushed to call someone asking to serve us with water...they serve us water later but manager walks up to our table pointing us to wear mask....cud see racism behavior from not just support staff but manager too...if you are not whites .

Excellent food. They had a huge improvement since the last time I came. The portions are much bigger now and very flavourful. The only thing I dislike was the food took very long to come but with the quality I dont really mind the wait.

Curry was good, staff helpful, needs a facelift

Food is excellent, portions are great, good enough to take home. We had a very friendly waiter.

Excellent food, but pricey.

Excellent food and service

I really enjoyed the food! Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Great place for curry in Cape Town. Lamb somosas were toothsome. Dahl Makhani is bold.

We ordered from Mr delivery, I have been struggling to find good quality Indian food with the real deal garlic naan bread.. and even the the price was a tad above average the food was delicious!! They have good quality meat..(no fat pieces) actual meat!!! With delicious sauce, the owner was a British lady I think, who was so kind when Mr Delivery spilt our food out during delivery. All in all very happy with the quality and quantity of the food. Please stay just as you are! As quality and quantity is hard to find. All the love

Best Tandoor in town.Basted in butter and cooked in a clay pot to perfection 👌

Great authentic Indian food. Good service

Our go too place if we feel for good food and a little date ❤

Food is expensive, but divine! Yum.

Bihari reignited my love of Indian food and now I have regular dreams of their butter Naan bread and samoosas... Not to mention their delicious lamb masala! Every guest weve taken to Bihari has been blown away by the service, food, and ambience. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in Cape Town.

Legit Indian cuisine - great portion size and prepared with zest

Food was delicious in a tranquil setting..service is friendly and accommodating.should you enjoy spicey food from mild to hot,then its a good place to visit

Nice Indian food 👌

We had a great lunch here, the food is great and the portion is good for the price.Will come back again definitely.

Excellent Indian Food in Capetown. Of the several Indian restaurants that I ate in this is probably the best of the lot.

Did a team lunch at Bihari. Enjoyed the food. Such good flavours. Will definitely go back

Fine dining experience of good curries in CT

Makes me sick how people can say theyre halaal but they serve alcohol. Sad state of what Muslims are in.

Had a nice meal there. quiet well laid out place. pleasant staff. good menu. easy safe parking. and a pleasant bar/lounge to relax in after the meal.

Butter Chicken was very tasty

No halal certificate and the presentation of the food needs improvement considering the price per meal. Its like an average Indian restaurant with the price range of a quality restaurant. Even the furniture was torn. The food is nice though.

The food was great, just note that they dont make chai lattes.

Loved the service! The guy was so non intrusive, but at the same time so helpful in guiding my to decide what (Indian) food to go with. And, of course, what wine to pair it with. They like advance booking though, as I didnt have one they put me at a small table on a corner, but still pleasant and with lots of space to handle my meal. Will certainly go again...

Brilliant curry very good service reasonable prices

Always good food and attentive service. The butter chicken and naan is divine.

Had a dinner reservation for 8:30pm and the kitchen closes at 9pm which we were not aware off. The dining experience was very rushed with the food coming out quickly.We ate the Butter Chicken was good and the Paneer Tikka Masala which lacked the authentic tikka taste. The garlic Naan was also a bit doughy and heavy but had good flavor. Mango lassis were well balanced in flavor and consistency

Do yourself a favour and visit this restaurant! I naturally look at every small detail wherever I go, from making the reservation telephonically, until the end, because its ingrained in me as a F&B Management graduate with years of experience - and I can be quite special at times, so trust me when I say that this place provides top star service excellence! The managers went out of their way to accommodate all of our special requests (and we had a few), so that we could have a lovely 50th birthday celebration in honour of my mother. Great social distancing during Covid-19, so we definitely felt safe. Our cutlery and napkins were prepackaged, ensuring mininal handling during these scary times, which put us at ease. Megan, the manager is an absolute pleasure to deal with - such a sweetheart!! Waitrons were friendly and exceptionally helpful!! Back in 2009 I use to frequent the restaurant after work (I worked at Southern Sun Newlands), and very happy that nothing had changed .. still feels like home to me. The food is still delicious and worth every penny. The masala chai deserves 5 stars too. I was missing the tall, thin manager who was there at the time, but overall a great experience. THANK YOU, Bihari!! Well be back very soon!!

This is a go to place for Indian cuisine. Its perfect. You wont regret it. Ph yes they have large portions. Defnately worth every cent.

Delicious food, not overly spicy. Stayed at hotel, so we did room service 3 nights. Evening hostess, abrupt and rude. Always was unsure and not helpful. Jerry was the best from the bar. Friendly and courteous. Last night, couldnt order coz they were too busy for just one small order.

The Food at Bihari is consistently good.Full of flavor with just the right amount heat. Chicken is never dried out. Service is great too.However, the restaurant decor, including table settings, really needs to be freshened up.The dessert menu could also do with a makeover. Won’t order dessert again.

Must make a booking prior to meal. Ambiance was OK... Nothing fantastic. Food was awesome and fantastic. The food is really recommended... Try the butter chicken or the chicken lababdar... Really well worth it...

Best curry in Cape Town!!

The food is authentic Indian food. We are from Johannesburg where we have a lot of options for authentic Indian food. After trying a lot of other restaurants in Capetown found this gem. The ambience is great as well. It is a bit expensive but I feel its value for money as compared to other Indian restaurants in Capetown.

The Vindaloo, it was great!!!

Chicken Lababdar is the best.

Good service and really good food. Place is inside the hotel so pass reception and ask for directions if heading here for the first time.From starters, main course to dessert and beverages, you will definitely not be disappointed with the experience.

Amazing food.Authentic Indian cuisineEnjoy!!

Had an awesome authentic North Indian cuisine. Friendly waiters offering patronising services and attention. Popular venue to tourists and locals. A must if you in Cape Town.

Without a doubt the best Indian restaurant in Cape Town hands down! Ive been many times and will continue to go. The staff are super friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Good food but it sounds like theres a constant washing machine on all the time. The staff were abrupt and speaking loudly to one another. Service could be improved.

The best, authentic Indian cuisine in the Mother City. Weve been eating here for a number of years and have never had cause for complaint. The service is also very good. Overall, a great venue for a special night out.

Nice Indian style food, nice ambience. But so far from my experience I feel only starters are good. Other than that breads , curry are below average doesnt meet actual Indian taste.

Wow, not seen Indian restuarant so high-end! Services was impeccable, alcohol of all kinds, extensive wine list, great, fresh food, no south indian food but you will not miss it. Place is live with mostly white people, but also other kinds. food for 4 was 2000 Rands with minimal drinks, gives you an idea price wise. Make sure you try it if in Cape Town, gives the wow feel!!

Fantastic food and generous portions! More than enough food for the price. The waiter suggested a dish for me to try based on what I thought I wanted and it was amazing. Great service!

Food was very good. However our waiter brought me lamb korma instead of chicken.Still Very tasty. A bit of a Hotel feel with decor and layout.

Top class best Indian Cuisine in Cape Town

Upscale Indian restaurant with focus on North Indian cuisine; as the name suggests, food preparation and usage of spices is on the mark!Masala Tea is a surprisingly good! Staff is warm and friendly!!Give it a try if youre around, you wont be disappointed if youre craving for North Indian food!

Best indian food in Western Cape for sure.

Been here several times... enormous helpings. Food always excellent. Great atmosphere convenient parking. Value for money

Jerry and the bar staff is definitely what makes the experience of visiting Bihari special. To make everyone, as in each and every person, visiting the bar area feel welcome and like you belong there, is no easy feat, but somehow theyve do it every time Ive visited.As for the restuarant, the food and serviceis okay, the staff is friendly and the venue is nice.But the 4-star rating is definitely thanks to the bar staff ... i.m.o Jerry and his team get 5-stars.

Excellent Indian restaurant with great atmosphere. Decent portions, and delicious food (though the butter chicken sometimes seems a bit on the sweet side). Service for the most part is good, though had one experience with a very dis-interested waitress. Booking is essential, though parking is not a problem as you can park at the hotel.

As always, a great experience. The food is of high quality and well portioned

Dishes are a bit too pricey, but the food is always good. Small portions of curry (equivalent to most of Indian places though) but definately sufficient. I keep going back for more. I love the butter chicken (which is not strong at all) and the garlic naan is delicious. The lamb dishes too are tenderly cooked and tasty too.

I come here every year for my birthday and it never fails. The service and food are impeccable! Worth every cent.

Wow, excellent mainly Indian cuisine. My first time for Indian food and Ill go back there tomorrow just to have the peshawar naan bread again. Loved it. Pricing quite reasonable.

The food was well spiced. Great service. The restaurant was empty the night i was there so the atmosphere was a bit sterile. But I would really return for good Indian food.

The food was great. Good portion sizes and definitely good for sharing. The ambience was lovely and the waiters were very amicable. 10/10 would go again.

Amazing! Friendly prompt service, helpful. We asked for a recommendation from the waiter. My wife said that it was the tastiest curry she had ever had. I would have to think hard to find better myself. Plenty, rice included ... often not ... and really reasonable prices.

Good food, consistency and fresh and wholesome flavours. Great choice for a good curry.

The ambiance is great. The food delicious. Will definitely go back.

I wont go back here.Manager sort of chased us away. He wanted my kids to order a full meal for themselves (which is a half chicken)Pathetic service from the manager. But the waiters were very accommodating

Food was as good as you would find at good restaurants in India, the service was pretty well ,the team was courteous, there inhouse collection of wines was also good,would love to visit again.

Didn’t match expectations. Front of house staff didn’t even acknowledge us when we walked in. They looked grumpy and were unwelcoming on arrival as well as when we left. On a more pleasant note we had a great friendly waiter and the food was enjoyable however plating could be improved.
