Chef Prasad - New Canaan, Connecticut

The food here is high-quality and tasty, and the blue interior is cute. The staff is very friendly too! However, it was not worth the $150 we ended up spending for two drinks, two apps, two mains and 1 dessert. Their drinks menu is limited and they do not have a cocktail menu. You can ask for something from their limited bar. All the seating is bar seating of high top, so it’s not an ideal place for a romantic date. The staff also did not seem to communicate very well with each other, we had multiple people coming over to take our order even when we just ordered from someone else. Overall, food is good but the experience mediocre.

Never disappoints. Always a hit. I personally love a restaurant thats chef owned, there’s such a reverence for the food and guest experience. Chef Prasad just puts so much heart in every dish. The tandoori lamb chops here are actually insane. I’m not even exaggerating when I say it’s one of the best plates I’ve had all year.

Chef Prassad creates magic in the kitchen. His style of food brings out the many flavors found in Indian cuisine. All good dishes are freshly made and serviced with perfect amount of spices.

We have been eating Chef Prasad's food since we moved here 10-years ago. It's always been amazing and last year he has started chef collaborations, that fuse different culinary styles. The first one we went to was Italian + Indian and the dishes were mind-blowing. The tickets are fairly expensive, but it's worth every cent. It include canapés, 5 courses, the drinks flow and you get to meet like-minded foodies. If you haven't checked it out already - don't miss out by visiting his website.

We’ve been regulars at Chef Prasad’s and Thali for the past 20 years, and the food has been authentic and superb EVERY single time. The hospitality from Chef Prasad and each member of his team also has been so without exception. (Photo shows a recent very tasty, healthy dessert.)

Short staffed, average food, not worthy of another visit.
The appetizer we ordered was the Tandoori Chicken Tikka, which was the best dish of the evening. We also ordered Andhra Chicken, which was too mild and lacked flavor, Dal Makhni which was excessively sweet and Paneer Makhni was definitely better than the Dal and Chicken.
The service was ok considering there was only the bartender and one more guy taking care of all the guests at the Bar and in the dining area. We were not asked the spice level for the food and everything came out mild and sweet.
Some other items on the menu look promising but considering our experience last night, I don't think we will be paying it a second visit.

First of all, the staff is very nice and hospitable. They accomodated us and made sure my family is comfortable. 10/10 on the staff behavior and serving the food.
Second thing is ambience- it looked ok. Nothing to praise about the ambience.

Third/Major thing is food- Little background about my visit. My mom is vegetarian and she wanted to have good indian food on mother’s day. Googled some good restaurants and Chef prasad popped up. Drove 45 mins to get there. Ordered bunch of food items - everything vegetarian. I am not sure if it’s only vegetarian but the Vegetarian food was so bad. Paying $15 avg for a small size appetizer- You expect that to taste good. While leaving the restaurant, my mom literally said that - “You make amazingly good food than this restaurant. Ask their chef to get some lessons on how to make Indian Vegetarian Food”. I think this restaurant is more suitable to those people who do not know what is good Indian food tastes like.

We went there as a hungry group at around 1 PM during week day, for lunch as the Google maps showed the restaurant is open with all lovely photos. Upon entering we realized they would only entertain delivery of food during day time. As we were too hungry to find another restaurant to eat, we ended up sitting there and ordered food using a delivery service on mobile. It seems they entertain dine in only during evening hours. The chefs then gave the packaged foods on our hands and we had to use their place and cutleries to self serve ourselves and eat. It was horrible experience, and we would not have gone there if the google availability timings reflected otherwise. The management should ensure they update google availability.
