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.

Wish I had pictures of the food but I legitimately ate it before I remmebered to snap some shots of it. Chef Prasad is great, his food is always incredible (I recommend the Dal Makhni) and is ready quickly. Chef is also very nice and treats you like an old friend, which tops off the experience. Very much worth the price in my opinion. Plus, you usually get your takeout order in a reusable tote bag which is a really nice touch since it's eco-friendly/reusable/returnable. Thank you Chef!

We ordered online this evening from Chef Prasad in New Canaan, and in the notes, we mentioned an allergy - and we got a phone call from the restaurant to make sure that we would be OK (Thanks, Chuck!). Our food was delicious! The customer service was fabulous! And there were no allergy issues. Can't wait to try something else next time!

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’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.)

O M G! This is by far the best curry in all of CT! Unlike other local Indian restaurants, you can taste the fresh ingredients! The care and attention put into the food, service and atmosphere is 5 star!

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 canapes, 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.

It's a welcoming, well located restaurant with delicious food and gracious service. The three of us had a complete meal with nan, appetizers, mains and side and each item was nicely presented and was truly excellent. The "hot" dishes had the right amount of heat, the more delicate dishes were artfully prepared and the service was willing and professional. The prices are very reasonable and this restaurant is a welcome addition to the New Canaan expensive restaurant landscape.
