    Great food and an excellent overall experience! Lota Restaurant takes real pride in preparing and serving authentic East Indian cuisine. The food was flavorful, the service was attentive, and they made sure we were enjoying every part of the meal. If you’re looking for authentic East Indian food with genuine hospitality, Lota is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

    As former 2 Gingers fans we are so disappointed in to-go dinner from here 😭 my Aloo Gobi was literally just a full cup of peas with 3 tiny potatoes and 2 tiny cauliflower stems and so oily it leaked through 2 paper plates. Not the usual gravy curry consistency. Asked to add paneer (was $2 extra -fine) but a SPRINKLE of shredded cheese. The garlic naan was so dry and hard you had to tug it to break it apart and didnt have hardly any flavor. The highway 65 chicken was just oily mush with 4 little pieces of chicken that was mostly bone and one piece was just a joint piece. We asked for medium spice level and couldn't taste the slightest bit of spice. For 2 entrees it was $60. The workers were very kind and its beautiful inside. But the price for the to go portion and quality of food was not worth it 💔

    Got the highway chicken and an order of garlic naan. The highway chicken came with four chickfila nugget sized pieces of chicken, which were bone-in, so altogether less meat than four chicken nuggets. Could also only really pick out salt as a flavor. The garlic naan was super tough and more or less tasted like regular naan.The photo is the bones from all of the chicken nugget sized pieces of meat

    The biryani and chicken tikka masala were really good and I liked the portion sizes. The garlic naan is very crisp too and the mango lassi was just right in terms of sweetness. I ordered takeout and the staff were very hospitable, allowing me to sit at the bar while they were preparing my order.

    First of all, thank you to all the staff at Lota for this wonderful dining experience. Everyone was highly attentive and sought to make sure I was completely taken care of. The chef, Ravi, was kind to help me find vegan options on the menu— my food was very flavorful and graciously portioned. This is the best Indian food I have had in Columbia 💗. The music was nice as well. Thank you, staff at Lota.
