    Amazing dining experience with a unique menu for both drinks and food. Our server was very friendly and helpful with food recommendations. The paneer tikka pinwheel was the best Ive had and along with a very flavorful chicken shwarma biryani. The dining experience was visually refreshing supplemented by perfect drinks and delicious food. Highly recommend for a unique experience

    My spouse and I had the pleasure of dining at “Carnival” yesterday to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional warmth and hospitality that truly sets this place apart from any other restaurant in town. Having visited several renowned establishments, none come close to matching the level of care, taste, and experience we received here. Special thanks to Mr. Dev for making every moment unforgettable. We enjoyed outstanding Mojitos, Inside Out Vada Pav, Paneer Tikka, Duet Curry Malai Kofta, Naan, and the decadent 3-Tier Gulab Jamun Rabri dessert. The food was simply exquisite, and we can’t wait to return to explore more of the menu. Ratings: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Menu Variety: 5/5

    Very light serving but delicious and a little bit on the expensive side. The server was great Will have wished for two appetizers instead of the main menu but it was a little difficult to understand the description from the menu. Not familiar with Indian food.

    Cannot recommend Carnival highly enough! Between the incredible service and attention we received from our servers Dave and Paras, the great cocktails and the phenomenal Indian food this was a 5 star experience in every way. Really loved the modern take on Indian Cuisine (especially the dishes that fused it with other Asian styles), and the presentation of the table-side dishes was incredible, we couldn’t stop smiling. Not a single item we tried disappointed, and we will eagerly come back again to try even more.

    Carnival Contemporary Restaurant and Cocktail Bar is a fantastic spot with a lively vibe. The food is creative and delicious, made with fresh, local ingredients, while the cocktails are unique and refreshing. The atmosphere is stylish yet welcoming, perfect for a fun night out. Overall, it's a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food and drinks {and yes there cocktails are 200% better then Bar chef}. Trust me you won’t regret going there.
