    It USED to be my favorite indian restaurant. But my last visit was a disaster. Prices are quite steep - yet quality of the MEAT especially - MUTTON leaves a lot to be desired. Ordered mutton biryani and the mutton was tough and hardly chewable. On top they use the same condiments ( MASALA) whether in their rice or curries - whereby very little variety of taste. But the SERVICE was- and has always been fantastic

    This place is a must visit for lovers of authentic Indian cuisine. Nestled in the Karen, this restaurant delivers rich, flavorful dishes that capture the essence of traditional Indian cooking. From the perfectly spiced Tandoori Chicken to the creamy Chicken Makhanwala, Palak Paneer, and hearty Mutton Rogan Josh, every bite is a celebration of taste and tradition. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it perfect for family dinners, casual lunches, or special gatherings. With generous portions, expertly balanced spices, and a menu that caters to both classic and adventurous palates, Open House Karen consistently offers a satisfying and memorable dining experience. #EatOutApproved!

    This place was so good and we had amazing service too!! Our server was knowledgeable and very helpful. I was worried about it being too spicy because I've had "mild" Indian food before and I couldn't even eat it. The server said they don't add any chili unless we ask. The food was so good, flavorful and did not disappoint. We initially ordered too much naan and chips (we were hungry!!). He suggested an appropriate amount and if we needed more then he would bring. I'm so glad he did that because the chips would have been way too many. We did end up ordering more naan but that's because we wanted to bring it home with our leftovers. Everyone really enjoyed their meal and our kids want to go back for more. Again our server was amazing!!

    This is a good place to have an Indian meal around Karen. No complain yet at all. Enjoyed my meal and the ambience. The staff are so respectful and always give you your space. There's one Coastarian guy whoever, he's so friendly and so ready to engage on a talk and welcome you to enjoy your meal with a smile. And I of course rang the bell today.

    Service was excellent. Location is convenient. Setting is beautiful. I had a seat by the window looking out to the street and liked that the restaurant was especially quiet when I went (5pm on a Tuesday). But the dishes I ordered were just so-so. The garlic wings didn't really taste garlicky but had some other salty taste with red food coloring that was a little off putting. The chilly paneer was not as crispy or sticky as I have tasted elsewhere. The tandoori paratha was ok but a little too thick. I won't order the same dishes if I go back.
