The atmosphere of this place is quite nice. Dim lighting and the colour scheme complement each other well. The music.... Could do with some work.... It's a mix of pop and Indian. Each track changes the mood of the place - not ideal. The food was quite nice. The Kori Gassi (chicken curry) was probably the highlight of the meal - if you like your chilli make sure you ask for it to be chilli. The garlic naans were really soft and actually had a garlic taste to it unlike many other places I've been to. The crispy spinach chaat is not really a chaat. It's more like a pakora with sauce on the side (meh). Great cocktail choices. The Hum Tum cocktail was surprisingly nice and sweet (recommended). Overall the staff were friendly, came across a little lazy or maybe they were quite tired. The prices were... astronomically high! Some of the dishes (particularly the raita) not even worth it. The sweet samosas were a pleasant surprise. Have not seen or tried it anywhere else. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a nice place for a special occasion only.

Bhang is a trendy little interpretation of a number of different roadside eateries in India but perhaps mostly a Dhaba. Our reservation for dinner at 9.15 pm on a Saturday found us seated after a 10 minute wait on the ground floor near the bar. Our drinks were brought across fairly quickly - my haldi amigo could have used more tequila and haldi though it held the promise of a near concoction. We ordered the Chicken 65 wings and Spinach fritters for our first course. The chicken wings were far too shy to live up to their boisterous inspiration for a name. The spinach fritters were wonderfully light and were excellent. For the main we decided to share a chicken Kori Gassi. The namesake is a watery but potent gravy from Southwest India(Mangalore especially) called a Gassi into which brittle slivers or a crumbled flatbread(Kori rotti) are dipped and the resultant mess consumed with gusto. What's remarkable about Gassi is the kokum infused into the gravy. What we got was a really good gravy with chicken falling apart and very flavourful, in the absence of the usual flatbread accompaniment we paired it with naans and we're well satisfied though I would not consider the gravy(immensely satisfying as it was) anything that near resembles chicken Gassi. Overall Bhang holds promise and is a pretty good place to scratch your itch for authentic Indian with - you will be more than mildly satisfied.

I love the solid door, creating and completing hiding the atmosphere inside. Downstairs houses the bar serving up cocktail specials to match the cuisine. While upstairs is filled by the aromas from the kitchen. Both spaces are moody and good dining options. The garam masala gin w/ lychee dragonfruit and lime was interesting - spicy and enjoyable but not to everyones taste (at least at my table). The spinach chaat was delicious as was the samosa chickpea (probably the highlight dish). The $25 thali supplied plenty of food but as I’m not one to handle spice too well the flavour of the meal was lost as soon as I got into the goat curry. I can at least say the texture of the goat and chicken were good - If I could somehow ask for a milder dish I’d order again. At 1 hour and 26mins in having also ordered 6 cocktails as a table we were pushed out. Overall an enjoyable experience, lived up to expectations, would recommend.

Food: Overall is light on the palate. I don't want to sound too harsh but as a South Asian I'd like to be honest. The food is great, it's just not exactly Indian cuisine. Ambience: Beautiful interior and the overall design of the restaurant is authentic to South Asian culture. Pros- Decent portion, great presentation, cocktails were yummmmmmy. Cons- Not as flavourful as authentic Indian food which smells of cumin, cardamom and chilli, perhaps it is made that way here for a milder flavour. We asked for it to be spicier but couldn't taste the spice - I think it was just chilli powder sprinkled on top instead of being cooked in the dish. The only real issue I would say is that the food was served lukewarm (seen quite a few reviews saying the same). If you're looking a twist on Indian food that's isn't spicy and tones the flavours down for a much lighter palate and great ambience, this is the place.

My advice; stick to house beer, wine and spirits and avoid the cocktails; the few we ordered tasted exactly the same, despite the different flavour profiles and ingredients mentioned in the menu. Definitely order the garlic naan. The flakiness of the perfectly crafted dough will leave you on a high. Avoid the overly fatty and salty lamb curry; you will be disappointed with the tiny amount of meat and high amount of solid fat. The saltiness will have you craving something fruity, which is what could have potentially saved this dish from being unpleasant. Do not order the veggie curry with plantain, especially if you know what it is. The waiters don't know what plantain is and the dish does not contain it at all, and has potato, instead. A few drinks and naans are a good way to enjoy the cosy and ambient restaurant, but I would not return for a curry any time soon.

One of the best indian flavors..... Edit: (Post Lockdown) Sadly changing my rating to 1... Visited again after the Lockdown but really sad to say that the taste and quality was not at all the same.. Ordered Old Monk Beef which was so bad as all that came to out table was bones with very less meat. This was one of my fav dishes at Bhang but not anymore. Second dish which we ordered was Kashmiri Paneer , Hands down it was one of the worst paneer dishes I had ever tried...Paneer peices were so chewy as it was a old paneer or overcooked.. Cocktails are overly priced.. Alternatively one should visit any good restraunt in the CBD like DaughterInnLaw... I even replied to their feedback email which came the day after.Sadly no reply from their management, It seems they don't even care..
