"It’s the only Fine Indian dining restaurant in Richmond. The menu has nice options in Veg, chicken, shrimp and lamb. We found Appetizers better than the entrees. Drinks are nice too. We tried almost everything the taste was authentic. Quantity is good for two people, definitely not enough for three. The service is not what you would expect in a fine dining restaurant. We were 2 hours from closing time and we were told multiple times to Order quickly and close!!"

"Had an amazing experience here! The food was super delicious and beautifully presented — every dish looked like art 😍 The flavors were on point, and the service was just perfect. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel really welcome. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in Richmond — great place to bring family and enjoy a nice meal together. Can’t wait to go back! 🙌🍛🇮🇳"

"Decided on a spontaneous date night and it did not disappoint! Staff was super knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and attentive. The stand outs were the naan breads (forgot pictures) but to die for! Especially the goat cheese one. The couple apps we tried and mains were also delightful. Eggplant & zucchini would def recommend!"

"While I am definitely more accustomed to the more traditional Indian restaurant, Kismet approaches modern Indian cuisine with both comfort and style. The interior of the restaurant is warm but sleek, their bar funky but full stocked and their staff well rehearsed but not stuffy in the slightest. They offer a great selection of cocktails and appetizers on their happy hour menu, which runs from 5-7pm. My wife and I tried the blood orange Tiger Tail and the Mango Lassi cocktail and both were tremendous - full flavored and very complimentary to our meal. For starters, we shared the tandoori cauliflower, the pesto paneer and the lamb kabobs. The cauliflower was a little on the spicy side, which to me was very welcome, but my wife thought it had just a touch too much heat. The paneer and the lamb were both incredibly delicious, and the mint sauce with the lamb was a perfect compliment. For entrees, we shared the eggplant dish and the zucchini kofta. The eggplant was absolutely delectable, and reminded me a lot of a Mediterranean dip we both love. The zucchini kofta consisted of fried zucchini and chickpeas in a thick tomato curry sauce that was also excellent. Be sure to order some rice or naan with your order as well - we got the goat cheese naan and it was, as the menu says, heavenly. A wonderful restaurant and an excellent spot for a mid week date night. Go see Austin and let him and the staff delight and excite you and show you what the future of Indian cuisine can be!"

"We were very impressed with the service, food and plating presentation. We had a full dinner on a Saturday night. Servers replaced our plates between appetizers and entrees, served frozen rose water as a palate cleanser. The servers and the manager were very attentive making us feel even more special. Our meals were well proportionated, the naan was exceptional , my favorite was the one that had the original flavor and shaped like a flower you pull apart (laccha parantha). I enjoyed my roasted eggplant dish but our group favorite was the chickpea dumplings (zucchini kofta) and our favorite drink was the Sirens Call."
