Had a great experience at GupShup! The food was absolutely amazing—everything was flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our visit. Service was also very fast, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Indian food and excellent hospitality. Looking forward to coming back! 😊
Really loved GupShup! We tried Gucchi mushroom, chicken tikka masala, dahi sev puri, paneer burger, and Amritsari chole tikki and honestly everything was very good. The dahi sev puri had great texture and flavor, and the Amritsari chole tikki was one of the best dishes we had. Chicken tikka masala was rich and tasty, and the paneer burger was a nice fusion item done really well. Ambience is classy, lively, and perfect for a nice outing. Service was also very warm and attentive. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy Indian food with a modern twist.

GupShup is such a fun and vibrant place. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but the flavors and presentation really stand out.
I loved the Bombay sandwich. The quantity was small but it honestly felt like proper Bombay street style, which made it feel authentic. The paneer cheese rolls and jackfruit pull tacos are a must try. Both were packed with flavor and really well done. The butter chicken wings were another highlight. So good and perfectly cooked.
The lychee rabadi dessert was amazing. The sweetness was balanced just right and topped with pistachios, dried rose petals, and fresh lychees. It all came together beautifully and was such a satisfying way to end the meal.
Hospitality was great and the staff were amazing. Glen was our host and gave excellent suggestions. The overall vibe of the place is lively and stylish. Would definitely love to go back and try their dinner menu next time.

The food here is excellent, the drinks were subpar and service can be better.
We went here for our son’s birthday on a rainy afternoon with reservations. We ordered butter chicken, tandoori chicken, dahi puri and naan and stuffed paranthas. We were late for our reservation but they held the table for us and they also gave Gulab jamuns for our son’s birthday which was a nice touch.
All of the food items were exceptionally good; especially the chicken tandoori’s and stuffed paranthas.
The drinks really disappointed; especially given the price tag. My old fashioned tasted syruppy and the lassi was disastrous. For 22$ I couldn’t finish my cocktail and that was disappointing.
Overall I wouldn’t want to complain about service staff; but after automatically being charged 48$ service fee I expect much better service - including not requiring to be called on to take orders, providing cutlery, and cleanup; especially on rainy afternoons when the restaurant isn’t even busy.
The desserts also could use an uplift.
Overall given the price tag I expected much better service and drinks and desserts.
