They have interesting, small dishes that are best enjoyed as a group: family style! The dishes themselves are modifications of the original dish, and I thought they were okay. I would have preferred them closer to the originals. I wish they had more dessert options. They do have outdoor seating, which is great and the staff is amazing.
Okay, the place we were looking for was gone but this place was nearby. Sounded interesting so we stumbled in to find a food paradise. I do recommend the small plates because they are all so good. It’s byob, but a liquor store nearby. The ginger lemonade was amazing. Staff is courteous and efficient, prices are reasonable, we got out for less than 40 a person, not including tip. Update from Xmas 23, Still a food paradise.

What a cute little spot in the heart of Hampden!
We stumbled across this place after googling Indian restaurants in the area and this one stood out. Now I know why! we went by for a Saturday lunch - the restaurant is small and cozy. They were a little short staffed that afternoon but managed to get us seated and served in a timely fashion.
They have indoor and outdoor seating.
Ambiance - the place is well decorated with cushions, paintings, and brightly coloured walls!
Service - fantastic! We got to meet the owner of the place and she was able to make fantastic recommendations for us
Food - I loved the tapas concept, which meant we got to try 4 or 5 different dishes. I also loved that she has kept the flavours authentic and not tried to dampen down the intensity of some of the traditional dishes. I felt like I was eating home cooked food!
(if you are not a fan of richly flavoured, or spicy food, this may not be the place for you)
They have a good selection of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. I do believe they have some vegan options too.
Prices - reasonable
It is very rare to find an Indian restaurant that hasn't "Americanized" their dishes - Verandah kitchen is one of them. We will definitely be back.
We’ve just discovered the Verandah Kitchen and we’re SO happy! The food is spectacular. We’ve only had some of the small plates so far but each is uniquely wonderful. The vegan chocolate mousse dessert was also fantastic. We can’t praise it all enough. The decor is beautiful, the music is thoughtfully selected and stellar. We’ll be back soon and many times!
Stopped by for a quick bite and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really well flavored and rich. I would def return to try more. I loved the vegan selection.
I love this place! Each time I’ve come I’ve ordered the Indian small plates and every dish I’ve tasted is creative, delicious, aromatic and bursting with flavor. It makes my mouth very happy. Looking forward to returning the next time.

My fiance and I dined here on a busy Sunday evening. We sat at one of the outdoor tables. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about The Verandah. Everything was absolutely marvelous. The cuisine was divine, and the family who runs the restaurant and serves the tables is extremely friendly and welcoming. We ordered six different small plates (which they specialize in), and each and every one was unique and delicious. We started with the paneer kofta and the samosa chaat -- both were among the best paneer and samosa dishes I've ever had the pleasure of eating. We then moved on to chilli chicken and amritsari fish fry, which completely blew our expectations for those dishes, and were extremely delicious. We rounded off with vada paav and kheema paav, which were also excellent, though beware that the vada paav is served with roasted serrano peppers which are extremely spicy! Every single dish blew our minds and were among the best indian cuisine we've ever eaten. The family is also extremely friendly and engaged us in memorable dialogue about the various menu items and their pleasure to cook and serve them. I would strongly recommend The Verandah, and we will most certainly be back (frequently). Also, it's BYOB, which is a really great bonus for a small sort of neighborhood restaurant like this.
This place is great! I've been multiple times and it's a consistently amazing meal every time. I've tried many items and have yet to find anything on the menu that isn't tasty. I'd highly recommend Verandah, it's definitely one of the best Indian food restaurants in Baltimore!
Great place to enjoy a quick bite and a drink outside.
Ask for the housemade chilli oil to add some delicious spice to your meal.
They don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own. The wine source is right around the corner so make a quick stop there before.
Presentation and food are both great and the service was a nice compliment to them.
Love the small plate options to share and try many new dishes in one sitting. Small, but nice ambience (except for the obnoxious guy at the table next to us screaming he didn't know he could get herpes by looking in the rear view mirror - to no fault of the restaurant!!!).
