“ Absolutely love this place! The food is bursting with flavor. Some of it is spicy but not everything. The sandwiches are big enough to split and the chutney that comes with the samosa is good enough to eat with a spoon. The guys who run it are really nice and the atmosphere at Parlor is very cool. It makes my day when I get to have lunch from here! ”
“ Was craving some samosas from Elephant Wings!!!! Sooo, I went and got some. They never disappount - 10/10!!! Perfection! Noticed some freshly baked cookies on the counter! New menu item ... green chili chocolate chip cookies with a touch of chai and a sprinkling of sea salt! One of the BEST cookies I’ve ever had. EVER! Thank you, Ameet, for offering a menu with the most unique and delicious food! Now go to Elephant Wings - an Indian fusion restaurant on the first level of Parlor! ”
“ If there's such a thing as rock-n-roll Indian food, this place comes pretty darn close. Chef Ameet ramps everything up on all his dishes. The spice, the flavor, the heat makes everything incredibly tasty. If given the opportunity, I could probably sustain life eating only his Namaste Shrimp dish. (Yes, it's that good.) If/When I win the lottery, I'm hiring chef Ameet to be my personal chef. His food just rocks ... figuratively and literally. ”
“ We arranged a private, in-home 5-course meal for a birthday celebration. Scheduling and communication with Ahmeet was quick and easy. Not only was the meal exceptional, I dare to say the best meal we’ve ever had! It was such a treat to have a dinner party with no preparation and clean up. All of the details were well thought out; printed menus, table decor and charming anecdotes throughout the meal. Fine dining with a casual atmosphere is exactly what we wanted and received. Kansas City is lucky to have such a gem in Elephant Wings! ”
“ My work team hired Ameet for a private holiday dinner and it was absolutely perfect! The food was excellent, so fresh and delicious. He explained the inspiration and story behind each dish as he served it, which made it feel like a truly immersive experience. Ameet and his sous John were also super friendly and fun in their approach to the food and service, not at all pretentious which was a relief because we are a chill group. Every detail down to the dishes, flatware, glassware, and presentation was beautiful. Definitely would do this again! ”
“ Amazing food! This awesome food spot is on the first floor on The Parlor, on the first floor all the way to the back on the left. My family and I stopped for dinner on Saturday night. So glad we did! The owner was there, (Ameet) he was very nice and helpful and even helped us figure out what to feed our littles. Great customer service! The food was amazing! My wife and I got the unholy cow baguette and the Tikka Masala Poutine with chicken. OMG! I could not stop eating it! Our older daughters got the same with beef. Our youngest girls got the somasas with fries and loved it. There was a cilantro sauce that came with the samosas, and it was so delicious. My wife said, "I could literally drink that." We will definitely be back. I'm so glad we found this place. If you haven't been there, Go Now! You won't regret it! ”
“ Ameet catered a 5 course dinner for 12 at my home and it was wonderful. The courses were unique delicious and presented beautifully. His pea soup was one of my favorites. He finished with a chai ice cream dish it was so good. Best of all he provided all the dishes, pot, pans, water glasses and flatware. ”
“ This is my second time visiting and it was just as amazing as the first. I have never had chicken this tender and tasty. The mix of flavors and textures in the chicken tiki masala poutine is out of this world. Plus, Ameet, the owner is a delight and very passionate about his food. I work down the street and will definitely be a regular here. ”
