They should be ashamed to provide such low quality food while charging premium prices. Food was honestly so bad I had to go home to remake it. I ordered two curries, one tasted like half a bag of frozen vegetables dumped into a pre made sauce and the other had 4 dry chicken chunks in the same pre made sauce. I am not sure how this restaurant got so many good reviews but I have been to many better indian restaurants in the area for a fraction of the cost. Just terrible, ruined my week.

Take-out here is always good, but dining in is a real treat! Food and cocktails are top notch but the service is the real standout- very fast and courteous. I recommend the murgh shahi khorma, sabji platter, and onion kulcha.

Utsav’s cuisine is consistently high quality, flavorfully spiced to order, and reasonably priced. Service is prompt, accomodating and engaging.
I went here with my girlfriend recently. This is one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. The food was immaculate, and the service was friendly, and very attentive.

After moving from Boston to Vernon, we were looking for a good Indian restaurant comparable to the level we found in the city. We quickly discovered that Utsav was not only comparable, but far exceeded any Indian restaurant we had ever dined at. This included many places across America and Europe. The food is simply exceptional as well as the service. Joe the owner pays attention to every need and detail of the customer and has white cloth service that I have only had at very high end restaurants. I cannot say enough about the food and staff. If you find yourself in the area Utsav is an absolute must try. You will not regret it, and there is certainly no other option for this level of culinary excellence and service in Connecticut. Enjoy!Dietary restrictions: My wife is celiac and never had any issues.Kid-friendliness: Excellent with families and children.

We ate a wonderful meal at Utsav tonight. The food was delicious. The service was great- they made us feel like they were truly glad to see us. I am looking forward to my leftovers for lunch tomorrow. We will be returning soon.

Joe was the owner of the restaurant. He was kind and courteous and it was honestly the best Indian food I have had my entire life. He works hard, attends to customers and make sure that the food is top quality. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants Indian food.

Phenomenal food only surpassed by the stellar service. We regret we have taken so long to visit - going to the top of our restaurants to frequent. Only a few miles from I-84 exit - food so good that it’s worth your while if traveling through to stop for a meal.
