Semma in the West Village has a Michelin star and plenty of hype, but personally, I didn’t think it fully lived up to it. The flavors are bold, and the dishes feel thoughtfully prepared, but for the price and the buzz, I was expecting more. That said, I’m always excited to see more South Asian cuisine, especially regional South Indian food, getting the recognition it deserves. Standouts for me were the gunpowder dosa and the nalli elumbu (lobster tail), which was rich and well-spiced. While it wasn’t my favorite meal in the city, it’s great to see a place like this getting the spotlight....More

Pros:
🖤Exceptional Food: The Gunpowder Dosa was a true highlight—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly executed. The Lobster Tail was equally impressive, cooked beautifully with a perfect balance of flavors.
🖤Ambiance: Seema creates a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere, blending modern design with subtle Indian touches. It’s a great spot for both casual and more special occasions.
🖤Michelin-Worthy Quality: Having dined at other Michelin-starred establishments, Seema certainly holds its own. The dishes are refined, creative, and showcase a high level of culinary skill.
Cons:
❤️Oxtail Dish: While the oxtail is a popular choice, it was quite fatty, which made it less enjoyable for me. The texture and richness didn’t quite suit my palate.
❤️Noise Level: The atmosphere can get a bit noisy, particularly during peak hours, which might detract from the overall experience for those seeking a quieter, more intimate setting....More
