Love this new Indian bistro! This place has a great buzz and feels wonderfully more New York and chicer than its Curry Hill cousins. The food is delicious and authentic, and the service is excellent. Syed, the manager, checked in with us frequently to be sure we were fully taken care of and enjoying our meal. Yes, we were, yes, we did, and for that, we'll be back again very soon!

A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
