It's so easy to find a parking spot and once you enter the restaurant, it's like stepping into a different world. Wonderful ambiance, a unique menu and excellent food. The service is attentive without being intrusive. We started with a new item on the menu, Calamari and French Bean. It leans into more Southeast Asian flavors and was a perfect starter. It was a cold and drizzly night, so we ordered the Dum Biryani with lamb as our main course. The meat was falling off the bone. The rice, lamb and yogurt sauce all melded together perfectly. Thank you for another wonderful meal.

These revelatory moment also happened to us last time with the nachos. The tandoori sea bass is as good as it gets and always consistent, and the butter chicken pot pie is a classic. As someone who is ok but not great with heat, the food always strikes a balance with heat and flavor.

We enjoyed the lamb shank curry, chicken pot pie, and beef short ribs. All were delicious. The yogurt mango passionfruit drink is outstanding. We welcome the fact that it was not crowded, even on a Saturday night. The service was exceptionally good.

The chicken dumplings were divine, as well as the grilled sea bass and spinach paneer. Portions are not huge but very tasty. The bar is beautiful and the place had a good energy. We enjoyed the evening there and will definitely be back! The place was packed on a Saturday night, but luckily we had a reservation. (Note: be on time for your reservation).
