A pursuit for knowledge was the stimulus and continues to be the driving force behind Chef Niven’s career. Ghee means PURE and has a symbolic meaning both spiritually and in the kitchen of an Indian home. The restaurant encompass traditional Indian home cooking, ingredient driven using local artisan purveyors. Chef Niven highlights the experience of dining at Ghee: "I want to my guests to walk into Ghee with the sense of entering my home. I want them to feel at home. I want them to smell the aromas and spices and get more engaged in their meal. One of the things that I always tell my cooks is, ask questions, be inquisitive if you don’t know. I want the same for my guests."

Great food. Amazing flavors and dishes. Reasonably priced. Went for lunch. Only issue was there was no hostess to seat us. We stood around for 5-10 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us. It was a lunch 12pm seating. Maybe they had just opened

Went to dinner with some friends last Friday night that have been wanting to try Ghee for a long time. We chose to do the Tasting Menu for the table as it was a great opportunity to try a little bit of everything. Things started off great, we got all the starters and everything was delicious… until one of my friends, bit into a tandoori peri peri chicken wing that was completely raw on the inside. He unfortunately had already swallowed a piece of this uncooked chicken before he looked down to realize what had happened. When the waitress was notified that the chicken wings were raw she said “oh, do you want me to take them and bring you new ones?” — I think we were all too stunned to speak at that point because there was no apology or concern for their customer that just ate raw chicken. The waitress did not offer to bring him a new plate or utensils either. When the new plate of chicken wings came out, which I’m fairly certain was the same exact plate that they had taken a few minutes prior she said “you let me know if these are good for you”. Those wings were not touched again as we were all scared to do so after the treatment we were given for asking the staff to cook the chicken. At no point were we offered the common decency of an apology by absolutely anyone on the staff. To be treated with such carelessness shows a complete lack of professionalism and hospitality. It’s insane to see such a basic standard of food safety being overlooked. Needless to say we will not be returning to this establishment any time soon and will stop recommending it to others.

Outdoor seating on a beautiful evening. Great, attentive service delivered with a smile. Delicious food as always. And the birthday candle on the dessert was a thoughtful touch.

Wir waren zum Abendessen im Ghee, schönes Ambiente, tolle Speisekarte, hervorragender Service, leider konnte das Testingmenü für 65 Dollar pro Person nicht überzeugen, die Vorspeise bestand aus 3 kleinen Schälchen, 1x Green Papaya Salad, 1x Burrata Chaat und 1x Backyard Pakira, nicht sondern für 2 Personen. Die Hauptgänge waren in sehr sehr kleinen Schalen 1x Chicken Tikka Masala ( 2 Gabeln Hühnerfleisch), 1x Tumeric Marinated Fish Curry ( 2 Gabeln Fisch ), kleines Körbchen Seed Naan, 1 x Dal Makhani, 1x Reis und 1 x Gemüse anstelle Kersla Lamb Currry, wieder alles für 2 Personen, Portionen siehe Bild , absolut lächerlich!!!!, das Dessert war ok. Preislich komplett daneben für das gebotene Essen welches auch noch sehr wenig mit indischem Essen zu tun hatte, ein Enttäuschung.
