    Best experience ever! The pani puri was the perfect bite and smoked Negroni presentation so much fun! Biryani and butter chicken were finger licking good, and the lamb karahi just hit the spot- soooo good!! Beautiful ambiance and friendly service- definitely coming back!

    Service and ambience were great. The flavoring of the food was lacking in the 5 different items we ordered. Most of it was chicken based with one veg entree. If I come back, I will give the beef and lamb entrees a try.

    I rarely write reviews but felt I needed to. Full disclosure, I’ve only been to this place once and it was for their Valentine’s dinner, five course prefix dinner. First of all, they sat us 25 mins after our reservation. Place was packed and honestly, I don’t think they know what they were doing. However, the staff was friendly. Once seated, tried to order a bottle of wine but they were sold out of all their bottles of wine except their most expensive bottle, which was not wine but a sweet rose. We went ahead and ordered it, wasnt good, definitely a super inflated price. I asked for an ice bucket to keep the rose cold but they didnt have one. First course was basically naan with masala for dipping. Naan was good but weak as a first course item. Second course was one samosa to share between two people. Came out cold, nothing notable about it. Third course was chicken pieces, basically tasted like they were in bbq sauce. Tasted just ok. Oh yeah, and they brought our second and third courses at the same time. For main courses, I got the Shrimp curry and GF got the Butter Chicken. My shrimp curry was tasty but only had three shrimp. My GF chicken however was nasty. Never had chicken with that texture. Super soft and mushy, it was gross. Dessert was one piece of chocolate cake to share, we didn’t eat it. At this point we just wanted to leave. All this for $340 lol. Not sure what their regular menu is like but Valentine’s dinner was a complete fail. I won’t be going back to find out.

    Overpriced, bad service, food wasn’t that special. Just overpriced marketing for a Valentine’s Day dinner.

    We opted for the prix fixe Valentine's menu, which was priced at $80 per person for a five-course meal. For the second course, the samosa chaat, they served only one samosa, splitting it in half for both diners instead of providing one per person. Similarly, for the final course, a chocolate cake, they brought a single portion as a shared plate instead of serving individual slices to each guest who had paid for the full menu. While the food quality was decent, the portion sizes felt inadequate given the price.

    The service and the food were AMAZING. Cannot recommend highly enough. Go now. The butter chicken and the Sloppy “Joe” are to die for.

    Food was excellent as expected . I have been at this place couple of times since it opened. The ambiance used be very nice. But it was very crowded and noisy last evening.
