    Everything was good. It was very busy and the service was slow for that reason, but the food and cocktails made up for that.

    This is the third time I’ve eaten here and it’s memorable every time. I love that everything gluten free is marked on the menu. I had the onion pakora and the shrimp malai kebab. Both were packed with flavor. I took leftovers with me and ate them less than 2 hours later. Highly recommend this establishment!

    Fresh, vibrant and delectably delicious dishes. We had the original innovative Kale Chaat - was awesome! As were the more classic dishes. Fresh tandoori naans to compliment - yes!
