Average food, not outstanding. Tag line said that redefining Indian Food. But in reality, it was just an average run of the mill Dhaba food. Overpriced for the quality and quantity.

I informed the front desk of the reso when we came in and he acknowledged it. The table they chose for us had chairs only so we asked for a booth - the waiter told us those were reserved and didn’t allow us to sit there. Then half hour after we sat down, the restaurant called me to see if I was going to make the reso - I had to remind him that we were already seated inside the restaurant and that I had told him about the reservations when we came in. He was clearly not paying attention at all. After the meal was almost over, my husband had to remind them that we were celebrating a birthday. The waiter said we could purchase a dessert if we wanted. Once again, they clearly were not paying attention and/or the least bit interested in accommodating customers who went out of their way to make reservations. I should mention that the restaurant was very empty on a Saturday at 6pm so not sure what they preoccupied with. On the plus side, the chef made great food so we’ll give em that.

Food was really good. Every single meal was highly appreciated by all 3 of us. The restaurant is very nice with indian music playing enough to appreciate but not too much to not disturb conversations at the table. Service was great and price reasonable. Will come back!

Beautiful venue but service lousy. Waiters are rude and unaccommodating. They have poor wine selection and red wine by glass tasted like turning to vinegar. Takes them 20 minutes to make a mixed drink. They bring food out in stages rather than all at once. Food was poor quality. Garlic nan bread was best thing on the menu. First time we went food was decent but service bad and slow. Second time all was bad. We wont be back.
