    Service was excellent, our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable and gave good advice on the dishes. Food was good, but some dishes needed more flavor. We enjoyed the dosa and dahi balla, other dishes like the jackfruit and dal we thought were average. Restaurant is on the noisier side, and some tables were too close together, making it seem congested a bit, almost as if the table next to us was actually at our table. Not sure I’d go back, but it was worth the one time visit.

    I had been wanting to check this bar out for a few years. I had high expectations and my expectations were greatly exceeded. Amazing spot. Great cocktails. Attentive bartender. And what I did not expect was absolutely amazing food as well. Come for the cocktails. Or the food. Or both. Excellent spot for a fun evening.
