Everything we had was fantastic, standouts include the salad, the octopus and the chicken biryani. Our server was really helpful with suggestions and upbeat. The room is beautiful, if a little loud but we did not mind, it was a nice busy atmosphere. Delicious cocktails and we enjoyed wines by the glass as well that paired well!

The food was delicious and the service was attentive and welcoming. We were not sure what level of heat to ask for. We chose medium hot and it was too hot for some of us. So now we know to order mild next time. We will definitely be back.
