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!

Tiya is an absolutely beautiful experience for the taste, the eyes and the smell. The way the chefs have cared about every single dish and brought out such rich flavors is fantastic. We had the vegetarian tasting menu, it was a great mix of traditional Indian flavors combined with infusion of other tastes; our family of 4 really enjoyed it. The chaat, the asparagus and the payasam dessert were top notch. The staff and ambience were great too.
