Wonderful experience. Every time. From the front of house manager, to our great server, and the kind gentleman who often busses our table, Mott St is an absolute gem. And that’s just the service. The praise I have for the food would take more space than this text box allows. Excellent.

We loved the food and the smaller bar selection of wines made it an easy choice. We enjoyed the Chicken 65, Sambar and chicken tikka masala with some garlic naan. The only issue we had was one large group with a drunk person not able to control their voice and kids with electronic devices with the sound on. If that group wasn’t there, everything would’ve been great, so it was an anomaly. We will be back.
