    What a great dining experience! From the food to the staff to the outdoor seating, everything was awesome. We felt very welcomed by the staff and everyone was so friendly. The outdoor seating is very comfortable and atmospheric. A little tucked away jungle. Very nice. Dog friendly too! The lunch menu shouldn’t be missed. What a great value. All the protein options — way more than other Indian lunches. Definitely booking again b

    The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Although it's hard to choose a favorite, the sorbet flight at the end of the meal was so elegant. Our server was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job of answering questions. I can't wait to try more of the menu. This meal was truly memorable. Thank you to the outstanding team at Marian.
