    The Kale Chaat was excellent and original. The Butter Chicken, and Garlic Naan were very good. The two "fusion" items we tried sounded better on paper than what we were served - the Kothu Bolognese was overly dense due to the use of shredded bread instead of noodles, and the flavors weren't very distinct. The Rasam Ramen seemed more like spaghetti in a spicy tomato soup base. It was OK at best. Not reminiscent of Ramen at all. I think it's great that they're trying to mix things up, but the recipes aren't all there yet. That said, the Kale Chaat was great, and I wouldn't mind trying some of the other more traditional Indian dishes.

    Food was excellent, the pork sliders especially so. And our server was great: when I ordered a wine I had never tried before, he brought me a small glass first just to make sure I liked it. This was a holiday weekend lunch, and the restaurant was very quiet, but I suspect it can get noisy when busy. We will definitely go back.
