    We were celebrating a family member’s birthday. The rosemary naan & the award winning butter chicken are stand out dishes. The calamari & rogan josh were very flavorful as well. Service was thoughtful & excellent. We will certainly be back!

    For a 2 time Micheline award winner, I was disappointed. The Lamb Shank was not fall of the bone & it had a taste of being at least 1 day old. Lamb is not the type of meet to be served next day. The Basa had great flavour however again disappointed that the bones were left in. Again for a 2 time winner my expectations were much higher. I hope this was an off day & not the norm. I may try again with caution.

    Food was ok (not amused by rice/naan not coming with the mains), not amazing. I had to wait standing for about 20 mins for my table. The food took a very long time to come. We had to ask for water in the middle of the dinner and they only served one of the two glasses, so we had to ask again. Would not go back.

    Huge change from the past and the food and service is highly elevated. Chef Sudhanshu has amazing talent and has curated some unique dishes. The goat dishes stood apart for flavor and texture. (Galowti kebab and Keema). Way to go Aanch. Will be back soon for sure.
