    We called to let them know we were a few mi utes late and they told us that the kitchen was already closed. If they can’t serve they shouldn’t let us reserve at that schedule!

    The hostess is confused when trying to seat people even when the bookings are in place. Good is overhyped. Music is too loud.

    Our server Jaz was well-informed on the menu and gave us excellent service. The food is tasty and unusual and well-spiced. Our only "reservation" was the noise level. We were able to arrange to sit catty-cornered. Had we had a table's length between us we could have spent the night shouting at each other.

    My friend and I came for restaurant week. It was my first time at the restaurant and I absolutely loved it! I ordered the sweet potato chat, ghee roasted lamb with saffron rice, and had the mango chili sorbet for dessert. The portions were fantastic and the service was top notch! I loved the cocktails that were named after the Bollywood movies - a really personal touch!

    Strong smell of Indian food from the kitchen goes straight into the dining area where we were asked to be seated . We switched to the bar area which was nicer.Quality of food has declined over years for the price and quantity . Overall not the best value.

    Despite having a reservation, we were offered a table behind the main room, which was awful. We had to wait for a better table. The music was so loud, it was hard to talk. They had someone singing live. Unexpected. Besides that had a private party. I didn’t want to be a part of that. The food was good, slightly overpriced for what it’s worth, but good. At $40 a plate I expected a better service and placement with my reservation. Nobody asked me half way how the food was. Waited for an extra sauce for a while. I’ve never seen such a small amount of sauce given with food. I’d go again just for tikka masala. Or maybe order to take out. That’s a better option.

    The inventive Indian cuisine, the ambiance and service make this a memorable experience! We did the tasting menu which was a fantastic meal. The cauliflower 65, the swordfish tikka, the paneer pinwheel, stuffed potato and butter chicken were all delicious. We devoured the pistachio saffron ice cream. The cocktails were unique & divine especially the gimlet. We had excellent service - Jaswanth was knowledgeable about the menu, so friendly and ensured we were satisfied- he was fabulous!!!!!

    Terrible experience. Food sucks. They boil chicken separately and when you order a dish with chicken you basically get boiled chicken mixed in sauce rather than a properly simmered dish. Cheap restaurants do this. The shole place stinks and you stink as well. We had to shower when we got back home in order to get rid of the smell. The waiters are terrible, you have to drag them to your table to get their attention. They all act like they have been hypnotized and there is something else in their mind that has nothing to do with your table. We received our appetizers and I had to ask the guy for utensils so that we can eat our food.

    Made us wait for a table even after the reservation for over 20 minutes. Had to remind the hosts twice that we are still here - it seemed like they forgot about us even after asking us to wait? And then after the second reminder we were shown to a not so nice table on the curb, at which point we declined and walked out.

    As an Indian person my standards are a little different. Their food was good but the creativity was really where I was impressed. I’m that kind of person. If you’re here for the food I wanna say it was a little above average. Their naan was great and pinwheel paneer. I think the $55 dinner package was worth it for an app, entree and dessert. Their watermelon marg is the perfect insta opportunity cuz they make a little mist bubble to pop. I enjoyed dinner here a lot more than brunch. Brunch was loud and I thought the food was not nearly as good as dinner. But brunch has a lot of people and an onstage singer and people dance if that’s what you’re into. Dinner ambience is unmatched. Perfect for dates.

    Food was great. Drinks were good. Service at the reception desk was poor to say the least. Table was booked for 8 pm and we were not seated until past 9 pm. On the table, waiter was polite and accommodating. Kudos to him for a good job! However he had been instructed to ask us to finish our meal about 30 minutes after we were seated… ridiculous! Do not overbook your customers to this point!

    Since the weather was nice in September, we opted to sit outside. We chose the covered outside seating … would have been nice if the side panels were open … no real ambiance. BTW, the inside of the restaurant is beautiful and smelled so yummy! The service was very good … and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.
