    Everything on the menu sounded so good. I got the short rib dish which was excellent. Drinks were good and creative. Not crowded at all for a Tuesday night. Need to go back and try more dishes.

    We went for a birthday celebration and from the minute we arrived until we left, we were taken care of. The food and drinks were delicious and they did a wonderful job of making the birthday girl feel special with a very nice birthday dessert presentation. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a quaint spot with interesting food and a great vibe. We will drive across town to eat here again!

    What a unique concept! Fusion of Indian with familiar Tex-Mex food! The food is great, with Indian flavor profiles, but not a lot of heat. We loved the pepper salad with toasted paneer, deviled eggs, and particularly the naanchos. The chocolate lava cake (which I would have called a chocolate mousse cake) was the perfect ending for our meal. The cocktail list offers a lot of interesting options. We went for Restaurant Week. Thanks to CNI for supporting this important cause.

    Incredible mix of flavors. The fries are to die for. It’s a little pricey but worth it. Excellent mix of Indian-inspired Tex-Mex dishes. Food flavors were outstanding. We took lots of leftovers home. Draft beer is nice and cheap ($4) and cold. We loved it. We went mid week and it was nearly empty. Definitely going again.

    Creative cocktails, knowledgeable servers and bar tenders, and delicious eats. We started with the naan quesadilla. Our main entrees were lamb vindaloo, butter chicken tikka masala, and the chicken fried chicken with the masala sauce instead of gravy. Portions were good size and the 3 of us shared with leftovers. Yummy 🤤
