Food tasted good but seemed as though they were having trouble in the kitchen (whether short staffed or another issue) and not communicative about the issue. Brought one main course out but not the remaining items for over 15 mins and only after asking someone did the food arrive another 5 mins later . By then the first dish was cold. They apologized for the delay but nothing else. Would have been nice if there was more communication and an effort to compensate in a small way. Music was at a good level and has a nice variety. Towards the end it started to get louder but not unbearable.

Worst Indian cuisine I’ve had in memory—insipid food, bar food for simplistic palates. “Don’t Tell Aunty???”—believe me, I won’t tell ANYBODY about this joint—family, friends…or enemies…

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.

Thanks for giving our kale chaat the gold star it deserves, Peter—we’re blushing (but still crunchy). You caught us in our fusion mischief! While we love pushing boundaries, we hear you loud and clear: some mashups still need a little extra masala. Feedback like yours helps us dial up the flavor and fine-tune the funk. Next time, we’d love to have you back to try more of our traditional hits—we promise not everything comes with a plot twist.

The food is average. Service is quite slow. We got our drinks after we had finished food.
Don’t Tell AuntySe respondió el 3 de junio de 2025
Oof, sounds like the timing of your meal needed less drama and more dhamaal. We’re so sorry your drinks were fashionably late to the party—that’s not the kind of suspense we aim for. We’ll keep working on our pace so your food and your cocktails vibe together like a perfectly matched chutney duo. Hope we get another chance to show you what we can do, Aunty-style.

The background music could be toned down a bit. It was too loud for my taste .
Don’t Tell AuntySe respondió el 3 de junio de 2025
Thanks for the shoutout, Tony—and for hanging with us through the beats. We’re all about bold flavors and bold playlists, but we totally get that not everyone wants dinner with a side of dance floor. We’re working on better volume balance so you can vibe and hear your dinner date. Appreciate the honesty—just don’t tell the DJ we’re turning it down.

They had a playful menu with standard Indian American fare and some off beat fusion dishes. The okra fries with tamarind chutney were amazing. Lively ambiance, but my group of four could easily carry on conversation over the music and din.

Seth, okra fries and fusion fun? You get us. We’re all about bold flavor and lively energy—with just enough space for conversation and a second round of drinks. Thanks for the love!

Andrea, now that’s the kind of dinner endorsement we love. Whether it's a birthday bash or a cheeky date night, we've got the mood and the masala ready.

"Steven, we’re still recovering from the flavor explosion your review set off in our hearts! Seriously, your words were such a ride—we went from blushing at the chili oil comparison to fist-pumping over your take on the vibe, the food, and the energy we pour into every plate. It’s rare to find someone who not only experiences the full DTA journey but captures it so eloquently—we felt seen, and Aunty’s definitely a little suspicious now. We’re thrilled the flavors danced for you, that the space felt alive, and that our team made you feel right at home while pushing the envelope. Bold, modern Indian food is our love language, and hearing that each bite felt like an adventure means the world to us. Thank you for not just dining with us, but for getting us. Come back soon!
