Second visit and food was excellent. Friendly staff, clean, seating a bit close, but good problems to have if you can fill all those tables. Will be back again!

My dentist recommended this place to me, she promised I would like it, She was right. Everything was most enjoyable. The food, the service and the excellent bottle of wine that we enjoyed with our meal. The noise level made it somewhat difficult to have pleasant conversation, but that would not stop me from recommending this restaurant, nor from going back. I can't wait to have my teeth cleaned again to se what my dentist recommends next.

My husband and I heard good things about this restaurant and we were not disappointed! It was an amazingly welcoming atmosphere with delicious food and tasty margaritas too! The chef has reinterpreted Indian classics with new flavors, including some Mexican and Chinese-infused dishes. The spinach chat and garlic shrimp appetizers were delicious as were our entrees - a chicken dish and the vegetarian paneer lacha. The carrot halvah dessert and churros were incredible!

Excellent menu - a healthy variety for all palates. We sat in a booth where the lights kept flickering and not in the romantic way, rather, I-hope-the-lights-don't-go-out way. There were two kids playing the violin which didn't really add to the ambiance at all. The music was pleasant, just not necessary or needed. I ordered a curry. When asked on a 1-10 scale the heat factor, I said 7. It wasn't spicy at all - never had to refill my water, if you need an indication. So, if you like your food spicy, be clearer than I was. It has a bar, but you can BYOB. The place was over well attended. I will go back and sit in a different section.
