   There was no music and it was awkwardly quiet so you can hear other peoples conversations. Highly recommend they play some music

   Left after 30 minutes with no table service, nor drinks menus. Waste of time.

   What a pretty, comfortable restaurant. However, every stage in the process was a problem. Took over 10 minutes to acknowledge we were there (on time for a reservation), then another 10 to seat us. No bartender, so they couldn’t sell their creative cocktails. Took much longer to get our order in and then waited and waited. Appetizer (veggie samosas) were excellent. Only one main dish came out. We shared it and then finally called it a night after being there for an hour and a half. So they lost lots of $ in total bull. Unfortunately, they lack organization. They would benefit greatly from having assigned roles and sticking to them. Staff ran around trying to get things done, but extremely ineffectively. Good tasting food, too. Sad they can’t get it together. Staff is friendly and kind, just no one seemed to be In charge to keep things organized. Hope they can get it together.

   We went on Valentines evening and had reservations. Waited 15 minutes to get seated. Once seated, we waited 20 minutes and nobody brought water or anything. Thus, we got up and left. Terrible experience! I also booked the reservation using a $10 reward which I think I lost now...I’m very frustrated.

   Worst experience ever! My husband and I had a reservation for Valentines Day. We were sat promptly and our order was taken. It took very little time to get our drinks but then the trouble started. While sitting at our table eating the app, a server began to bring all the extra chairs and high chairs over and pushed them up against my side of the table and my chair.At one point I moved them back near the stairway and she came back and pushed them within an inch of our table. Within a couple of minutes, the same server placed a bucket with a trash bag and a big bussing pans with dirty dishes on the floor next to us. At first I thought they were moving stuff around and we thought it would be a very quick, gross, but temporary staging. I was wrong! Instead of picking the items up and taking them downstairs, she brought a big cart over with LOTS of dirty dishes and proceeded to start scraping the food into the bucket next to our table and placing the dishes into the pans. At this point my husband and I could not believe this was actually taking place. I then told her that this was unacceptable to be doing next to people dining and made her seat us at a new table. After 45 minutes, no one had checked on us, brought us refills, new silverware, napkins or our dinner. We then complained to a server about not getting our food and she went and told someone. 20 minutes later someone came upstairs and asked us for our order again. We placed the order again, no refills, silverware or napkins. 20 mins later still no food. We had now been there for 90 minutes. We got up to leave and as we head downstairs, the waiter was at the bar with our food talking to servers. He saw us and grabbed the tray and started up. We told him we were not paying for the dinner. He didn’t bring us silverware or napkins. We finally got silverware a few minutes later. No one ever came back. Many people were leaving due to poor service. We weren’t the only ones! Never go here!

   Went for a Valentine's date. The decorations were really pretty. Their food is excellent, but their service/front of house management is awful. I saw two tables get up and walk out when we were there because they sat for 15 - 20 minutes without any service. This is the third time I've eaten in there and it has been the same each time. I'll stick to ordering for delivery/pick up and not try to dine in again. We waited more than 10 minutes for our server, then another 15 minutes for drinks after we ordered. The server was distracted and not particularly friendly. He did not know the menu and could not answer our questions very well. We ordered from the special Valentine's fixed menu. The menu featured a sparkling rose, but the wine they brought was not sparkling. Then they ran out of rose altogether (before 7pm). The entrees took over an hour to get to our table (6pm reservation, received entrees at 7:30pm). We ran out of time and skipped the dessert because we had a show to get to by 8pm. They didn't offer a discount even though the dessert came with the price of the meals we ordered from the fixed menu.

    Really trendy curry house. It has a great atmosphere and the food was delicious! If you’re a white person and going to order chicken tikka masala, then you won’t be disappointed!
