    This restaurant advertises a 15 minute grace period. I had a 10:30pm reservation, walked in a few minutes late and was turned away because they close the kitchen at 10:30. The restaurant was 3/4 full and there were tables that had not ordered yet. I was a solo diner and knew what I was going to order so they could have had my order to the kitchen by 10:35. The host was extremely rude during this conversation. I get that everyone closes their kitchen at some point in the night, but don't send me a confirmation email explaining your grace period if you aren't going to honor it. I wouldn't have driven over 30 miles had I known my deadline for arrival was actually 10:29. Super disappointed.

    Love the food but service today was extremely slow and disappointing. My previous experiences have not been so dauntingly slow. Perhaps it was a holiday week and they were understaffed and didn’t expect the volume they had for a Thursday prior to July 4th. It should never take over 45 minutes to get your dinner. Also, they have no kids menu which is ridiculous since it is a big family oriented restaurant. How hard is it to have pasta or a tandoori cheese pizza, etc. etc.

    We’ve been here several times, and it is excellent every time. The nihari and biryani are our standbys. We just tried the lamb chops and shrimp. Both were delicious. We also love the chole bhature. Chai is a must. Great naan.

    I was extremely disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. The Michelin ratings do not match the food in my opinion. The food tasted stale and not fresh in anyway. The taste of the food and specific overall was also very bad. I haven’t eaten Indian food this bad in years. The service was also pretty subpar as well. Disappointing.

    Went to celebrate a birthday and were not disappointed. Food was outstanding, especially the Shrimp Curry using black tigershrimp. Outstanding crisp shrimp and to die for curry.
