    The food was good and the physical space is very impressive. But the service was kinda spotty and the pacing from the kitchen was horrible. For the prices charged I have to say that the restaurant falls short of its aim.

    The food was fine but not the revelation I was expecting, considering the prices. Service was patchy.

    Service was slow. The table next to us had a young child on a laptop with a very loud video. The restaurant did nothing to control the environment. We spent $360 for great food, ok service, and a terrible environment.

    The food and presentation of food is outstanding. The chai is awesome and close to authentic. The chicken korma dish was rich of flavor, and presented in a bird's nest decor. The fig naan is more like a dessert. The service was excellent and the staff was attentive. The pomegranate raita and the beetroot cutlet appetizer were outstanding. We will definitely be going back. Outstanding all around.

    Every time we die here, we love it more and more. The flavors are wonderful. The staff, friendly and knowledgeable. It is definitely on the price of your side, but worth the splurge.
