    Great environment, great food and great company. The owners and amazing and inviting. Took a group of close friends there and we had a great time, enjoying very authentic Indian cuisine along with imported Indian beer and whiskey brewed in North India! A food and cultural feast! Highly recommended!

    Though the service is outstanding, we felt that the prices were on the higher side.

    Had a reservation booked in for a special occasion. When we arrived they were moderately busy, not too crowded. When our party arrived, we were given menus but the server took a very long time to come back and take our order (even though we tried to get their attention). After our orders were taken, the server returned and we were informed that a fair few of their menu items were unavailable, which was quite disappointing since it was only 7:30. After that was sorted, they brought us the wrong items twice and served the main course without the accompanying roti/rice, so we had to sit around and wait for it while the food got cold. The food was good, which sort of made things better but the service was very disappointing. Would recommend the aam panna drink and the Paneer Tikka sizzler.

    It was absolutely amazing. Staff were very helpful and answered all my concerns regarding parking. He actually came out of the restaurant and showed me the parking. It was helpful. So, special thanks to MADHUR , RIDDHI, RAGHAV. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.❤️

    Nice restaurant. They serve some rare dishes that are not elsewhere. Cocktails were better than food.

    No food available until 730. They had clearly booked the venu for a private function. Would have been no issue, but not communicated to us. Were given complimentary stale peanuts for the inconvenience. No kingfisher on tap, had to settle for great northern. Had a couple with a booking, they were surprised as well to be told that seating wasn't available inside. The crew decided to discuss how to handle and communicate this and decided to give the menu to them and papadums. Not sure why this wasn't extended to us, but have a pretty good idea. Would I give them another shot. No chance
