    Service was great. Food was delicious and fresh, large portions. One in our party had a shellfish allergy and they were great about communicating options for them/avoiding certain recipes. 10/10 would recommend!

    Upscale Indian cuisine. The curry sampler was amazing and so was my salmon. Next time I’m in Nashville I’ll go back.

    This place is one of our favorites for business meetings. Love the food. They were a little short staffed tonight. Had one food mix-up but this is not the norm. The server gave us a complimentary dessert.
