Loved the food combination. Sat at the counter and the team was very chill and attentive to the details. The flavors and spices (the spices!) stood out from each small plate. Doubled down on the tacos and margaritas because you only get so many opportunities to catch lighting in a bottle. Dope experience overall.

The wait staff very helpful w menu items. The samosas are a pass, dry and lacked flavor. The lamb masala and chicken vindaloo were very good w the right amount of heat for us. The coconut creme brûlée was delicious. The restaurant is noisy but we were in a side booth and had no trouble w conversation.

Everything was full-flavored without being too spicy. Creative and beautiful plating, and all the flavors worked really well together. Generous portions and thoughtful service! If we didn't live a few hours away we'd be back weekly! Easy to find free parking nearby.

Another excellent experience. The food delicious and service was top notch. Our server, Kennedy, made some excellent menu suggestions and kept in mind that we had a 4 year old with us ( baby spice level). We ended the meal with some Mango ice cream that topped off the evening. We will be back.
