    The overall experience was excellent. We went for Valentine’s dinner and ordered the prix fixe menu. The presentation, service and flavor for the first couple of courses was wonderful. However the main course of chicken makhani and kale and burrata pesto didn’t quite appeal to our palette. It seemed flat and not as flavorful as the other dishes served previously. Perhaps rethink this combination going forward. We will definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion!

    The food was delicious and the service was attentive and welcoming. We were not sure what level of heat to ask for. We chose medium hot and it was too hot for some of us. So now we know to order mild next time. We will definitely be back.

    This was a special occasion. My sister loves Ajanta, is from out of town and hadn’t visited in a while. We were welcomed graciously, given a table by the window and then served a wonderful meal. Truly memorable. Well done Ajanta.
