    This was the second time we ate here this week. It was wonderful. The food was great. The service was excellent. Dipak was our server, and he went above and beyond consistently. The first time we went this week, it was with my mother-in-law. She had never been to an Indian restaurant. The owner, Raj, went out of his way to give her a taste of the dishes to make sure she knew what to order. He had us try a few things and made the experience exceptional - we felt like we were in his kitchen. This food is consistently good and we will be back. We love supporting this group before and after the hurricane. Thank you!

    Have been to brunch twice and Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Service so warm and accommodating. Turducken pasta was superb and a fun play on words. Pork chops fabulous and trout well prepared and enormous. We got side of a vegetable gratin that was so smooth and velvety. I will get more pasta next time! Tiramisu yummy.. mocktails were yummy too.

    I believe we've just found our new Thanksgiving "tradition". I can't say enough about the service, food, and ambiance. The experience exceeded our expectations. Lauren and all the support staff made us feel like we were their only guests. And the food! So so delicious. We had meat eaters and vegetarians in our group, and both were equally pleased. Each course just kept getting better. We all walked out completely stuffed (as it should be for Thanksgiving) with leftovers in hand. Thank you, and we'll see you again!

    Definitely visit this amazing eatery! Loved everything we ordered. Highly recommend the tuna lime nachos and the chicken and waffles. Goes great with a bottle of Pinot Grigio! Best meal I’ve hade in a long time. Service was amazing, too. Great location in the heart of town.
