Just walking in the aromas start to hit you and then as the food comes each bite was a treat for the taste buds. The service staff were lovely and attentive. The food was Devine and despite the neighbourhood and the look of the building from the outside. It is absolitely beautiful on the incite. A very modern twist with those classic Indian flavours. And don't worry about the spice. They were able to tone it right down for those that wanted that.
