    It was good Indian food. Not the best, but good. Service was good, but they brought one of the wrong dishes( chicken not veggie)and when brought up they apologized and made the right one for us. They didn’t comp the dish they got wrong, which would have been nice, but certainly unnecessary. Attire is a little on the fancier side for Indian, mostly collared shirts and jackets for men. Recommend you order extra rice. Samosa was quite good.

    I have heard mixed reviews but my experience was excellent. Food was delicious, hot, and presented nicely. My bartender was friendly and attentive. I sat at the bar so I was a bit chilly because of the door but I have no complaints. I can say I will be back.

    What the heck. This place was quite the surprise. It blew us away. The food was surprisingly good. We ordered several different times, and each time the food came out fresh, hot, quickly, and looked like an artist put it together. The jumbo shrimp with cilantro goodness was amazing. Calamari better than it should have been. The service was amazing. The prices? Way too low. Happy hour prices are ridiculous. I mean so ridiculously low. I think maybe they just love people. I’m not sure. I’d make this my go to spot if I lived here.
