    Pathetic food. Too much noice. Way too expensive for the quality of food. Must surely avoid.

    It was a really good experience overall!! The service was pleasant and thoughtful, we didn’t feel rushed. I’m always weary about fusion Indian food but they got it right. Everything we ordered was delicious. And we had mentioned on the reservation that it was our anniversary and they surprised us with a dessert with a candle, I was happy they made note of that. Kudos to the restaurant!! We will definitely recommend to all our friends and be back again…
