Food was excellent! Drinks were top notch! Noise was a bit much and our server spoke very softly. Server was very nice and offered good help, but it was hard to hear her. We will return for the food. Nice to find good Indian food not too far from home.

Excellent across the board. Updated menu & cocktails since my prior visit. The fusion starters are a must try. Lamb shank & chicken biriani are delicious.
