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

Ambiance and staff terrific! We are vegan and were quite disappointed in the lack of options offered. We were at this establishment before and it seems they have really cut back on the menu in general. Even our non vegan friends were disappointed in the menu offerings. So sad .. this place was once a great place for us.

The Cornish hen tandoori was the star. The lamb shank was not as flavorful as it could be. The naan was transcendental.
