                            Lacking basic training it seemed, as servers could not explain to us how the menu works nor provide guidance as to which section of the menu to order from. This gave a terrible impression from the start. Overpriced 'large plates' (we had the butter chicken and the seafood boullabaisse), especially considering the poor quality of the chicken. Better value and quality of similar cuisine in many other lower end places in Dubai.

                            We went there for our anniversary dinner. It was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, presentation was on point and the service was impeccable. Our server explained to us about the dishes and catered graciously. Sadly cannot recall his name.

                            Good restaurant and excellent service. Not sure if it deserves the Michelin Bib but overall my wife and I had a good experience.

                            Good Indian restaurant but I don’t think it’s worth the Michelin Bib. The food was great and the quality was at a high level. In addition, the service was precise and helpful. Nevertheless, I’ve been to a few Indian restaurants in Dubai and the food was not as special nor interesting as the others. The only dish that stood out was the smoked Jack fruit Taco.
