   Extremely disappointing experience on Valentines day. Probably because they couldnt handle the crowd. Live music is appreciated but it was very loud (however, it was enjoyed by many). Extremely overpriced food. Ambience and decor was great. Ordered chicken tikka - rubbery and not very flavorful. Naan was good. Paneer lababdar was average.

   Amazing date night. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, food was fantastic to the point my wife woke up craving the leftovers we brought home. We look forward to our next dinner there.

   What a beautiful restaurant and the food was the best! We were there at 5:30 last Saturday with very few diners which worked in our favor as we had a three year old. The server was very welcoming to our active son. We hope to visit again soon!

   Average food, not outstanding. Tag line said that redefining Indian Food. But in reality, it was just an average run of the mill Dhaba food. Overpriced for the quality and quantity.
