The service could have been much better. The food too needed some work. Had to send a dish back due to a server not getting the order right. It was my wife’s birthday but I really wish they would have made some effort and had a smile on their face when serving us.

Hands down the best Indian food in all of Texas!!! It’s a modern restaurant with a great ambiance. The goat was so tender and the naan were fresh and soft. They’re a family owned restaurant and we got lucky and met the owners who were absolutely delightful people. Food tastes just like home and you can tell, it was made with fresh and high quality ingredients. The cocktails were on another level - never had anything like them. Would give them more stars if possible, just loved that they’re locally and family owned.

Strange experience at this place, the hostess informed me that the restaurant policy dictates they have a 90-minute max limit per table, since it’s a small restaurant and they want to accommodate everyone who has a reservation or walk ins. It’s just bad customer experience overall. The food was decent, the grilled salmon did come with a long strand of hair :(, which they graciously changed but charged me nevertheless. Not going back to the legacy plano location.

Overpriced for the quality and quantity of the food. Despite not being too busy, the customer service was also not that great.
