    This was our first time visiting this restaurant! We have went to many restaurants in Edison, and this is definitely one of the best! The spice levels were well defined, the food was delicious, the portions were nice, and the service, especially from Omar, was spectacular!! Also, the atmosphere is so beautiful with a fusion of Indian and Western art, and the robot food servers were such an awesome and smart addition! Definitely recommend this spot!!!

    This was my second time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is always A1 but this time they decorated for Christmas and it was so nice. I will say this is a very lively loud restaurant so if you’re looking for something quiet, this might not be the place for you. The service is always great & the food and drinks are also very delicious.
