Upscale modern Indian cuisine that stays true to tradition. Price is on the higher end but it’s well worth it — both in terms of food quality, taste, and attentiveness and friendliness of staff — we were taken care of by Mickey and Neha. Definitely worth a visit, and fit for a special occasion.

The food and service were excellent. My only disappointment was that they tried to give us a table downstairs, when I reserved the main dining room. We ended up at a table with our back to the front aisle-heavy traffic area. I made this reservation on 11/16/24, so there was no excuse for this inconvenience. Because the overall dining experience was so good, I will definitely be back !

Good spot for brunch in New Brunswick - service was great: attentive but allowed us to sit and visit without chasing us out. Creative menu. Recommend the smoked salmon starter and the duck (which I got topped on the kale salad) was yummy.
