We were able to sit out on the patio under 2 space heaters with our party of 10 (family from OOT) - it was great to hear each other and enjoy the wonderful food and service! The hummus (mushroom and lamb) and kebabs are amazing!

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly blends incredible flavors and a cozy ambiance, look no further than The G.O.A.T Room. The food was nothing short of spectacular. We started with the masala fries, and they were an explosion of flavor, crispy on the outside and coated with just the right amount of spice. I could've drank the tikka dipping sauce through a straw! We also had veggie samosas, tandoori wings, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. I want to highlight them all but I'll leave it at everything was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold flavors, excellent service, and a cozy yet chic dining spot!
