Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kiran Verma

From the OpenTable editors: At her namesake restaurant, 2023 James Beard semifinalist Kiran Verma serves up inventive dishes that pair traditional Indian flavors and techniques with local ingredients. The results are wholly unique: tandoori Texas quail with fig chutney or goat cheese and beet salad with masala cashews, for example. Weekends are an especially fun time to dine, when afternoon tea service stars the restaurant's signature chai blend.

When the price was already collected for the evening special which was 145 per person so over all 320 something, what was the reason for 20% gratuity added in the over all bill for a table of 2? It was a rip off. And half the time the servers kept on saying the food got ran out and will give me something else, it was like I went on valentine with the servers. Literally the value for money and the food offered had no match, Total waste. From no angle it was fine dine, it was like a normal restaurant I got the feeling. The lobster was over cooked and rubbery, they made us wait for nearly an hr when we had our time prebooked near the bar, and even that was not complimentary, I would have had better experience at musafir, this place was fine some 10 years ago but not now.

They called me a few days before and moved the reservation 30 minutes later. Whenever we arrived, we had to wait an extra 50 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. The food was tasty and our waitress was very kind! I’d blame it on being Valentine’s Day. However, the menu was fixed and they even ran out of the first course. Paying $200 per person, I feel like this should not have been the experience. I would consider giving them another chance in the future and hopefully it will go a little more smoothly.

Service was poor and rushed you to order. They cleared plates and brought the next course before we were done with the current course. The waiter told us we had one minute to decide on our meal and drink orders. The lobster was very good, but the rest of the food was mediocre and poorly plated.

We had Valentines dinner and the food was delicious. The waiting staff was great. We love the butter chicken and three soups. Plus the bread with cheese to add your butter chicken to it was delicious. I will add this restaurant to our favorite restaurant list.
