    Went there for the first time on a Friday night with my spouse. Luckily reserving on Open Table saved us waiting time. However, the seating we were offered was not good. It was a 2-person table crammed between 2 4-person tables. My chair had some food crumbs on it. No one came to serve us till about 15min since we were seated. Water was offered, no coasters. Menus were already on the table and so we narrowed down our options. Some random person showed up with a order-taking-handheld. If not for the hand-held we would have been worried with his look and demeanor. :-) We placed the order for a bread basket, kofta and lamb curry, with a pomegranate and lychee drinks. Lychee drink was not great. It tasted like a mix of lightly sweet buttermilk with some random mix of other things. My partner said the pomegranate drink was nice. Food tasted good and that was the highlight. Seating, service need lot of improvement. Prices were in-line with the location. I reluctantly paid them the 18% gratuity and came out thinking I'll never go there again, atleast not with as a party of two.

    First off, it was Valentines Day, I know it will be busy. But I was hungry and excited for a good dinner. The server didn’t tell us his name, and they were offering a Valentine’s Day menu $120 for two. After 20 minutes we chose what we wanted when someone finally came by. then after 40 minutes we got our drink and an app. It was over an hour and a half before we received our entrees. The food was pretty good, no complaints there. Desserts were fine also but tough to get past the service.

    Date night for valentines night and it was packed, every table was accounted for. Good food n hot and drinks are good too. Service is a little slower due to busyness.

    A very nice location for good drink and very good Indian food. It was quiet when we arrived but got busier while we ate. Appetizers and main courses were all very good and serv ice was polite and efficient.

    As always, the food was fantastic. Our party enjoyed every single morsel. Been there about a half-dozen times and never have we been disappointed.
