“ I was a little nervous walking in with an 18month old....it just looked so upscale.. was the waitstaff absolutely remarkable with her...yes, yes they were! I had no idea what I was ordering and they were patient enough to explain the different styles of food and gave a few personal recommendations. We enjoyed our visit and will be back ”
“ This place is such a delightful place! Our favorite dish was the 65 Chicken dish, but all of the food was exceptional. Nikhil was our kind and helpful server. We would definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant. ”
“ To begin, this restaurant is set up so beautifully. You come in the door, and there is already water at the tables in bottle. The restaurant is very clean and very well lit. For an appetizer, we ordered the veggie samosa. It was very good! The filling was warm and well spiced (without being spicy) and the outside was crisp and airy. It came with a mint sauce. As neither myself nor my husband had tried goat before, we ordered the goat Korma and the goat curry. The meals came out in a timely fashion, and they were very tasty. The rice was perfectly cooked and the curries were perfectly flavorful, although the korma was more mild than I thought it would be. The buttered naan was also great. Service was impeccable. We will be returning! ”
“ Excellent Indian Restaurant, it was recommended by numerous clients of mine, so I had to try it. Quiet atmosphere, clean and very good food. I love the Indian bread, make sure to try some with your meal. Elegant dishes used to serve the food, in a perfect setting. I had the opportunity to meet all the staff and each one is awesome in their own ways, friendly, humble and knowledgeable in all aspects. ”
“ This was the first time my wife and I had experienced traditional Indian food. The spices and flavor are so wonderful. Not advertised is their lunch buffet on Sunday. We're going to try it out to better get to taste all the different cuisines. The service was great and was not at all busy. A must spot to try out. ”
“ I’m going to be so honest with you, we were here Tuesday this week and we just had to come back (four days later, lol). I love garlic and the garlic naan does not disappoint; chunks of garlic and the perfect balance of soft and crisp. The staff is very attentive and friendly. On their vegetarian menu I got their Shahi Kofta Curry, it’s buttery and spicy a tiny bit sweet. My husband got the butter chicken and the second time got the Tikka Masala, he was very pleased with the spice of both and the portions are generous for all their dishes. You’ll find us here at least once a week moving forward, the table by the door is ours!! Ten stars. Chef’s kiss. Mic drop. ”
