    I’m in Charleston for a night and decided to try this restaurant. Everything was a hit! We ordered the tasting menu and our group enjoyed every dish. If you’re looking for authentic Pakistani/Indian food you definitely need to try this place. The owner and his staff were super friendly, very cool local restaurant/bar. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Charleston.

    Enjoyed our shared tapas dishes and experienced exceptional service. Prices are steep at this restaurant located within the Sawgrass Hotel in Wild Dunes, but everything at Wild Dunes is pricey, so this was not a surprise. I’d love to see more variety in the menu, but overall, a very nice meal.
