Nothing special about food despite Michelin notation. Put in a 3rd floor room up the stairs by ourselves. Waiter came occasionally, resulting in long waits. Overall, a not enjoyable experience.

The food is outstanding! I have to say it’s the best Indian food I ever had. The butter chicken is absolutely delicious, it’s such a common dish, but they the flavor is amazing!

I went in with very high expectations, but the quality of the food did not meet those expectations. The appetizers were good and the plating is excellent, but the mains did not deliver - they were average. Anyone who hasn’t dined at a lot of Indian restaurants will not pick up on it, so I’m not surprised to see a lot of excellent reviews for this place. Peel away the ambience, plating, price and just look at the food … and it’s a bit lackluster. I hate to compare, but I was hoping this place would be at par with the other high end Indian restaurant we have in the city - the one that starts with A. I’m rating it a four out of 5 for that reason.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. Food was delicious, but service was not ideal - no one checked on us during meal; the bench we sat on was dirty and we had to clean it ourselves; there was a screaming baby the whole time we were there and when we mentioned we wanted to order dessert but noise from baby was disruptive, they apologized but did not offer to move us upstairs; we left and had dessert elsewhere. The protein dishes are tiny portions, barely enough quantity for one person. Order lots of sides or eat before going.
