    Great food and a lovely ambiance however the staff was green and things took longer than expected. Service was bright and helpful but again green but thankfully we were not in a rush so we were able to enjoy our meal and a free birthday treat as well. We'll be back!

    Really unique experience for Indian food. Every dish is different and delicious. I wish they had more options on their menu, but it's truly unique - from cocktails to dessert, it's fantastic!

    I was expecting something out of the ordinary due how it was marketed on the web-site, but it was just normal Indian food with normal presentation. Literally, nothing special. The dish was way too spicy for my husband. I love spicy, so was okay for me. The food was good. The drinks / cocktails sucked! Don’t get cocktails. They charge you a good amount of money for a starter, which consists of a couple of crackers (one was very bitter) and a couple of dips. Dips were good. In my opinion, that should have been free or very cheap at best. This was the equivalent of chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant or bread and butter at other restaurant, which you normally get for free, especially if the main dish is expensive. The main dish (we got the butter chicken), they told us it’s large to share. It was not that large at all. It’s a 1 person dish. Wish I ordered two. It was good, but they didn’t ask us about the spice level we prefer. The Naan and the rice, you have to order separately. They don’t come with the dish. The rice bowl was very small and they only give you one (1) Naan bread cut in 2 pieces. That’s it! We paid $100 for both of us and left hungry. Good to try, but I’ve had better Indian food for a LOT less. My husband is British and he knows Indian food more then me. He was quite disappointed. I do want to point out that the service was great. The waitress was amazing. It’s also a great location.

    The small plates were excellent. I highly recommend the friend chicken and the shrimp. The large plate salmon was awesome and I usually hate salmon. There was not enough lamb in the lamb dish but the lamb that was there was excellent. It was my birthday it was a great meal. Thank you

    The food for the tasting menu was delicious. It was only a 5 course experience, but the portions were reasonable and cocktail pairing was excellent. The food and cocktail pairing wasn’t timed well, and service was a little absent in the beginning, but I think it was just a bit of an off night.

    A lovely restaurant where they mastered their recipes while changing the classic in the best possible way. The level of cocktails making is really high as all signatures have their own flavors and personality. Food items are really impressive and mastered too, from starters to the main course, you’ll get surprised in a great way. Shout out the chef and the team. The host/owner is lovely, kind and accommodat well.
