The restaurant encompass traditional Indian home cooking, ingredient driven using local artisan purveyors. Chef Niven highlights the experience of dining at Ghee: "I want to my guests to walk into Ghee with the sense of entering my home. I want them to feel at home. I want them to smell the aromas and spices and get more engaged in their meal. One of the things that I always tell my cooks is, ask questions, be inquisitive if you don’t know. I want the same for my guests."

Went to Earls yesterday for dinner with my wife, and two of our closest friends. They had our table ready 10 minutes before we even arrived. The hostess greeted us with exceptional hospitality(as always), and our favorite server De Juan provided us with excellent service, always extremely attentive to even the most minuscule detail. For dinner we started with the yuzu Calamari, and avocado dip. We also ordered the Wagyu beef oshi press, and cajun blackened chicken. As expected, everything was delicious. Safe to say we had an amazing night, and already looking forward to our next visit.
