The server could have been more attentive. Our water glasses should have been filled more regularly and we asked for ice and had to ask another server since ours forgot.

A cascade of flowers and the mural paintings really grabs up when you walk in. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The kale fritters were so crunchy delicious that we were enchanted. The grilled shrimp were juicy and spicy. All the serving bowls, platters are handcrafted and unique. The meal was so well spiced and two entrees were enough for 3 people. The mango ice cream cubes were a revelation! Def worth a return visit!

Ambience and live music by Singer/Chef Kunal was the highlight. Food was average and expensive. It is more expensive than good restaurants in NYC. Window seat is not heated well and was really hard to enjoy food. It was kind of freezing.

Appetizers were good. Main courses were OK. A little pricey for Indian food. Churro was very good as a dessert.

First time trying authentic Indian cuisine and all I can say is it was delicious! The presentation and service was on point. Best lamb chops I’ve tried! And the churros dessert is a must try! The ambiance throughout is a vibe!
