Service was bad, the guy helping us did not seem enthused to say the least. He was reluctant to help. They were completely out of lamb and our food did not come out correctly. We were the only people in the restaurant so it was surprising. We were really hoping for the best but it fell short.

Went there early on a Saturday night - Beautiful spot but empty - Granted we were very early - We asked the waitress for drinks and she told us that there was no bartender - lol - We worked out with our waiter - Food was really fresh and good and the prices did not seem bad - I hope that they make it - They are in a odd spot but worth checking out

This is a new Indian restaurant. The food is very well prepared. They have both vegetarian and meat dishes. The menu is very well rounded. They have a happy hour with half priced apps. We were waited on by Happy. A very detail oriented person. I was not sure on what to order he did a very good job of describing the items and making suggestions. Everything he said was spot on about the food we ordered. We had an eggplant app that was very good. The lamb chops we ordered was large enough to share by two. As an FYI they have a bar. You will not go wrong

We went for Mothers day brunch, which was $30 per plate and the food was not good at all. The naan had become very hard and none of the appetizers were good. Only the Idli and Vada were good. The chicken tikka had no chicken in it and it was all sauce and the buffet had 12-14 items including appetizers. The chole bhatura was good but the bhatura was left in the container for so long that it had become hard. The main problem I had with it was that when you charge $30 a plate, the least we expect is good fresh food in buffet and atleast all the items should be filled out. One lady next to our table complained about chicken tandoor not being filled for 30 mins and then the server brought the chicken tikka but it had no spice or salt in it. Overall, it was not a good experience to have the mothers day lunch here. I would not visit here again for sure.

Great Indian Upscale food with very friendly staff + extensive menu while offering a lot of choices from the bar, which is quite unusual for an India restaurant. Mexican and Italian food to!

We visited for the first time on Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant had an outdoor celebration going on, in line with their Mexican, Italian, Indian fusion. The music was loud hence the score. The menu is quite varied with several dishes we had never tried before despite visiting most of the Indian restaurants in the area. We started with one such dish, Chilies Paneer, which was delicious and spicy. For main course we went more traditional; my wife had the Shrimp Vindaloo which was the best we have tasted and I had the Tandoori Lamb chops which were excellent. Service was excellent and the serving sizes are large. It is also nice to dine at an Indian restaurant that has a license rather than BYOB. We will certainly be returning soon.
