This restaurant is quite lovely with attentive service. We liked most of the dishes very much although there was one paneer special that was not to our taste. We will continue to return.
Beautiful atmosphere, great service and amazing food. Butter chicken was sooo tender! Def get the Chana Masala, it was all medium spiced. Will come back here when on travel.
Good food with excellent service. Although there is a large sign by the front entrance that reservations are required, they were able to seat us right away even without a reservation. The staff was prompt and attentive, creating a welcoming environment. The restaurant has amazing ambiance, very chic. We highly recommend this restaurant.
It is a new the area and it is my first visit. The interior is beautiful. I've ordered Butter chicken, Baigan Bharta, and chicken changezi. They are very delicious and the presentation is good. As an appetizer, i've ordered honey chili crispy potatoes. It is still delicious but kind of french fries with the sweet and tangy sauce. The staff is kind and caring. I'd like to visit again.
Absolutely our favorite restaurant in the area! Everyone told me to try it so we went for my birthday tonight and everything was fabulous My favorites are the vegetable Kashmiri pulav (read description in menu photo) and the paneer pasanda A glass of great Malbec was only $7! The three of us ordered three dishes and an appetizer plus drinks and it was enough food for 6 people- with tip, approx $100- very high quality food for a very nice price Fantastic birthday meal
Great food and amazing service. We walked in a little early on a Friday evening, initially we were the only guests in the restaurant. The dining area was very tastefully decorated with quiet Indian music playing in the background. Our orders were taken promptly, we put in an order of Samosas, they came with sweet and spicy chutney. Great tasting but a little on the petite side for the price. My wife ordered Chicken Tikka Masala (her usual) and I asked for a recommendation and ended up with a great lamb dish. Enjoyable dining experience, we will definitely be back.
From the time we walked in to the time we left EVERYTHING was perfect! Food, Service, Ambience was spot on. The place was exceptionally clean and inviting and the staff were all very attentive.
Amazing food, friendly staff, and generous portions! My sister went here a few weeks ago and I got to try her leftovers. Everything was delicious so I had to come here myself to get Basil's Paneer Pasanda. This dish is rich and saucy, full of flavor and accompanied by rice. We also ordered a lamb dish and chicken dish which were juicy and full of flavor.
