Charles HeckscherDecember 30, 2015Quiet atmosphere, you can have a conversation; good food, good value. Check out Chicken 65 (appetizer, spicy, delicious), chicken dahliwala
Jase EngMarch 4, 2017Everything we ordered was incredible. They are also accommodating if you have special requests that are off-menu!
Gajtana SimonovskaNovember 12, 2017I came for an art and music event on the first floor. Great service and rum and coke. Friendly ambience.
Daniel SpiewakSeptember 8, 2014Very unknown gem. They have plenty of room and they're never packed. Get the tandoori. Also the mushrooms.
Sally CedarOctober 5, 2014Nice meal. Lamb, shrimp and great saag paneer (spinach and chesse). Enjoyable ambiance
Mary WbnJanuary 28, 2013Brilliant food at incredible value. I couldn't recommend the lunchtime buffet enough. I will be back!
Village VoiceJanuary 3, 2011Their Fish Cutlet, Stuffed Vegetable Roti, and Chicken Roti were featured dishes at Choice Eats
Fabricio PerrellaMay 26, 2013Very tasty indian cuisine. Approved naans and paneer. Try to start with samosas.
Even if you aren't a huge fan of Indian food, the bar is so nice to hang out in!
DirkApril 5, 2013Don't believe the 50% off . We ate and drank at the bar. When we presented the foursquare deal they said it was for the restaurant only. They also said we needed to tell them ahead of time
- Wouldnt honor four sqare 50% off coupon up to $15. Didnt want to fight w manager. Food and service very good
Susana M.January 31, 2011Delicious food. Try the lemon basmati rice instead of the usual rice with green peas. Service staff is quite unexperienced.
Anissa TFebruary 20, 2011Try the vegetable biryani and the chicken tikka Nan... the food here is incredible n will leave u speechless
Paxton BatchelderJune 16, 2012I've never had Indian food before and I still cannot really say I have. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Daniel ShawMarch 3, 2015Make sure you don't open the bottles on the table, they'll charge you for them!
Adam LehmanMarch 24, 2010The Vindaloo is quiet good with just the right amount of spice. If you aren't a fan of lamb, they will make it with chicken upon request.
Kevin RubinMay 8, 2011The dhansak was good. Not quite what my in-laws' servants in India make for me, but good none-the-less.
VaishaliApril 6, 2010They have an amazing selection of vegetarian food. I loved their buffet as well. Good ambiance..
Emily LNovember 4, 2013There was a mouse running across the main dining room! Food we ate was tasty though.

""Old man" bar with great happy hour specials and good atmosphere. Great place to go with coworkers to have a beer. All sausage though, so no need to go if you are single."
