    Came here for a relaxing birthday lunch and had a wonderful experience. The space was peaceful and cozy, and the lotus root appetizer, lamb chops and Manchurian cauliflower were absolutely amazing!

    We tried the lamb chops, venison chops, butter chicken and spinach paneer. All were great! Venison chops had a kick to them. The sides are fairly small, but two with rice can make a meal.

    A beautiful restaurant with a tranquil vibe. We love how much detail went into each dish. We got the Chicken Korma which was bursting with flavors as it soaked in a bath of delectable juices.

    This Michelin-starred Indian restaurant serves trimmed down versions of the original dishes. Make sure to order the Goat Biryani, with goat serves on the bone.

    The lamb chops are perfect. Get a side of Manchurian cauliflower, which tastes like General Tso's. Michelin star upscale Indian.

    As others pointed out-the lamb chops and manchurian cauliflower are remarkable. The pistachio dessert I was prepared to lick from the bowl. This is a midtown gem.

    In the mood for some Michelin star dining? The decor is on point and their chicken tikka masala is probably the best I've ever had.

    Try the fragrant dum biryani, an Indian-style potpie filled with glistening hunks of ginger-marinated goat leg tossed with saffron-dyed basmati rice. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011 Read more

    Get vevichathu (giant shrimp in coconut curry) & baghare baingan (eggplant). Breads + seasonal desserts are excellent. – Green Guide Editor

    Try the Goat Dum Biryani. The unique flavor of the meat with the ginger, garlic and saffron is absolutely delicious! Just keep telling yourself it's...chicken!

    Have a 1947 lager and two orders of the Manchurian cauliflower. Some lamb chops and a curry, rice and bread. Ignore the rest. All’s well. Read more

    Get the goat dum baryani. It's my Indian paella but better because it had soft baked bread on top. Saffron flavor is just right!

    I think I heard a choir of angels singing behind me when I bit into their garlic naan. So good... Their butter chicken is yummy too...

    It's a very nice place! Though I am not sure if you can call it "authentic" Indian though.
