    Tasting menu will not leave you hungry! Fab amuse bouches and starters, delicately spiced and then a wonderful thalli style main with a mix of seafood, meat and veg currys along with daal and naan.

    Seafood coconut curry is rich and amazing, highly recommend. Trendy Indian food but high quality so worth the price and the wait!

    Did the tasting menu; which is a TON of food; appetizers and thali plate + kulfi. Bonus points for the Bollywood music in the background.

    Can only get a reservation if you do the tasting menu but you won't regret it. Chai ice cream at the end was awesome.

    The duck in the duck curry is DRY. The seafood curry is awesome. The kulfi is great. They seem it have a 4 song loop soundtrack. The bathrooms are not very private; stall doors are frosted glass.

    Food is great. Unbuttered chicken and naan. Lentils are ok, cauliflower is good, but kind of expensive. Cocktails are good. The ambiance and service super friendly. Too much money though.

    The food is good, but the prices are very inconsistent.

    Ignore the decor, this place is entirely avoidable. The food wasn’t good at all.
