It's been a month since I had the Chicken Tikka Poutine and I still think about it fondly. Not only was the food the best thing I had in my Los Angeles trip, it traveled WONDERFULLY, managing to still be in restaurant condition after about 30 minutes of stewing in a takeout container.Excellent ingredients, prep, and clear research done on the best to-go packaging necessary to make a star dish edible on receipt. Cannot recommend enough.

I have been wanting to try this place for quite awhile now. The food was overall good. I will say the fish for the fish moilee was a little undercooked. The scaly side was not crisp and it was also hard to cut into. But the curry sauce was phenomenal. Samosas and their sauces were super tasty. The yogurt puffs were bite size and fun to bite into. The saag paneer was also full of flavor and did not disappoint. I will say the roti was a little different than what I am used to. A little bit on the tougher side compared to the flaky and light rotis I’ve had in the past. Overall 4/5

We had a wonderful and delicious meal. We ordered some samosas, nan, three different dishes to share, and some desserts (mango ice cream). My husband had a beer, and I ordered Chai hot tea. We truly recommend this place, and I hope you get to meet Sebastian, a very friendly server.

Very tight spaced “restaurant” clogged with seating, food came in very late even though its not busy.Food also wasn’t authentic as claimed, after appetizers ,started looking up other places to dine in.Not worth the hype or $$

The restaurant plays super loud music and, the food was below average!! The food is super expensive and not worth the hype or the suggestion. Not going back! We got dahi puri and they serve 5 small pieces for $10 that’s really expensive and it dint even taste average.

The best possible review I could give; the food is so terrific I didn't mind the tourists table next to me over sharing and trauma dumping.Limited experience with Indian cuisine prior, but the butter chicken is divine. Perfectly balanced.

From March 2024:Every dish our group of four had was delicious and distinct. The portions were smaller than most places, which is not a bad thing, but of course in LA a smaller meal means it costs more. Definitely worth saving up some of your money to try however.The music was too loud and genre did not fit the scene, bordering on the line of nightclub atmosphere. Perhaps I'm just old.All things considered it's a unique place worthy of trying, but be prepared to yell across your table in order to hear.

No wonder it was packed. The place does a great job at reinventing Indian food while still preserving classic flavors.The prices are high for the portions, having said that the fusion and wine options are amazing for a hip night out in DTLA.Service was friendly and good for us even with a full place and on the second floor. I would recommend to make a reservation before going on weekend nights, tho.
