The decor of the restaurante is super cool. The service was excelente. The DJ was playing some amazing mix of Indian, latin and pop. I highly recommend.

My husband and I stop by for brunch and had my sister in law and her husband join us. They do offer and American style breakfast options, regardless everything we had was delicious. We met manager and the owner who were very welcoming and the service was excellent. We will most definitely return soon and try something different on their menu. We highly recommend it.

We celebrated a family dinner here while visiting Pasadena, and it was phenomenal. The team was incredibly accommodating from the moment we arrived - so warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful with every detail.

The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared truly some of the best Indian food we’ve had, and such a rare find in this area. The atmosphere was just as amazing: welcoming, vibrant, and perfect for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings like ours.

We left so happy and so impressed. Highly, highly recommend to anyone visiting or local who’s looking for delicious Indian food and an exceptional dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

I’ve visited this restaurant twice on Fridays because they’ve always had a live DJ on Fridays and Saturdays. Unfortunately, for the past two weeks, there hasn’t been any live music on Fridays.

We came as a group of 12 to celebrate my birthday and were really hoping for the same great music experience we enjoyed at their old location that’s actually what first drew me to this restaurant.

The new place looks amazing, with a classy and upscale vibe. The food is good, and the service was excellent. The only disappointment was the lack of music, and the food could be a little tastier.

Overall, still a nice spot, but I definitely missed the energy that the live DJ brings.

This place caught my wife and I totally off guard. Best Indian food we’ve had in the states. We ended up ordering a weeks worth of food, it was so good — we got the chicken korma, paneer, and chicken tikka masala, with sides of roti and garlic cheese naan. The naan in particular was a standout, I didn’t want to dip it in anything because it tasted so good on its own. Interior was also delightful, they didn’t skimp on materials. May this place have a long and bright future.

Service was great but sadly the rest was just ok. Noodles were SUPER salty, my family wouldn’t eat them, the palak paneer was a sweet purée, and the tikka was just ok. Cool setting and great location.

This new place is truly luxurious. After visiting five to six times with my boyfriend, I can say that the food is consistently delicious, the service is excellent, and the music is outstanding. I'm happy to see that they still have a live DJ on Fridays and Saturdays.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting an elevated Indian dining experience with great vibes

We went here for an early dinner and had the place to ourselves. They made us fresh chai which was delicious. We got lamb biryani, black dal, and garlic naan. Everything was absolutely delicious, and reminded us of our trip to India.

Not too sure how this place got this high of reviews. Online it said it was open at noon but they didn’t open till 1pm. Ok no problem.. we went somewhere else and come back at 1. Once seated we order the food…They told us the sizzling plate will take about 35 mins which we said sure. Little did we know.. the whole meal took over 40 mins to come out. I’m not sure how they could’ve been this slow for the stuff we ordered. It wasn’t like the place was full. Almost through the meal the server brought out the sauces. It just seemed like the flow of what came out wasn’t carefully thought out.

The taste of the food was just ok. I wouldn’t rave about this or think it was worth coming back for. It didn’t mention goat cheese was going to be on the pizza which did catch us by surprise.

There was a fork on the floor that I found at my table when I sat down and since I was the first to sit at that table it was a bit odd.. like was the floor not cleaned?

Only reason I came was to use my Amex Resy credit.. but nothing really stood out.
