Outstanding experience! The food is delicious. Beautiful aromas from our plates. Thebflavors were so different but went so well together! I highly recommend you treat yourself to the royal falooda dessert! Share it with someone and start with pani poori. The Ice Spice Feni cocktail was great. A wonderful lunch experience. Our server was very helpful and informative. We'll be coming back.

The worst Indian restaurant ever i tried. The food is average and the portions for the food is absolutely small and it is like around 26 bucks. The basic thing for any Indian restaurant is onion on the side for the biryani and they were trying to charge for that as salad. The price of a dish from menu is not same as in the check. They were trying charge more naming as that prices have increased. Our bill is like 80 bucks for the two dishes. It was not even close to the indian food and culture.

Had an amazing experience here. The service was so helpful and kind. I met someone on the street who was asking for some cash. Didn’t have any money on me so I offered to buy the man some food from here. The man refused, but the owner of the restaurant walked by just as this was happening, and gave the man some cash himself.
My wife and I sat down to eat had an amazing time with excellent suggestions from the server. The food was some of the most unique and the best Indian food I’ve had. at the top it all off our son got to enjoy a complementary piece of cake from the kitchen highly recommend. He’s a wonderful people with a great business.

A big thanks to Tarun for his suggestions, Their Delhi-style Chole Bhature is hands down the best I’ve had in the U.S. The bhature are light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, while the chole is rich, spiced just right, and bursting with authentic Delhi flavor. One bite and it instantly brought back memories of home. :)

We found this restaurant walking around near our hotel staying at the Astor crown plaza, we saw the sign with the menu outdoor, the cool vibe and atmosphere inside and decided to give it a try. I have a ton of allergies that are generally hard to accommodate with Indian cuisine, but they spoke with the chefs and were able to accommodate me with the Chole Bhature (gluten free- if the bread isn’t included and subbed with rice, dairy free, tomato free and onion free). The flavor was delicious and the service was top notch. My fiance had the saag paneer and garlic naan and loved both as well. Definitely a fun spot if you are staying near canal/bourbon street!

I'll admit every time I'm in New Orleans I go to Lufu. It is an Indian restaurant but I've never had many of its dishes. I had the peri peri gobi and chicken angathura. The service as usual was on point the drinks as well and the food was beyond tasty. If you're in the area try it out

We love Indian food and regularly get it in Toronto. This was far superior to anything we have had in memory. The server was lovely and being able to see directly into the kitchen was fun. Eat here!

Staff was friendly. Wife got the pani poori and I had the Vada Pav as we were grabbing a light snacks plus a couple cocktails. Pani poori was refreshing and the vada pav was excellent and fresh too. I also had the darjeeling old fashioned which was good flavored nicely.

Didn't like it really. Food was too spicy. The service was just ok and the price was not great either. I don't really recommend going there.

We stayed across from the restaurant and decided to check it out for dinner during our stay. This is a great place to dine-in, the food was authentic Indian - no dilution of spices/recipes with cream. The decor is modern, seating was comfortable and service was pretty good. We did not have to wait for a table on a weekend evening, but I would recommend calling ahead and reserving.
