Excellent food!

We ordered the Shyam Savera which was great. The mango lassi very authentic

The lady was kind enough and took a good family photo.

Excellent place to sit outside and enjoy a view of the Water as we dined.

Will return!

No one answered phone and hostess was rude and then refused to takr a to go order....smelled good though....not sure why people in service industry have an attitude.

Worst service and horrible customer treatment by waitresses.
These guys don’t know how to run restaurant. They only have one chef! Short staffed on waiters.
It’s only good for local people who don’t know much about Indian food.

The restaurant staff is extremely arrogant. They made us stand at the check in for 10 minutes and when the lady came , she said that we don't have much staff and your order will take long and she and the staff don't want to get yelled at....she was very rude. We exited the restaurant immediately. Worst attitude towards customers. This is the first time I experienced bad attitude towards Indian customer in a restaurant serving Indian food.

Great location right on the waterfront. The food and service are both outstanding and one of our favorite go to spots

My wife and I had supper here Sep. 5th 2024. The restaurant is simply laid out without much flash to it. The food, on the other hand, was delicious! We started with samosas which were served piping hot and tasted great and came with a very good tamarind chutney and a mint chutney that had a real punch!

I had the chicken curry and my wife had chicken tikka masala. The rice was perfectly cooked and fluffy. My curry wasn't as hot as I'd like it but I'm crazy for heat. The flavor was excellent and the meat was perfectly cooked. My wife's tikka masala was marvelous as well. She got it mild and they served it perfectly.

The garlic naan came absolutely coated in garlic! Marvelous.

For desert we split an order of gulab jabon and the chocolate mosaic cake. The gulab jabon very good. The cake was to die for!!! Absolutely over the top.

We will definitely be dining here again!

We went to this restaurant to eat dinner over the labor day weekend. First of all we were disappointed that they had us wait for 15 minute just to even server coming to ask us to sit. Then they had us sit infront of a broken AC which kept blowing COLD air on us. After multiple requests, they changed the direction of airflow but the AC is very old and it kept falling back to its original position making our stay UNCOMFORTABLE. Then the waitress finally switched the AC off. The whole restaurant was served by only 2 waitress. They were very very overworked and trying their best but not helping as a customer. Food came after multiple wrong calls.. food was OK but to our biggest disappointment, they had charged 20% gratuity built in to the bill. We had 5 people in our party. No where before the bill they let us know about the 20% in built gratuity. It is a rip off..

ALL folks going to the place and reading this review, make sure you check with them before even being seated about this 20% built in charge. I read other reviews on this place seeing they charging it for party of 3.. wow..

No I will not visit this place again.

Food was below average. Restaurant owner added 20% gratuity on her own. Going here is very hard as it situated end of bridge on opposite side. Only plus is the location as it is on the bay.

We have now gotten dinner from here multiple times over the years and it never disappoints!! Recently we went to go dine in and sat outside for dinner and the view was gorgeous; wonderful outdoor seating and it seemed like the inside seating had a good atmosphere as well. Highly recommend the Samosa Chaat, by far my favorite and everyone else at dinner loved it too. The Aloo Gobi Masala was tasty as well but personally could’ve had a bit more spice and flavor. Overall a great place to grab dinner, and if you can, I’d recommend going there to sit outside! Will definitely be going back sometime.
