Reached here at 11:40. Took them 20 mins to get us seated. The place was not crowded. Took them another 20 minutes to even come by our table. Another 25 minutes to get the food. There was water under the table. On requesting someone to clean, the person basically pointed to another person and walked away.
The food was good but oily. Overall experience was subpar.
Vibe at this restaurant is so authentically positive and soulful, not just because of the great food but all of it from music to sincere service to decor. Feeling of being in India. Great food which is somewhere between home and a restaurant.
