I have visited this restaurant several times since 2006, most recently in Dec 2025. It has never disappointed and provides flavorful Indian food with a nice ambience. The location is very convenient and they have a good selection of Indian food including some entries which distinguish them from other Indian restaurants in the city. Furthermore, the quality of service is admirable. Its not just a place to get some Indian food but also a great place for a date or an event or a business...

Set up a birthday surprise for my significant other while out of town. Staff was accommodating and Treed helped as much as he could. Food and presentation were outstanding and their spin to classic cocktails… refreshing. Infusing their vodka in house as well. Thank you for the assistance!

I ordered the lamb korma it was very delicious. I would recommend hot as medium didn’t have enough spice for my liking-delicious nonetheless. Service was fast and the waitress was nice. It is a very beautiful restaurant!
