This is one of our favorite restaurants. I would have given a 5, but compared to prior experiences would give it a 4 for consistency. Just the experience was not “top notch” as previously. Surprisingly, the naan was not fresh (hard and cold), but the rest of the food was exquisite.

Great food preparation and presentation. Flavors are muted but retain the soul of Indian food. We visit often and are always happy with the experience.

Food was great. We did the tasting menu. It would have been nice to get through it faster. We had a 7:15 reservation, talked a bit before we ordered probably around 7:30 and we did not finish until 10pm. The waiter was a little awkward. We needed a few moments in the beginning to look through menu and we felt rushed as they kept constantly asking if we were ready to order. We felt rushed so just ordered the tasting menu. On some of the courses a different guy served the food and didn't even say what it was. I asked him what the food was and his response was “this is the tasting menu.” 1 drink per person and 4 tasting menus. Came out to almost 700 after everything. No offense but could have enjoyed a nicer experience for less. Food was overall good. Just wasn't the same classy experience I enjoyed there previously.

We were seated promptly. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Our waiters recommendations were excellent. We had a variety of appetizers and sides and all were well prepared and a bit different than run of the mill Indian food We loved the crab poppers,chicken tikka,spinach &goatcheese kulcha,garlic naan. The only dish we did not Care for was the pickle tasting. For dessert the pistachio& moong dal halea frangipan was amazing and beautifully arranged. We will definitely return

Thank you Chefs and Brittany Nicole! I didn't expect a tandoori roasted duck for Christmas, but to my surprise you all prepared a wonderful meal for my family. It was my first experience and I can say, without a doubt, it has surpassed all expectations. Wonderful food and great memories were enjoyed this holiday season. Hats off, top notch! 100% will be returning to try other prize worthy dishes and phenomenal service! Highly recommended 🙌🙏❤️

Christmas Eve at Amrina was nothing short of spectacular—an absolute masterclass in elevated hospitality and flavor.
From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt festive yet refined, and the service was warm, attentive, and polished without ever feeling stuffy. Every course felt intentional, celebratory, and memorable.
The A5 Wagyu Skewers were unreal—perfectly cooked, impossibly rich, and paired brilliantly with the whiskey naan bites, which deserve their own standing ovation. The Crab Poppers were a standout surprise: imagine crab cakes, but lighter, bolder, and layered with South Indian flavors that made them completely addictive. The Gochujang Chili Paneer hit all the right notes—crispy, spicy, and deeply savory—while the Madagascar Malai Chicken was luscious, aromatic, and comforting in the best way.
The Christmas Eve specials truly stole the show. The Pork Ribs were tender, beautifully glazed, and packed with flavor, and the Roasted Chicken was executed flawlessly—juicy, well-seasoned, and elegant without trying too hard.
And then dessert. Santa’s Berry Long Nap was the perfect finale—festive, playful, and indulgent, with just the right balance of sweetness and sophistication. It felt like a gift at the end of an already incredible evening.
Amrina didn’t just serve dinner—they created an experience. Christmas Eve here felt special, thoughtful, and truly five-star in every sense. If you’re looking for a place that blends impeccable service, inventive cuisine, and genuine heart, this is it. We’ll be talking about this meal for a long time.
Great spot to eat, food was very flavorful. Our waitress Brittany Nicole was very nice and helpful. She made some great recommendations for us and made the experience wonderful.
