Very mediocre Indian restaurant. Food is uninspired and not really as flavorful as I would expect from an Indian place. The spice level is also really low (initially ordered a 4/5 spice level because I am not arrogant to order the max as a non-indian, but there was genuinely no spice there; I then ordered 5/5 and it was a barely anything) Service was lackluster, had to actively try to get the waiter's attention when anything was needed. Biryani was too soft and not grainy...

This is the best Indian restaurant I've been to hands down. The food is amazing, the drinks just as good. There is a bit of something for everyone. Even if you think you don't like Indian food please give this place a try, it could really change your mind. Also I highly recommend the mango drink!
