“This place is fantastic!!! The pasta was to die for! The lamb pizza I’ve been thinking about since I’ve eaten it! The only hiccup was that they were short staffed in the kitchen so we were there for a very long time AND my husbands steak was over cooked. They did more than enough to make it right and were very apologetic. The place is very cute and homey inside. PLUS BYOB! We will be back again that’s for sure !”

“If you’re from Maharashtra and are tired of substandard pav bhaji and vada pav at every Indian restaurant, then behold - this is the greatest pav bhaji you’ll find in the state.First up - they have the pav that is the closest to what you can get in Maharashtra. Soft and flatter - none of the buffed up nonsense being served up everywhere else.The bhaji itself is excellent and buttery.I’m going to have dreams about this dinner!Highly recommend trying out the gulab jamun as well. It’s made fresh and served hot! Excellent food and thoroughly enjoyed.”

“I always say to people that I bring here that they serve flavor bombs that explode in your mouth. This place is a true experience. Atmosphere and service are always top notch and the food never disappoints. They serve non-vegan and vegan items so it is a great place to go with a mixed dietary restriction group. They can even take care of Gluten Free people as well. Would give this place 6 stars if I could.Vegetarian options: They offer vegan options on their menuDietary restrictions: Gluten Free options”

Everything was amazing. The pizza was like being back in Italy. We also got the nutella desert which should be illegal. Cannot wait to try our way through the menus.

“My wife and I walked into LK for the first time and the hostess greeted us and said "sit anywhere you'd like".....what restaurant ever says that, we were hooked right away. We both shared a caesar salad, it was delicious. My wife ordered pasta with sausage. That too was delicious, I had the pasta with cherry tomatoes and crab meat, absolutely delicious. When our order came, we immediately got fresh pepper and before I could even ask for fresh cheese, a gentleman was waiting behind me with the cheese. I mean, c'mon the place has a great food, great service and a nice chill atmosphere. I think we just found our go-to restaurant.”

“I’ve been trying to book this place for months and was finally able to snag a convenient time!Our server Igor was absolutely wonderful and super friendly. He suggested a few meals for us but we ultimately chose the Omakase which came with a 5 course meal.We started with Salmon Crudo which was served over a Furikaki Cracker and Crema. The cracker was SOOOO GOOD and the crema was great!The Calamri Fritti packed a ton of flavor and had a slight but subtle spiciness to it.Next we were served the Ramen Shrimp Scampi. It was very delicious and had a sweet note to it. A little on the saltier side for me but would still rate this dish a 9/10!My absolute favorite part of the Omakase was the Black Cod which was cooked to perfection! The Miso had the perfect balance between creaminess, salt and a little sweetness. The Cod literally flaked right off and couldn’t have been cooked better!!!Our last dish was the Zeppoles with a chocolate dipping sauce. The Zeppoles had a crunchy exterior and a very soft and spongy but light inside. It was a delightful dessert.Overall I would 10/10 recommend.”
