The service was impeccable, and staff were knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations. Each dish we tried was bursting with fresh ingredients and expertly balanced spices. Highly recommended we will come back to explore more flavors of their menu.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten free

Food is good. But you have to be patient like Robert Bruce to dine in here because they will serve you after eternity.

Nice high-end restaurant and good service. A bit pricey, around $30 a person, but perhaps to be expected for the area and target market.The food: I’m Pakistani and it was not what I was looking for. Perhaps it’s because the owners are from Mumbai. The Aloo paratha didn’t have many spices and was very oily. The chana masala, the chanay were pretty hard and the sauce was heavy on the tomato. I’m usually looking for Lahori-style chikkar chole, which are more in a brown onion gravy and less tomato. I don’t think this is a criticism of the food, I was just looking for something different.Update: I guess I was looking for chole instead of chana masala.Update: i ordered non veg thali and spicy navrattan korma for delivery, came out to $55 plus tip. Delivery fee is $10 but I’m glad they delivered to campus.Thali came with papadum, 2 small samosas, 1 gulab jamun, lassi, chana masala, palak murghi (chicken spinach), rice, raita, butter chicken, naan. It’s ~ $25 but a fair value for all this stuff. For my taste the curries in Thali were too mild and sweet.I got spicy Navrattan korma too, which was excellent!

The food was phenomenal!We ordered some Kerala chicken curry (forgetting the exact name) as an appetizer. It was too good to be true!Then we ordered Mughlai kofta medium spicy. These guys have nailed it, the sweetness and spice level was perfect otherwise most of the chefs screw any Malai dishes to sweetness. This was balanced. Koftas we really good.Hats off guys. Keep it up!

While the hostess was friendly, my experience was horrible. I don’t even know how this restaurant even survived given that there are much better and authentic Indian options in the area. I ordered the chili fish and andhra chilli chicken, and both tasted off. I waited a long time for my main (andhra chilli chicken), and the dish was extremely underwhelming. The rice tasted stale, and I know for a fact that many of the dishes are reheated in the microwave (I heard it from where I was sitting). I got a view of the kitchen from where I was sitting, and I was honestly scared to eat here because the kitchen looked messy. Got bad food poisoning the next day. Avoid at all costs, there are much better options in the area.

I ordered a take out for three dishes. Spicy Sev puri, spicy aloo dahi puri and spicy paneer tikka sizzler. All three were a huge let down. They gave same mint chutney for all three dishes. Clearly the chef has no clue how to make North Indian chaat dishes. There was no garlic chutney and who puts tomato in Sev puri and dahi puri, eewwww. The puris used were huge, like used for papdi chaat.There should be cilantro chutney on these chaats not mint chutney. The paneer sizzler was just slathered with raw spices which were not grilled properly. The taste was really bad and the raw spices were burning our tongue. Horrible restaurant and food. My advice is to try elsewhere for authentic Indian food because the chef here clearly needs a lot more training and learning. This is no where close to how North Indian dishes taste. Please stop fooling people and yourself.

The food was mediocre, and the Chicken 65 didn't seem fresh; it appeared dried and was difficult to chew. I don't recommend this restaurant.

I use to eat at this place allot and use to be a great place to dine. However, not sure why but I have regretted all the money I have spent in last few month to eat from this place. Its expensive and food lacks taste.Vegetarian options: Not good for the price point.
