My favorite dish was the bokchoy.The samosas were ok, and the Parsi Lamb was also good enough, although if you don’t like spicy, maybe skip it.As mentioned in some comments, the tables are really close together, so it is not a good place to have private conversations.

Nothing feels modern about this place . Very bad Indian food for a very high price . Also a very congested place.We ate bokchoy chaat , Gobi lababdaar, rampuri Taar gosht. Gobi lababdaar very spicy. Rampuri Taar gosht was ok but too pricy and the chaat too sour. They amount of rice they give for a given curry was too less.

Food very unbalanced in flavor. Things are too spicy or too sour. They give very tiny amount of rice with entreBokchoy chaat: ok, but too sour. Bokchoy was force fitted into a samosa chaat instead of samosa just to claim its innovative.Cauliflower lababdaar : insanely spicy, not flavorful, just spicyRampuri taar gosht: mehRice : microscopic amountVegetarian options: Very less vegetarian options.

My new favorite Indian restaurant in the city. First of, freshly made food, Indian cooking loses its charm if it's not made fresh. Menu is quite unique and food flavorful. We went in for the Tondoori Pomfret on a friend's recommendation and landed up, loving every dish we ordered. Pani Puri, Bok Choy chaat, tandoori Pineapple, tandoori Pomfret, Spinach Paneer, yellow tadka dal, Naan.A must try restaurant!!!Vegetarian options: Vegan option also available, ask them for recommendations

I don’t get it….are awful at managing reservations so expect a wait regardless, and food was sub-par. Lemon chicken seemed like a dish ruined because someone added too much lemon (you can’t take more than 4 bites of the dish). Shrimp ghee roast was too oily and (again) tangy. My wife liked the bokchoy chat (I think any chat I’ve had in the past is probably better). Oh and they forgot to add yogurt (kinda the main ingredient) - promised a refund when we pointed it out - but didn’t refund when we looked at the bill. You get a good insta pic out of your visit tho?

Not your typical traditional Indian restaurant. The food here is very unique and creative.We started with the Bokchoy Chaat. I'm a big fan of Samosa Chaat and not a fan of adding more vegetables to an item I already like, but I thought the chaat was really good. Somehow, the bokchoy, the pomegranate and the chutney mixed together created an amazing flavor profile.We also had the Chipotle Chicken Tikka. I thought it was good, but not a must-have dish.We shared the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. At first, we thought the portion wouldn't be big enough to share, but it was perfect for two. And it tasted excellent. It was a little on the spicy side, but I couldn't stop eating it.For dessert, we ordered both desserts that the restaurant carries; the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee and the Lychee Firni. Both were amazing!! I would come back to the restaurant just to have dessert again! I never thought that a gulab jamun stuck inside creme brulee would go together, but it totally works! And who would think to put lychee pieces in firni? I loved both and you can't go wrong with either.

Instagram had hyped this place up so much, but our experience didn’t live up to it. The wall art is nice, but the restaurant is small and a bit cramped (25 seats, no table covers). We had a reservation through OpenTable but they couldn’t find it so we had to wait for ~20 mins.The food was creatively presented, but the taste was okay (nothing to write home about). Good as a one time experience but at this price point, we won’t be recommending to friends.

Food and service was good but place is smaller than it looks in the pictures. Can’t have private conversation. Tables are placed too close to each other.

This place got like 2-3 tables lol it’s too small. When I saw their video on TikTok it was looking wonderful but when I went in for my birthday dinner it was not what I expected. Food was mid too i can make that chicken at home lol without spice and flavor . They had like 20 options that’s it. Food had no flavor at all I don’t know how this place has 4.5 stars lol and who is getting paid to review it. Do not recommend at all. You can find way better restaurants that are probably way cheaper in option too.
