    Excellent food. Impeccable service. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Next time I’ll do the 3 course, instead of the 4. The portions were a bit larger than I thought they’d be- which I am not complaining about. Although the decor is pleasing- it lacks vibe. One could say the decor is a blank slate to better show off the art of the food- but it’s just a bit sterile, imho.

    Food is very good. Tends not to be crowded when we go on early end, which makes us think the quality of the food may not be widely discovered. We’ve been to about 5 Indian restaurants on the upper east side and none is better and only one possibly is as good, but the service is better at Om. I drink a lot of water and my glass never got near empty!
