An amazing experience from start to finish. Our server explained all the menu items and recommended some based on our preferences. The food itself was exceptional. The service was like a choreographed symphony. The decor is all imported from India, and stunning, especially the front room. And the drinks! Every one an experience.

Wow wow wow, everything was delicious and so flavorful. The service was great, the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about every component in each dish. I could tell they were excited about each dish they served. The drink pairings were excellent. My favorite bite was the scallop and fried oyster ssam and the soondubu. The pork belly was heavenly and of course the short rib was perfect with the radish kimchi. The tuna bibimbap was genius. I’ll definitely be back.
