    Really, really happy with the venue, the service and above all the food and drink. The vodka flavoured with caraway and dill was delicious. The portions are large so unless you are very hungry (and I mean very hungry) I would suggest sharing a starter and having the main course. The four of us shared marinated herrings and a a stuffed perogi with cheese and potato, and then we tucked into what is heaven - chicken livers. Fabulous We also had a bottle of Georgian red wine to wash it down, terrific. No room for dessert. The service is so friendly including the person taking our coats as soon as we got through the door, and then the waitresses who noticed that my wife's purse / bag had slipped off the back of the chair and could have been stepped on, or worse. You have to book, though.

    The service is as great as the food is. Kind, refined, unobstrusive care for the customers, and an amazing menu of fine indian food from many regions, with the occasional twist of west meets east in the dishes. A wonderful find.

    Great dinner experience. Food and service was fantastic. Would definitely eat dinner there again. What I did not enjoy was breakfast the next day. When we walked in for the included breakfast we had the host approach us in front of everyone and tell us we had to pay for breakfast. She kept pointing to 2 menus she was holding and not listening. Tried to explain we were told we had to pay if we wanted the English breakfast but the buffet was included. When we told the host this she did not want to hear it and proceeded to say we had to pay. We finally were able to sit down after a lengthy conversation where everyone was now staring at us. I then watched 3 more parties arrive after us and she did not put them through that process. I’m not sure why she felt the need to embarrass us like she did but it truly tainted our experience after having the best dinner and service the night before.
