    Overall it was a good experience. I would recommend trying their aloo chat and paneer makhani but defiantly pass cauliflower 65 as starters (it was just fried with no flovor/)

    Great food and variety. On the spicy side (make sure that works for all members of your party). Would definitely return.

    Final check included 20% gratuity. Server did not mention this. The final receipt had a section where we could add 20%-25% gratuity…on top of the 20% gratuity already included. We confronted the owner about it and he shirked it off as a ‘technical error’. I wonder how many people are paying 40% tip who dine here and don’t look closely at the bill.

    Food was excellent! Service was very poor. Our server was not very friendly, waited 10-15 to get our drinks, she failed to tell us that rice and naan bread was not included with our meal and an additional charge. We were seated next to a group of 4 ladies, one of them was talking extremely and unnecessarily loud, it was really annoying so we moved literally 2 feet away to another 2 top. Our server was upset about it and gave us attitude saying we had to leave at 7:15 because another reservation needed it. It wasn’t even that busy and there was no reason the other reservation couldn’t have sat at the table we were at which was another 2 top 2 feet away… After that, the server was just rude to us. She took 20 minutes to notice we were done with our food and needed boxes and the check. I would come back, but ONLY for the food. I serve as well so I know what good service looks like and this was not it.
