If I could give it 20 stars, I would. I’m Indian and this easily rivals the food in India. Obsessed. Also, can’t believe it wasn’t crazy expensive.

Super impressive resturant. Great food and service. The ambience was a bit underwhelming for a Michelin Star resturant though.

A wonderful meal, as always. Was glad to take advantage of OC Restaurant Week. LOVE LOVE LOVE their butter chicken and spinach paneer. I was disappointed only in that it looks like their golden tea is not on the menu anymore.

Food was delicious. Service was slow. Overall I was very happy with my meal. The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the tiny sized serving of the chai tea. Chai tea was served in a tiny 3-4 oz cup.
