Beautiful restaurant on California Avenue with great Indian food. Service was also very good. Restaurant is fairly quiet and well decorated. A really nice experience especially compared to Zareen which I would rate much lower.

Since it’s a small restaurant, I don’t know if it’s always loud but the party seated next to us were obnoxiously loud. Otherwise, the service was excellent and the food was fine.
