   The food of amazing. Must visit place. Chicken 65 and Apollo fish is must try. For main course please try their Spicy crab naan with any gravy of your choice. We tried the chicken karahi which was good. For deserts death chocolate with vanilla ice cream is a must try. Overall my rating is 8/10. Also you don't need to worry about parking as there is ample of paid parking around.

   Stopped by for dinner as a family of four. Wouldn’t call it a high end restaurant by any means. Not sure why so many rating from others but this is what drew our attention. All dishes were too spicy for kids to enjoy.

   We were seated near the door. Since there was no double doors there was a cold draft every time someone came in. The food was average except the onion kulcha which was great. Chicken could have marinated for more time. The Chicken Chettinad did not have the tangy spice taste that makes this dish so popular. Overall I would rate this restaurant as run of the mill Indian.

   Solid Indian cuisine in a nice casual setting. Great Old Fashion cocktail with an Indian flare. Bar service was slow and we were not offered additional drinks but it was a very busy weekend crowd so that could have been the issue. Recommend for great Indian food at a very reasonable price.

   Everything was good. It was very busy and the service was slow for that reason, but the food and cocktails made up for that.

   This is the third time I’ve eaten here and it’s memorable every time. I love that everything gluten free is marked on the menu. I had the onion pakora and the shrimp malai kebab. Both were packed with flavor. I took leftovers with me and ate them less than 2 hours later. Highly recommend this establishment!

   Fresh, vibrant and delectably delicious dishes. We had the original innovative Kale Chaat - was awesome! As were the more classic dishes. Fresh tandoori naans to compliment - yes!

    Had a low key dinner with friends- our food was well prepared, the portions were ample, and the staff friendly. Recommend!
