Worst experience, poor service, waited two hours for our food. They should have been better prepared for a busy Valentine’s Day. I would totally avoid this place!!!!

Food was good, we ate from both Indian and non-Indian menu. Ambience was great. Service was of concern. I am not calling it poor because staff was friendly and they really tried their best. However, their level of knowledge about the menu and training seemed inadequate. Orders were not very accurately brought, service was slow, and even the check was wrong two times. I would still recommend the place and hope that the server training gets better over the next few months

Went for Valentine’s Day. When I booked the reservation it said nothing about a fixed menu. So we assumed we would get the whole menu to choose from. (Other places let you know if a menu is fixed before booking). Service was subpar. Took 30 minutes to get our drinks and appetizers came before our drinks. Food was decent. Then we waited an hour after finished eating our entree waiting for desert (that was apart of the fixed menu). No one came to check in on us. Got to the point where we just said don’t bring it out.
