We really enjoyed the appetizers as well as the chicken curry. Chhole Bhature had top notch North Indian flavors. Breads were also mostly good. Chur chur naan was a bit dry and lassooni daal tadka was a bit lacklustre as it felt like refried beans with a garlic tempering vs a good tadka daal with a strong garlic profile. Chocolate lava cake was very good. Overall food was balanced on flavors and not greasy so that was really nice. Service was very attentive. We would visit again!

The spinach and yogurt chak palat was fried and disappointing. But the chicken tikka masala and lentils were very good. Good cocktails too. I would go back for sure.

The modern decor was eye catching. Right down to the place settings and serving dishes. I normally do not right reviews but it was amazing. The food was so flavorful and filling. We left with leftovers. Even the dishes to take home were nice. We will be back. Our new favorite Indian restaurant for sure!

Food was great. Sauces were so flavorful. We had chicken saag and chicken black pepper mala- can’t remember name-were both delicious. Garlic naan was perfect.

Authenic flavors reminding me of the food I enjoyed on my many trips to India. Along with excellent and attentive service it is an outstanding Franklin St spot.
