5 stars for the food, hands down, but sadly (and it pains me to say this because I hate leaving negative reviews) 0 stars for service 😭 I booked our reservation for tonight, 11/30/24 at 7:30pm, for myself and 4 girlfriends on 10/29/24 (so a month in advance!). We arrived on time and were seated right away. The food was excellent! Everyone loved every single thing we ordered - explosive flavor, beautiful presentation, and well executed. Our cocktails were also wonderful. However, our service left us a bit flabbergasted… Our waiter seemed fine at the beginning of our reservation. We placed our orders and everything came out timely, but we were missing one order of samosas. Our waiter didn’t come by to check on us until about 20 minutes later (they were busy, and it was Friday night, so we didn’t mind too much), and I very nicely let him know we were waiting on one more order of samosas. He curtly told me I didn’t order samosas and that our table only asked for two orders. I replied that I ordered a third order, and he told me he’d get another order put in. Frankly, if there is any form of fried dumpling on a menu, my big booty is ordering it, so I knew I ordered them and was a little taken aback by our server’s response. Later on at 9:15pm — so less than two hours into our reservation — our server approached our table and told us we needed to leave because a large group was waiting for our table and his manager just yelled at him… We were in the process of divvying up our bill and were getting ready to leave, and we were so bamboozled that we were basically getting kicked out of the restaurant when we’d been there less than two hours… especially considering we’d had a reservation that had been reserved a month in advance. We were quite embarrassed and felt extremely unwelcome. We quickly understood why our server never asked if we wanted more drinks — because we obviously weren’t welcome to stay very long. Very strange ending to an otherwise nice meal.

Food was great! Lots of flavor and fresh. It is slightly louder in there but because the tables are closer together this helps with keeping your conversation private. Servers were nice! Definitely would go back!

We arrived at our reservation time where we were seated shortly after. However, the staff appeared to be understaffed because we were not greeted for 15 minutes. The host noticed and asked if we were greeted who took our drink orders and appetizers. The food was great but the service was not the best. The host essentially became our server and was nice.
