What diners are saying
Diners have mixed but passionate reactions to this spot, with praise centered on the "upscale casual" atmosphere and specific standout dishes like the incredible garlic naan and rich, flavorful chicken tikka masala. While some guests find the flavors catered more toward non-traditional palates and note inconsistency with items like the chicken lollipop, others celebrate the sizzling salmon tandoori and fantastic mango lassi. However, visitors should be mindful of the pricing and potential service lapses, noting that even "mild" dishes can carry a surprising baseline of spice.
