First time to this restaurant and I've been hearing a lot about it and I see why, Sara and Mike were great! I was on a first date and they made our date night even better. Service was professional and friendly all the way from the host stand to the table and the food was outstanding. This company knows what they're doing, will be back for sure

An amazing experience from start to finish. Our server explained all the menu items and recommended some based on our preferences. The food itself was exceptional. The service was like a choreographed symphony. The decor is all imported from India, and stunning, especially the front room. And the drinks! Every one an experience.

I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience. The food was exceptional—starting with the onion tart, which had a delightful sweetness from the glaze and was truly outstanding. For my entrée, I chose the lemon pepper linguine, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced and unforgettable. The evening was made even more special as I was celebrating my good friend’s 60th birthday. The setting and ambiance were perfect, creating a truly memorable experience!
