    A fantastic experience! I made rez strictly on OT reviews not knowing it was an Indigo Road Hospitality Group property of which I am a huge fan. If you are fortunate enough to land Ace N as your server, trust him on your adventure through the menu. His knowledge of flavors, preparation, and pairings were perfection. Bone marrow Tater Tots, charcoaled carrots, Chef Cut CAB, Tiramisu, Super Tuscan, and Nonino all amazing!!!!

    Mela always hits just right! We had varying degrees of spice-tolerance in our group, so our server was able to guide our guests through ordering. We had the chicken korma with tender pieces of chicken and a delicious, rich cashew/peanut sauce; a lamb special with a similar sauce as the korma, but a tad more spice, an eggplant dish, and the chicken vindaloo, which our guests asked to be extra spicy. We all loved our dishes! We loved the vegetable somosas too. Our server was professional and attentive. This restaurant has been in Asheville as long as I have, and it never disappoints!
