I wanted to eat everything on the menu, it looked so delicious! I have had the Greens cookbook for years but never was able to make it to the restaurant until now. I am so glad I did!! We had a wonderful time, and we were treated so well from the moment we walked in through the end of the meal.

Best Indian food we have ever eaten, hands down. My hubby is a food snob, hyper critical, never satusfied. Well, we went for dinner ( reservations made , thankfully) and had to go back for lunch! The tandori foods were fabulous, lamb , salmon, chicken, and shrimp. Loved the mango chutney, cashew naan (wow) , portabello mushroom appetizer (amazing), brown rice ( spiced with clove and cinnamon) , cardamom ice cream ( so unique) and the wonderfully patient and kind staff ( Nepalese servers and Indian chefs). Everything was off the charts! We were the last to leave both times so of course we had to leave a 100% tip! We will become regulars whenever in town! Job well done, Ajanta!

The Star is a comfortable, casual restaurant focusing on good service and friendly staff. We had a good time, neither of my friends had been there before so they really enjoyed the salad and pizza we shared.
