    Food tasted average, service was slow. We were kicked out of our table for sitting too long while we were having dinner just because they had reservations and didn’t have enough tables to accommodate them.

    Chili paneer costing was overcooked. Drinks were good. Dessert saffron cake and kulfi were great! Good portions of food. Waitress very energetic, but noise level high.

    The food was great, service was excellent too. But very irresponsible of the management to not post anything on their website that there will NOT be a Bollywood DJ night on Valentine’s Day when they specify that Friday’s and Saturday’s are DJ nights on their website. That is misleading information! We reserved a late table to experience the Bollywood music only to find out that they won’t do that on Valentine’s Day which was on a Friday! Also, the management needs to better prepare of train their front desk staff who attends calls and makes reservations. She was rude, she didn’t bother to get the entrance area cleaned by someone when I told her that the floor so slippery from all the snow and muck that people bring in. The restaurant needs to be more respectful and responsible to the customers who decide not to cancel their reservation when the weather is so bad.

    Hello Niyati, Apologize for your experience with the host. We will definitely talk to the team about that. The website was updated in January stating that we would not have a Dj through restaurant week and on Valentines day on the music page.
