   We arrived at the restaurant at the time of our reservation, hostess took us to a table that seemed a bit cramped in between two tables. We asked if we could sit somewhere else, we were asked if we could wait at the bar while they cleaned the table for us. While we waited at the bar, the bartender made our drinks and then we were taken to our table by the owner of the restaurant! Even though they were short staffed and suddenly full restaurant, they managed to serve our food in a timely manner. The food was delicious and beautiful, it was the best Indian food I’ve ever had in Los Angeles! Thank you for bringing this amazing food to Los Angeles!

   Charged Opentable reservation cancellation fee on my card eventhough we dined at the restaurant. Additionally, the restaurant has not credited the reward points it offers on it program through toast eventhough the credit card used is attached to the profile and multiple follow up with the restaurant and owner. Everytime I followed up, I was told that they would fix this and call me back but never received a call back nor was the issue addressed. I spoke with the owner as well but the result is no different.

   Overall a very poor experience in terms of service . Staff was very poorly organized. They clearly forgot about my wine order. 30 minutes after when I asked where it was said “we’re working on it.” Then came up to us and said whoops we don’t have that wine today. 0 apologies. The ambiance is nice, decore is pretty. Food is also good but the service just REALLY needs to be worked on.

   The food was delicious, but the service was horrible. We had reservations for 9 pm, and we had to wait 45 min after we arrived. Once we were at our table, it took another 30 min to get service. We didn't finish our meals due to the lack of service

   The service was horrible. The food was good if you received it in time. My husband's meal did not show up until after we all had eaten and that was only because I complained. Overpriced for what we got on the special Valentine's Day courses. Will not go back

   The restaurant is very clean and the service is great. They use OpenTable, they take card, and you can pay the bill with a QR code which is super convenient. I went for Dine LA and had the following: -Pesto Paneer: mild in flavor, the texture and density of the paneer was slightly firmer which I prefer; the peppers and onion added great flavor to the pesto. -Cali Sticky Ribs: the sauce isn’t too sweet and the spice level is also mild; the meat was very tender and came right off the bone. -Chicken Vindaloo: the chicken was moist, the curry was very flavorful with a medium level of spice. -Vanilla Panna Cotta: a cute little gelatinous/custard treat in a decorative mold shape with a berry sauce that wasn’t too sweet and a few strawberry pieces; a perfect smaller portion after a heavier meal.

    We were delighted to find that this Michelin restaurant from Long Beach was opening near Little Tokyo in DTLA. The food was inventive and delicious as well as beautifully presented. Service was perfect! We’ll be back!
