If I could give it 20 stars, I would. I’m Indian and this easily rivals the food in India. Obsessed. Also, can’t believe it wasn’t crazy expensive.

Super impressive resturant. Great food and service. The ambience was a bit underwhelming for a Michelin Star resturant though.

A wonderful meal, as always. Was glad to take advantage of OC Restaurant Week. LOVE LOVE LOVE their butter chicken and spinach paneer. I was disappointed only in that it looks like their golden tea is not on the menu anymore.

Food was delicious. Service was slow. Overall I was very happy with my meal. The only thing I wasn’t happy about was the tiny sized serving of the chai tea. Chai tea was served in a tiny 3-4 oz cup.

Best experience ever! The pani puri was the perfect bite and smoked Negroni presentation so much fun! Biryani and butter chicken were finger licking good, and the lamb karahi just hit the spot- soooo good!! Beautiful ambiance and friendly service- definitely coming back!
