   We loved the food, but we couldn’t wait to leave, which it is a shame since I raved to my family about it. We sat in the back, our table was to sit 6 people, so our party of 4 were to far apart and with the noise level between the music and people talking loudly it was uncomfortable. We went to celebrate my husband birthday, but all we did was to eat our delicious dinner and communicate with facial expressions a few words exchange, and at one point we started text messaging each other, my son order the food since we couldn’t hear very well. I usually don’t complain about a slow service because usually we are having fun, but last night it was slow and we felt it to the point that we didn’t order dessert. I had been twice before one for a happy hour, and second time we sat outside, we had a great time. Go for the food it is an amazing experience.

   I really HATE to be THAT guy, but I have to be honest with this review. The food here is wonderful and absolutely justifies the hype, however, as great as the Tasting Menu was, the pacing we had was pretty terrible. We ate here for a beautiful birthday dinner to give the tasting menu a try. It took over 30 mins of us sitting before we could order the menu or even drinks. I think we got passed from one waiter to another, which is unfortunate, but whatever it happens. Once the Tasting begins the first few dishes came out at a pretty perfect pace. Food came out, we could take a picture if we wanted to, take our time with the dish, discuss it, then the next one would come out shortly after. Once we got to the ceviche (both of which were amazing) it started to take over 15 minutes for us to get our next dishes. Not only were we going long periods between dishes, but our waitress did not come check on us for more drinks during those long periods. It honestly seemed like she was figuring out what was taking so long. One of the dishes took so long I decided to go to the bathroom and instead of waiting for me to return to present the dish, it was being presented while I was walking up and the dish was not further reiterated to me after I sat. There was another dish that came out so close to the dish prior that we had multiple dishes on the table and hadn’t even taken a bite of the first one. Honestly I just thought it was a new experience for the restaurant and wasn’t too annoyed until I saw the patrons next to our table only 2 dishes behind us on the Tasting Menu when they placed their order OVER AN HOUR after we started ours. I wouldn’t have expected such a lackluster pacing from a Tasting Menu of a Michelin Star restaurant, but that’s unfortunately what we got… on a birthday dinner no less. The food was perfectly crafted and truly challenged our perception of dishes and sent our tastebuds on a journey. It’s too bad that journey was filled with such long periods of nothing

   Delightful setting, spacious yet intimate. Excellent presentation. Some dishes were delicious (Baked oysters, Onion rings pakoda, Dal) others (Nihari, Lamb chops) were lukewarm and rather disappointing. Service was fantastic.

   The service was terrible. The server has no business in fine dining, as he was oblivious to our table’s needs. The server ruined what otherwise would have been an amazing experience, as the food was exceptional. I didn’t see management anywhere on the floor. Musaafer will need to drastically improve their service before I will return.

   Outstanding ambiance, food presentation, service and experience. The menu is highly creative while maintaining its roots in Indian flavors. Food was great, only watch out the lamb chops in the appetizer (most popular) was overcooked, but the spices and flavor super tasty. Worthy of Michelin star!

   Waiter today was awful. Forgot order, insisted in dishes we didn't want, talked too much, brought bill with wrong items. He seemed really new to the business. If they didn't charge tip as default, it would be really low. Didn't deserve. Food was great, as always. Masala Papad is great and beautiful.
