    We went for lunch to avoid the busy crowds and I will say that our server Mary was phenomenal. She was not only our waitress and the only waitress we saw working during a Saturday lunch time shift but she was also the bartender. My wife and I went their for our monthly date and mostly because I am a fan of Maneet Chauhan, the Dancing Spice Queen and 2 times TOC Champion but it was Mary and the kitchen that made our day memorable. We will be back!

    The food was amazing, the poutine tandoori fries were absolutely the best. Mahneet was there and visited with each table and was incredibly nice. I would absolutely eat there again!

    I had a business associate in from India; he had no idea who Maneet was but thought the food was outstanding. Maneet personally came to our table to welcome us and take a picture. Service was excellent and prices extremely reasonable.

    Our waiter, Clay, welcomed us and readily answered our questions and made suggestions based on our preferences. We loved the Gul Gupa Shots. Different from anything we'd ever had and probably wouldn't have tried them if not for Clay's suggestion. The booths are comfortable. Had our picture taken with Maneet's championship belt. Wish we lived closer, we'd be back each week!

    Was searching for an Indian fusion spot in Nashville with good veggie options. I had the whipped paneer with crispy chickpea puffs and delicious lime on pillowy naan. The flavors are amazing together. I had never tried moilee and I was blown away. I wish I had room for dessert.

    Our server, Pratik, took great care of us on our first visit. He described the dishes and helped us choose what to order. He was knowledgable, attentive and made it a great experience.
