What a wonderful overall experience. Our waitress was top notch, and added that it was Xmas Eve right before they closed- she was awesome. I never felt rushed. The food was phenomenal. Only downer is my lamb first came out overcooked but they made me a new one and it was perfectly done. The filet was one of the best my partner ever had. Only downer is the manager didn't come to us to apologize for the overcooked lamb as most places- he did seem out of it and just not very customer friendly/chatty. Wine flights awesome. Meatballs good, truffle risotto top notch. The tiny desserts were a perfect ending to the night. Very happy with this Xmas Eve dinner experience.

Upscale modern Indian cuisine that stays true to tradition. Price is on the higher end but it’s well worth it — both in terms of food quality, taste, and attentiveness and friendliness of staff — we were taken care of by Mickey and Neha. Definitely worth a visit, and fit for a special occasion.
