It was a really good experience overall!! The service was pleasant and thoughtful, we didn’t feel rushed. I’m always weary about fusion Indian food but they got it right. Everything we ordered was delicious. And we had mentioned on the reservation that it was our anniversary and they surprised us with a dessert with a candle, I was happy they made note of that. Kudos to the restaurant!! We will definitely recommend to all our friends and be back again…

This was our second visit to the restaurant. It is great to finally have a restaurant in the bay area, where the chef understands the authenticity of the Indian food yet put modern touch on the flavors and preparation. Every dish we tried from the dahi kebab to paneer Tikka, Fig and walnut kofta was amazing. Also, this restaurant's service is really good as they don't try to rush you out, but understand the vibe of what's happening on the table and allow conversations among guests to occur and have them savor the food. Kudos to the chef and the service staff we will surely return again.
