Absolutely amazing! One of our favorite restaurants in downtown. Home cooked Indian food, love the classics, and the modern twists, such as the Tika Poutine. Friendly service, and lovely interiors. Great local vibe....

Wonderful traditional Indian dishes as well as inventive Indian ones. Sebastian, our server, was extremely knowledgeable with the menu. He helped with wine choices and he and his team made us feel as though we were their only table.

The food is so delicious, the waiters are attentive, but it’s just so warm in the restaurant and they play the music too loudly.

The aroma hit us about a block away, and we knew we were in for a treat. Everything we had popped with flavor without falling out of balance. My daughter had the butter chicken, and while it was totally competent, I’d suggest venturing to the more unique. I had the Fish Moile, a light and flavorful barramundi half-submerged in the most vibrant sauce I’ve ever had in an Indian restaurant. It took my breath away. Atmosphere was lively and a bit loud, but totally enjoyable.
