   Our anniversary celebration was exceptional! We visited with our family. Cedric, our server was excellent with suggestions for drinks and food. We enjoyed every dish that we had as well as the drinks. The different take on the traditional dishes without changing their essence was very refreshing to us as Indians. I do think it's a bit pricey for food that we as Indians can make at home, but overall, I recommend the restaurant highly especially for special occasions and celebrations. The ambience and the service along with the food presentation make it a great experience.

   Normally, if I order a tasting menu at a restaurant, I feel like I have seen all the restaurant has to offer, at least for that season. It is satisfying, but I am not looking to go back next week because I have seen it all. Yet, our tasting menu experience only made us want to go back and explore more of the regular menu. I kept looking at other tables in awe of their dishes, too. And well, who could pass on butter chicken. So dinner was perfect, and there is still much to be explored.

   Sarah was FANTASTIC! Highly recommend requesting her as your server. She is highly knowledgeable about the cuisine, culture, and history. Her stories make the food/overall experience!

   Musaafer is a whole experience. It celebrates dining and the food in the best way. The ambiance and decor is beautiful and gives a energetic and cultural vibe. The service is top notch, each staff we were in contact with was professional and courteous. One thing that stood out is the way they explained the menu and food. The most impressive of all was the presentation, the taste and quality of the food. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience at Musaafer. Well done in many ways. Congratulations to them on their Michelin star, it is well deserved!

   The cuisine prepared by arguably the best chef’s in the world as well as #2 & #8 chocolatier on the planet far exceed my expectations. Flavorful!! Atmosphere and ambiance was fit for a king. Our waiters knowledge of the food’s culture was incredible.

    We dined at the 9:30 pm seating on New Year's Eve. This was supposed to be a chef's special menu. We had high expectations for this. First the good parts: Ambience was very nice. Service was very nice. Entertainment was nice. Now the not-so-good parts: The Food, unfortunately. We were expecting very nice food for this special occasion. We also were celebrating our anniversary which we communicated to the restaurant while making the reservation a week in advance. The food taste/quality were the letdown for this recently michelin awarded place. The offerings started off fine with the first, second course, etc. The drinks were good. However, the Chicken 65 dish was served with hardly any chicken, but was full of hard deep fried batter pieces only. We did inform the server Tejas about it. The main course of the lamb chops was the biggest letdown. Not sure if the chef or anyone else actually tasted this dish. The sauce was full of oil and masalas which tasted the worst sauce we have ever had. The lamb chops themselves tasted like these were cooked couple of days ago. Very disappointing. The Naan was cold and stretchy and we could barely take a couple of bites. The Dal was fine but the service was only a couple of spoons. The dessert (sandesh) was also not up to this special evening. The chai was moderately warm. Overall, the food left us very disappointed for this $300/person (including one non-alcoholic drink, tax and tips). For our anniversary celebration we were given a congratulatory card.
