Food and staff were amazing. Would thoroughly recommend if u like Indian food. Even though we chose to eat outside which must have been a nuisance nothing was any trouble for them. Very obliging people. Thankyou

The food here is authentic Indian food and one of the best indian food i have had outside of India. for the Indians reading this, the dal makhani is comparable to the bukhara dal. the chilly cheese naan is for folks who love their rotis...spicy. the server is from Agra with the sweetest smile and great with suggestions…name is Rahul…naam to suna hoga 🤔😂More

He followed up with us multiple times during our dine and provided us with everything we asked for!...Great place to dine with your loud ones!

5 out of 5. Excellent customer service and great hospitality. We didn’t book today, however the manager kindly assured us to come back after 30min to give us a booking. Great food, great staff. Especially I want to thank my friend Raiiul for his superb...customer service. He kindly suggested great combination of food and drink. I’ll definitely come back again. Thank you teamMore

This is not your typical Indian Restaurant. The dishes are done in a very modern way and are so delicious and substantial. Service was very attentive. Very busy place. You will need to book in advance.

The food is a above average for an Indian restaurant it's just the service that was a bit slow and at times rude. We had the virgin mojito and another gin and tonic cocktail. The mojito was fresh but the cocktail was average. For entree...we had the shahi kumbh which is mushrooms filled with cheese and deep fried. Mains we had a the dal tadka which is a speciality and the mirch salan ( which is stuffed pickles). Have to say between the 2 the dal was really good but the other main was average. Overall decent vegetarian foodMore

3 of us had dinner here and thought it was excellent - probably the best Indian food we have tried. All the dishes were beautifully presented too, rather than just 'plonked on a plate' and the menu had lots of interesting dishes. My favourite was...the Stuffed Mushrooms we had as a starter.More

One of our best meals and best Indian food we’ve had both in NZ and in the states (where we’re from). We made the mistake of not making reservations and the earliest they could seat us was 9pm (we stopped in around 7:50p). We ordered...their house specialty nilgiri murg and our always favorite murg tikka (butter chicken) and traditional naan. All were OUTSTANDING! The rice was wonderful as was the side sauce. If not for the great food, we’d probably not consider returning, it took exactly one hour for our food to arrive and noticed 4 other tables to be served in an hour as well (one family was there when we first inquired about seating and was just getting served when we arrived back at 9pm, our neighboring table was served appetizers when we sat down and their dinner arrived 1/2 hr later, and another couple that arrived 15 min. after we arrived was served at exactly 10:15pm. I would go for the food but be sure to make reservations and be prepared for a “leisurely” dinner. They also forgot to bring my husband’s beer and when he told them he didn’t want it any more, they brought it out anyway “on the house” which was a nice gesture, but would have been nice sipping on while waiting for dinner,More
