  • The food was delicious! We had the lamb biryiani, seasonal saag and dal tadka. Everything was very well seasoned. The ambiance was gorgeous. Lots of local art on display in the restaurant and a beautiful wall mural outside. The service was top tier and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend as a great date night or special occasion event.
