    Walked in on a whim as we were debating what type of food to have for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised with the quick service and food turn around at this small yet spacious enough restaurant. To my surprise, they've been in service for approximately 20 years and all my years of walking in this area I've never noticed this restaurant and it was very happy with the outcome. We decided to try one of their different soups, I had the tomato soup and my mom had the lentil soup. Both soups were delicious as well as the papadum and condiments. From the main course, we decided to share a meal which was shrimp and curry sauce, and it was also delicious. We actually placed the order of vegetable Samosa as well as meat Samosa to go. The space is well lit bathroom is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. We plan on returning here every so often when in the area.

    One word...DELICIOUS! I ordered the special - a combo plate of chicken tikka, chickpeas, fritters, rice and oh-so-fluffy naan with a side of raita to cool down all the umami spices. All for $20! This is the real deal. Do yourself a favor and check out Alachi Masala. You'll thank me later.

    Stopped in at Alachi Masala on a Monday night for a solo dinner- it was perfect. The restaurant was warm and inviting, family run with great service. The food was delicious and quite a nice sized platter for the price.

    The food was delicious! The management was very nice, and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area!!

    So good! Just moved to the neighborhood and decided to check this spot out tonight and so glad we did. Everything tasted great and we will definitely be back. We got vegetable samosa, aloo matter gobi, bhindi masala, garlic naan, and he even gave us a rice pudding treat.

    I don't see a bar in any of the pictures or a listing of cocktails on the menu. Do they serve alcohol?

    Absolutely blown away by my experience at Essential by Christophe. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe level of service was nothing short of exceptional warm, precise, and completely effortless. Not a single detail was overlooked. The attention to every meticulous element, from pacing to presentation, created a dining experience that felt truly special. The meal itself was extraordinary. Each course was not only beautifully executed but deeply flavorful and thoughtfully composed. The Mushroom Cappuccino was a perfect start rich, earthy, and comforting with incredible depth. The sweet potato with madeira reduction was a standout, balancing sweetness and richness with elegance. Le Royale was indulgent and refined, while the blue prawns were cooked to perfection delicate and bursting with flavor. Le Tropical brought a bright, refreshing contrast that tied the progression of the meal together beautifully. Even the bread service deserves recognition often overlooked, but here it was exceptional. Paired with the Winter Harvest Highball and the No. 3, the beverage program matched the food in both creativity and execution. What truly elevated the evening was having the pleasure of meeting Chef Christophe and touring the kitchen. He was incredibly down to earth, and his philosophy about food thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in passion clearly shines through in every dish. Every bite was delicious, every detail intentional. This is dining at the highest level refined, memorable, and truly deserving of its Michelin star. I can't wait to return.

The setting is contemporary with a touch of French flair, highlighted by large floral arrangements, and the service was attentive and flawless over the course of our three-hour meal. Two of us chose the 4-course tasting menu and two went for the 7-course, and the kitchen executed both formats seamlessly at the same table. Two diners opted for the wine pairings, while the others enjoyed cocktails and additional glasses of wine, all thoughtfully matched to the dishes. The evening was spectacular from start to finish, with no weak courses. Standouts included the sashimi, frogs' legs, scallops, beef cap, and squab, each beautifully prepared and memorable. With tip, the total came to about $1,800 for four, which we felt was good value for the quality, service, and overall experience. Surprisingly, most guests were dressed business casual, so the atmosphere felt relaxed rather than stuffy.

    Food 4/5 Service 4.5/5…read more Ambiance 4.5/5 Value 2/5 Discovered El Fish through the red dining and had an overall solid experience. It's definitely a more elevated take on Mexican coastal cuisine. Fideo Seco (4.5/5): The highlight of the night. The creaminess paired with the lobster was great. Grilled Octopus (4.25/5): cooked just right and paired with a unique, crispy sweet potato which made it fun to eat. Baked Clams (4/5): Delicious, though $21 for only 5 pieces felt a bit steep. Fajitas Nortenas (4/5): The steak could have been more tender, but the flavor was great--especially when paired with their excellent corn tortillas. Tacos de Langosta (4/5): A solid taco, but not exactly a "must-order." For $28, getting only two tacos felt a bit steep for what it was Skip the Drinks: Both the Watermelon Margarita and Passion Fruit Mojito felt overly strong and lacked a unique flavor profile Save Room for Dessert: Surprisingly impressive! The Chocolate Molten wasn't overly sweet, and the Strawberry Flan featured rhubarb that paired perfectly with the custard. A great spot for a high-end seafood dinner, though the drinks didn't quite live up to the food.
