I've always felt that Indian food is particularly difficult to do as fusion. The flavors are so complex and deeply rooted in tradition that it's easy to lose what makes the cuisine special. But the chef here has managed to bring a fresh, creative approach without losing the essence of Indian food. What surprised me most was learning that the food could be prepared without added oil or sugar. I honestly didn't think that was possible while still getting such rich flavors! And the desserts were equally surprising. No added sugar, yet absolutely delicious. The service was excellent too. We had the opportunity to interact with the chef, and what really stood out was his passion for food. He clearly loves what he does, and that enthusiasm comes through in the dishes. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that's trying something different and actually pulling it off so well. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be going back!

It is a nicely decorated restaurant in the downtown area about a 5 minute walk from the theater. We started with the vegetable Samosa. It was nicely fried and had a great taste. It was served with tamarind sauce and a mint chutney. We also ordered the garlic pepper crab masala dry. An excellent appetizer with soft shell crab. It was slightly spicy . We really enjoyed the dish. We shared the chicken tikka masala for a main dish. The masala sauce was great as was the chicken. This dish is one of our go tours when trying a new Indian restaurant. We also had an order of the butter naan. We decided to have the Gullab Jamun for dessert. Also a good choice. Well worth trying if you are in Red Bank.

I will say that the prices are on the higher side, but the portions are massive and the quality is top-tier, so it feels like a fair trade-off. You definitely get your money's worth here and will likely have plenty of leftovers. The atmosphere is great and the service was spot on. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
