    Had dinner here as part of a private event (we had half of the restaurant to ourselves). The space…read moreis fairly large albeit loud with a bar and pool table. The service was not great as it took over an hour for the food to come out (we only had the space for 3hrs) and they didn't even get to bring dessert out because we ran out of time. However, the food I did try (placed on the bar, buffet style) was pretty great, especially the tikka roll-up ie the paneer taco. The roti was perfectly flaky and the paneer with onion was the perfect combo. I had 4 just by myself and they are a decent size. The shrimp manchurian was also very tasty and had a nice kick to it. I also enjoyed the samosa chaat and pani puri. I am not the biggest fan of hakka noodles, but these did have a nice spice to them. The chicken and paneer tikka masala were solid, but I wanted the curry to be a bit thicker/creamier.

    I have been here several times now and as much as I want to like it, I just have not enjoyed myself…read morehere. I get that I'm older, and probably not the clientele they are looking for, but they have never ever been attentive, even when like yesterday I was the only one sitting at the bar. They genuinely make me feel like they don't want me on there and am more of a nuisance to them. Fooswise, I have can't really say anything great about it. It's pretty basic, you can get better Indian food from so many other places in the metro area. I was hoping that their menu might be more adventurous and interesting but it was pretty run of the mill. It's not bad food by any means, but it's not going to impress you either. As far as their cocktail menu goes, I don't think they have a true cocktail lead, the drinks range from basic and uninspired to kind of gross. Being from Kerala I was interested in the Kerala Mule, and boy did I regret it. Either they don't like South Indians and purposely made it terrible or they need to taste their drinks before putting it on the menu. The more standard drinks were very well made. Aesthetically this is a beautiful spot. They really brought the colors and the design. The DJ stand being an old Indian motorcycle is a great touch. The pool table in the center of the restaurant is lovely as is the colorful umbrellas that adorn the ceiling. Visually an eye catching spectacle that really heightens the experience. At night this turns into more of a club feel, the dark lighting and the DJ can make it a fun night out. Bonus point for having an old Aishwarya Rai movie on the big screen. So while I might not specifically come for the food, I would come and have a more classic cocktail or beer and either start or end my night here, assuming I wasn't ignored the whole time.
