Updated Review - The defensiveness about the owner response says everything. No such conversation…read moretook place about the very friendly nut facility. That is false. At no point were we told that your restaurant could not safely accommodate her allergy, nor were we advised that we should not dine there because of the risk. We certainly were not presented with the conversation you are now describing as though we knowingly disregarded a clear warning and chose to proceed anyway. Had we been told that our daughter's allergy could not be safely accommodated, we would have left. Her safety is obviously more important than having dinner at any restaurant. What is especially troubling is that, despite notifying your staff of her peanut allergy, our daughter experienced an allergic reaction while dining at your establishment. That was the reason I had to leave abruptly. Trying to redirect the focus onto the fact that your kitchen uses third-party products or has a risk of cross-contamination does not change the fact that your staff was informed of her allergy before she was served. Regarding the service, reviewing timestamps on security footage does not capture the attentiveness, communication, delays, or overall quality of service at our table. And regarding the bill: I never stated that an employee walked up to me and verbally accused us of not paying. My concern was the manner in which my husband was treated after I suddenly had to leave with our daughter because she was having an allergic reaction. I had no reason to fabricate the negative portions of our experience. I would have much preferred for your response to simply acknowledge that a child with a disclosed peanut allergy experienced a reaction in your restaurant. Instead, your response appears focused on disputing our experience and placing responsibility back on us. That is disappointing and, frankly, reinforces my concerns about how this situation was handled. Previous Review: The food was delicious and beautifully presented, which unfortunately made the rest of our experience even more disappointing. Service throughout the meal was quite slow, but the most concerning issue occurred after our daughter experienced an allergic reaction. We had specifically informed our waiter that she has a peanut allergy, so having her develop a reaction during the meal was extremely alarming. Because of the situation, I had to leave the restaurant urgently with our daughter while my husband remained behind. What was particularly upsetting was the way the staff behaved afterward, seemingly concerned that we were attempting to leave without paying the bill. In the middle of dealing with our child having an allergic reaction, being treated as though we might skip out on the bill was incredibly upsetting, unprofessional, and frankly disturbing. Of course the bill was going to be paid. Our immediate priority in that moment was making sure our daughter was safe. While the food itself was excellent, restaurants have a responsibility to take food allergies seriously and to respond with professionalism and compassion when a medical situation occurs. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled overshadowed what otherwise could have been a very enjoyable dining experience.

I believe it took the location from a brewery restaurant. Pretty large restaurant, nice and modern, with comfortable seating. My daughter's boyfriend was with us, so we shared some appetizers before the entrees. The wait staff was excellent, friendly and professional, and ready with recommendations. The crispy cauliflower and sweet potato small plates were nice appetizers. I enjoyed dal bukhara for the main course, a very tasty black lentil dish that went well with the basmati rice. My daughter enjoyed the butter chicken and her boyfriend liked his chicken kebabs. Naan and garlic naan were both excellent in the sauces.

That's rather generous in a time where most other restaurants are busy charging you credit card fees! Online ordering now has convenient options for indicating your spice level (mild, medium, spicy). Don't be too scared by "spicy" if you like spicy food. I get my lamb bhuna at full spicy level and it's very tolerable. Nothing like you'd have somewhere outside of America (eg. London, Ireland). Lamb Bhuna, chana masala, chicken Tikka masala are standards for me to order. Sometimes saag, sometimes tandoori. It's all generally good here, though the tandoori is occasionally dry (reheated food perhaps?). Thanks for the coupons, being super friendly and cooking tasty food!

Beautiful music was playing at the perfect volume. We ordered the vegetable pakor as an appetizer, and shared the beef vindaloo medium spice and saag paneer high spice. The paneer was mild in flavor and less spicy than the vindaloo unless you ate a bite of green pepper. This is my first time ordering beef vindaloo instead of lamb so it was nice to taste the flavors that usually are overpowered by lamb. The food came with a big bowl of basmati rice and we ordered garlic and rosemary garlic naan. The rosemary was delicious on its own but I couldn't really taste it when eaten with the vindaloo. Finally, I got a masala chai and it was so delicious, and the gulab jamoon for dessert. I couldn't taste any rose flavor, but it tasted a little different than other gulab jamoons that I've had in the past. Still delicious!

I should have said something at the time. It is false advertising. I also emailed them and I never received a response (yes, I know I can call as well). They have never responded. The people that worked there are kind. They had a good mix of all different foods as well. Honestly, for me, who LOVES Indian food...thought it was not good at all :(. Usually I want to dip my naan in all the sauces and I didn't. If you never had Indian food or tried different places, you might think it was good. The whole table agreed. The food was not warm enough (we got there half hour after they opened) and it just tasted 'off'. I was so looking forward to this and chose between 3 places. I made the wrong choice.

I'll start off by saying that the food is excellent. If that is all you are looking for then this…read moreplace is fine. I'm sure the take out is great. Now on to the criticism... the service is not that great, we were seated and given menus, but we had to get our own utensils. This is not really a full service type of establishment, you pay at the register. They could use more efficient expediting, and then things would feel more welcoming. The second thing I was disappointed with, was one of the reasons we came here was for the Masala Dosa. They started off by saying no Dosa and no Biriyani available. We saw a couple walk out because there was no Dosa. We improvised our order to things we weren't too excited about ordering, but both the beef curry and the butter chicken were tasty. The next thing that will prevent us from coming here for dine- in, in the future is the horrible smell in the bathroom and the temperature of the restaurant. We wanted to wash up before our meal, but the smell in the bathroom was gross. It looked clean, but there was definitely an odor. It was 42 F outside and the air conditioning was blasting cold air. I asked twice to shut it off because my kids were freezing and I was cold too, but it looked like all they were able to do was raise the temperature on the unit which helped only minimally. Really good food, but I think they will need to find a way to address some of the other issues
