Surmai fry was the only saving grace . The fish curry lacked the kokum punch and the sukkat ( dried fish ) failed to impress . The Rice Bakri was made well . But the combination with the fish curry was blah. Gulab Jamun was soft with mellow sweetness. Maybe their Maharashtrian lighter fare may be worthy of an another try . Will post an update if we tried it again .

We got both medium spicy but the chicken definitely had a kick where the paneer did not. They were both delicious though. It was my dad's birthday and we ordered two desserts and they were kind enough to bring us a third one with a candle in it for him. One thing I didn't like was the ras malai tres leches dessert, I've had a similar dessert to this at many different places and this one had a lot of different fruits mixed into it (grapes, apples) and that wasn't mentioned on the menu description. I would suggest some more clarity on the menu with descriptions of items. But overall, great food!

The ambiance is beautiful, quaint, cozy, and really inviting. The staff were very kind and welcoming, though service was a bit inconsistent (we had to ask a few times for water and cutlery). My only real disappointment was the portion size of the chicken. The serving was quite small, about four small pieces, which felt a bit unreasonable given how incredible the dish tasted. It's honestly a shame, because the flavor is to die for. Overall, amazing food and a lovely space--just hoping for more generous portions next time.

First of all I…read morewant to say I think it's so nice of them to have vegetarian options, Jain options, and nonveg options on their menu. It definitely is a vast selection, but maybe we picked the wrong things. We had the following: Manchow soup with veg - good! Chicken 65 - lots of food coloring, so unhealthy, but dish was yummy Chili Lotus - lots of food coloring, but dish was yummy TM's Chicken Curry - coconut milk base dish, might be fine for someone else but tasted bland to me Lamb Biryani - I'm used to South Indian Hyderbadi Dum Biryani, so this biryani was not it for me. It has a tomato gravy type taste, and the lamb pieces were abundant and soft. It wasn't bad, but just not to my personal taste and anyone who's wishing to have something like a spicy Hyderbadi Dum Biryani, I would not recommend. Garlic naan- amazing Mango lassi - I've had better and would not recommend here. It was really thick and a little tasteless. They are a fusion restaurant, so I'm thinking maybe they made all the food taste a little blander to accommodate to everyone, but for anyone trying to get authentic spicy Indian food, I would not recommend. The vibe here is so nice though for a date or friends or gathering, plenty of space. The waiters and owners are extremely nice and attentive and polite.

We started with the palak chaat and it was incredible--the perfect mix of crunch and tang that you want in a great starter. For the main course, the Kadhi chicken was the absolute standout. The chicken was so tender and the sauce was rich, velvety, and layered with spices. 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!
