Overall - (4.25/5)
Service (1/1) - I don't often start with service in my review but it's worth starting off here for a good reason. The server was very well informed on the dishes and recommendations on the drinks that paired well with my meal. They were very attentive and always ready to assist when we needed anything. They provided a fun time for me and my family. They are one of the main drivers for me giving a high rating for this place. To the owners, your servers are amazing; they definitely need the recognition.
Setting (0.75/1) - overall, the sitting is really inviting. The modern table and chairs help create a very open vibe and showcase the art pieces on the wall. It also allows for the view to the bar and servers so they can come by when we needed them. I couldn't give full points yet as they were missing a proper signage on the outside. We were a bit confused on the location as it's inside Delta Hotel. Once we came closer to the hotel, we saw a banner with the restaurant name. This can be improved further with a permanent signage that can show customers the way to the restaurant from all the way from outside streets as it's really tucked away behind other businesses.
Food (1.5/2) - the food felt fresh apart from just few things. The pani puri was top notch, guava spicy water was the highlight for both me and my wife. Really well spiced and a hint of guava combined well with the alternative mint flavored water. Each shot was taking me back to the streets of India. I would come back just for this combination again. However, after having the spiciest food first meant that I did feel rest of the food was under spiced. Thecha paneer was good. The sauce paired well with the tandoor paneer but it can have more spices for sure. The paneer angara was also again good but felt can have more heat to it. But I still enjoyed it well with the butter naan that is eggless.
Now for the parts that can improve. The spinach artichoke dip didn't feel fresh or authentic. Kids liked it but to me it felt grainy and cold. The fries were normal. Nothing bad about it but nothing great either. Lastly, the avocado chaat is a great concept and I would have enjoyed it more had it not been for it being over seasoned with salt. There was just too much salt there.
Drinks (1/1) - I forgot the name of the drink but it was really awesome. I'd like to try their other mixes for sure next time.
Overall, I enjoyed my meal with my family. Even though it felt weird to think I might be in the wrong place, I would come by here next time. Props to the chef and servers who took care of us really well. read more
