Had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was our server, Akki. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly without being intrusive. He knew the menu well, made great recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Service like that truly elevates the whole dining experience. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have Akki as our server again.
My waitress was amazing today. I believe her name was Mandana (I’m so sorry if I butchered the spelling) She was so sweet and attentive. The food was so flavorful and I really enjoyed the chicken korma and the garlic naan. We even had the mango lassi which was great. Everything was fresh. The tamarind chutney was very good.
Friendly people and amazing food. Cocktail was a little interesting (presentation wise, but delicious). We got delicious simosas (3), Mango Lasa, chicken masala (good mild spice), Chai Tini (look interesting with tea bag in it), and some delicious Naan Garlic bread (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). Hosted us very well and recommended many foods to our spice tolerance, friendly wattess.
