Our family had a reservation at GIA, but at the last minute, our two younger teens decided to join us. Even though the restaurant was fully booked, the management/owner went out of their way to accommodate the change. Their effort allowed us to all dine together, turning the evening into a truly special family get-together. On top of being together, the food was absolutely incredible—it added so much to the experience! Thank you, GIA, for going above and beyond to make it a memorable family night. We’re so grateful for your kindness and hospitality!

Great food, service and Ambience! The tuna tartare Pani Puri, Oyster chaat were outstanding. The squash and smoked Paneer salad packed a delicious flavor followed by the showstopper Ghee roast duck leg. All this can be perfectly polished off with the Garlic Roomali roti. The only thing we missed was more hint of spice and heat from peppers, chillies, but the modern take on Indian food was just delicious.

Wonderful staff and great food. It was a busy time of the year (during holidays) when I dined there, service was fantastic. A bit crowded for my linking and noise level was high.
