The staff was very nice and my witness was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was good but this is tapas style so you need 3 to 4 plates unless you order a meal sized entrée

Loved everything about this restaurant! Our waiter was wonderful!! I had a Mumbai mule and it was exceptional. My husband had a kingfisher beer. We ordered the Tawa Fish Fry. This was wonderful except tons of bone's. But the flavor was spot on. However, I probably wouldn't order it again just because of all the bones. My husband got tandoori Salmon and I got tandoori shrimp. Both were fantastic!!! We split garlic naan. Yum! It was my husband's first time having Indian food and he was really impressed. For dessert we had the gulab jamun and thought it was delicious. Overall, we loved the food and service and we will definitely be back to try other dishes!

The Valentine's Tasting Menu Dinner was fabulous. Salmon and tuna tartare , followed by shrimp and scallop dumplings, followed by Salmon Wellington and ending with Chocolate cheesecake was absolutely delicious and so well presented. A nice Chardonnay was a great complement. Elements is always a special place to eat and this dinner showed off their expertise. We will be back.
