    Adorable little place with whimsical British artifacts from India, we overlooked the imperial aspects to just enjoy a step back in time. Biryani was interesting with a baked breading sealed in all the flavors, yum, and the vindaloo excellent too. Crunchy cauliflower was a bit too much deep fried coating but also very tasty and nice contrast in textures. Will be back to check out more of the menu.

    The garlic naan, short ribs, and kebabs were all amazing. The service was friendly and very attentive. Would definitely come back again.

    It was a good experience overall, the food was really good and the staff was friendly even it is a small restaurant felt very comfy. They should improve their service in terms of attention. Specially for busy nights like December. There wasn’t a specific server for each table even we had to call someone to take our order. Not a big deal but we attention is everything. I definitely come back.

    I took my husband out for his birthday and we had a fabulous time with delicious food. The food was outstanding. The only thing I had trouble with, was I asked this waitress to change out my order to a prefix menu, but keeping the same food that I ordered and she denied me. She said she could not change it in the machine. I wasn’t ordering anything out of the box. It would only benefit the restaurant. There was no reason for her to say no. Other than that, the food was outstanding.  .
