    We went for Valentine’s Day dinner. Tables were booked for hour and fifteen minutes. People were waiting in the hallway and entry space for their table which caused too much confusion and congestion. The mood was totally ruined. Food was barely warm and not the best. We’ve eaten here several times and had a wonderful meals and experience but it was clear the purpose of the evening was to turnover tables as quickly as possible. Ownership sacrificed ambience and a quality. Too bad! Hope they don’t do this again.

    Everything from the food, to the service, to the ambiance, and to the vibe was amazing! My boyfriend and I started with the crispy cauliflower and the samosa sampler - both DELICIOUS! And both ordered the Hibiscus Hibiscus drink - which was beautiful and also very tasty. For the main entrees I had the butter chicken (you can't go wrong) and he had the lamb korma. Both dishes were incredible. The service was 10 out of 10. Our waiter was amazing and checked up on us throughout the dinner - not too much though, just enough. The ambiance and vibe is that of a restaurant in Chicago - very sexy and lively. First time there and definitely wont be my last.
