Would not recommend if you have kids in strollers. No lift in the premises, you have to carry the stroller into the basement, where the restaurant is. No change table for babies. We had made the booking over the phone & I had specifically requested room for a stroller, I wasn’t told it was not a KID friendly restaurant.

Our dinners were delicious and the servers and chefs were very helpful in customizing levels of spiciness and dealing with a rare food allergy. The menu was quite varied and included some dishes that we don’t typically find at Indian restaurants. The four of us had a very enjoyable dinner.

The food was decent and the ambience was nice. Service was however under par, there was no one at the front when we were looking to order and basically waited 5 minutes but other than that the food came out quick after ordering and taste was good too.
