**Exploring a New Culinary Gem: A Mixed Experience at an Indian Restaurant**
A newly opened Indian restaurant offers a diverse and well-prepared menu featuring both vegetarian and meat dishes. While some patrons praised the fresh flavors and reasonable prices, others were disappointed by the inconsistent service and food quality. Complaints included underwhelming dishes, such as tough naan and poorly executed appetizers, alongside issues with staffing. However, moments of delight emerged through dishes like Shrimp Vindaloo and Tandoori Lamb chops, showcasing the restaurant's potential. With a happy hour and varied offerings, this establishment remains worth a visit, though improvements in service and food consistency are needed.

The food is excellent and the portion sizes are generous, but the service could be a bit quicker.
The service was disappointing; the person assisting us appeared to be quite uninterested. He seemed hesitant to offer any help. To make matters worse, they were completely out of lamb, and our orders were not prepared correctly. Considering we were the only customers in the restaurant, this was particularly surprising. We had high hopes for our visit, but unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations.
I visited the restaurant early on a Saturday night. It’s a lovely location, but it was quite empty—understandably so, since we arrived early. When we asked the waitress for drinks, she mentioned that there was no bartender available, which was amusing! However, our waiter helped us out instead. The food was really fresh and tasty, and the prices seemed reasonable. I genuinely hope they succeed. They’re in a bit of an unusual location, but it's definitely worth a visit!
This is a new Indian restaurant. The food is very well prepared. They have both vegetarian and meat dishes. The menu is very well rounded. They have a happy hour with half priced apps. We were waited on by Happy. A very detail oriented person. I was not sure on what to order he did a very good job of describing the items and making suggestions. Everything he said was spot on about the food we ordered. We had an eggplant app that was very good. The lamb chops we ordered was large enough to share by two. As an FYI they have a bar. You will not go wrong
We went for Mothers day brunch, which was $30 per plate and the food was not good at all. The naan had become very hard and none of the appetizers were good. Only the Idli and Vada were good. The chicken tikka had no chicken in it and it was all sauce and the buffet had 12-14 items including appetizers. The chole bhatura was good but the bhatura was left in the container for so long that it had become hard. The main problem I had with it was that when you charge $30 a plate, the least we expect is good fresh food in buffet and atleast all the items should be filled out. One lady next to our table complained about chicken tandoor not being filled for 30 mins and then the server brought the chicken tikka but it had no spice or salt in it. Overall, it was not a good experience to have the mothers day lunch here. I would not visit here again for sure.
