Everything was good, except that I was surprised to be charged $5 for sliced onions and lemon which I requested for (which is complimentary in all the other Indian restaurants I've visited)

Very expensive for what is offered. Neither the food nor the service is good. The $5 salad plate was the most hilarious: 4 pieces of onion rings, 3 thin slices each of cucumber and carrot, 2 green chillies which were kept as is, and one cilantro leaf.

It was a decent experience. A chain that is owned by Sanjeev Kapoor do come with a lot of expectations in terms of ambience and food. The food was decent enough and the restaurant looks a bit dull and gloomy. The service was very good considering only two of the staffs were managing everything end to end. Full marks to them. A bit disappointing, I must say!

Great food however, if you’re not completely knowledgeable about what the food is, it needed a little better explanation and possibly pictures on the menu. Our server was very polite and very nice, however very hard to understand and didn’t really explain the menu items to us where we could understand what they were. It was our first experience there and we were very excited to try something new.

Good location. We were seated immediately by cordial host. The food quality left much to be desired. It’s gone down since my last visit. The food had a heavy seasoning of black pepper and garam masala. The soup and appetizers were decent. The entree would have been better but the black pepper dominated all other flavors. The breads tasted good but felt like they were made sometime ago. At the end my expectations were higher and the food did not deliver.

The food and service is consistently top notch. The smell of raw sewage is getting worse each time we have visited the restaurant over the past couple of months. Management says they’re working with the building owner to find the source of the stench.

Food quality has gone very low . Menu is changed and so are recipes. The change is not a good change . Taste and quality both gone too low . Not worth spending 150 dollars for two people.
