    I went with an older female friend for their Coolinary menu. I added the wine pairing for $20. They had waters on the table ready for us before we sat down. The 2 female wait staff was attentive and friendly. It was our first time there and we will be back! The food was delicious and portions great for all appetites.

    The place feels and looks great. Neat menu with an interesting mix of foods. The samosas and the chicken tikka marsala were wonderful. The braised short rib could have been the same, but was on the dry side. The low point was service. Brusque and not a real welcome feeling. We got the bill handed to us before we had decided on dessert. And keeping the silverware in between appetizers and main course is just awkward on a table with no table cloth or bread dishes.

    Silk Road is a must-dine! The spot is a hidden neighborhood gem with delicious high-quality food and incredible live performances. It’s a small space so reservations are a must unless the bar is available.

    Fantastic place with fantastic food and service. Not just Indian fare. Great fish dishes, pork chops, ribs, has it all. Ganesh is a fantastic self taught chef with a PhD in microbiology who left that career to start cooking and we’re delighted with that decision!

    Amazing food and atmosphere. Such a beautiful setting! We went for valentines day and it seemed like they were not prepared for how many people had reservations for the evening. Our server kept coming to our table and asking us what he was missing and then running away to get it. Would recommend highly on not such a busy night.

    Had tried this restaurant before, thought it had a cool vibe. Unfortunately our experience wasn’t great this time. Our food took an extremely long time to come and most of the group did not like the food. Wonder if they have staffing issues that was a problem? The management seemed to realize service was off, they comped one of the cocktails. So, disappointed with our experience, but I hope they recover soon
