EntreeTandoori platter coldOrdered chai waitress host said would take too long 1/2 an hourOnly diner in restaurant had a bar but didn't serve alcohol only byo and corkage MainsHad goat was ok have had better Had naan bread and eggplant curry with potatoes long wait with 4-5 in kitchen Will not go back Disappointed after reading great reviews

The restaurant held promise for about 15 minutes. The young lady couldn't work the till. I was told it would take approximately 30 minutes. It took one hour in a totally empty restaurant. ( That should have been my warning sign) now the food . Not good, infact it was very Bad. If they read this, the advice is attention to detail.

The meat samosas came with a dipping sauce that had a strong cardamom flavor and an overall sour taste. The samosas had a thick pastry that was undercooked and gooey inside, possibly due to the addition of nigella seeds. The filling had a wonderful taste with turmeric being the primary spice. When paired with the sauce, the flavors combined beautifully, turning the sour note into sweetness. I could tell the spices were freshly ground as I could taste the texture and flavor as I chewed. Although this may not always be appealing, the experience was unique. The goat curry with rice and naan bread was delicious, but it didn't really resemble a traditional curry. It seemed more like goat braised in a tomato chili sauce with a few other spices. I would love to have the recipe for my chili mussels. The meal cost $40 in total, and I left feeling full without finishing everything. The service was quick, but it appeared that the staff were more focused on takeout and online orders than the dine-in customers. I would rate this meal a 9 for flavor but a 7 for the overall dining experience. A big thank you to Chef Amrit and the staff for a pleasant meal. I will definitely be returning.

I like good authentic Indian cuisine so was initially put off by the slightly zany name and branding, but it was actually pretty good. Whether it was quite on the money for being authentic, probably not, but it was tasty and I'd eat here again.
