| - Experience: my friend Lance (check out his review on here) tried this place an raved about the food. So he invited a few friends to come try it out. We came around 7:00 for dinner.
Facility: beautiful! This is a very upscale, modern decor with heavy Indian influence. So beautifully done!!! They have tables and chairs, bar seating, and some booths. They have some outside seating coming soon too! I loved being able to look around and having some things to look at...from the Ballywood-esque mural, to the beautiful window treatments. I have to mention the seats were pretty comfortable too, which is rare in a restaurant.
Service: This is the only reason, I'm marking them down. Otherwise they would have a 5 star from me. They are very polite servers; however, the first thing we ordered, was my cheese naan and the eggplant. This was my main meal. The cheese naan was the last thing that came out, after asking 4 times for it. I was actually full eating other folks food by the time I got it. One waitress I questioned on the status said they didn't even have cheese naan, although it was on the menu. Then she brought another Garlic naan instead. When they finally brought my naan, they said the extra garlic naan they brought by mistake was on them. Of course! How about comping my cheese naan instead! They also took forever to bring out another friends Chicken Marsala. Hopefully they get it together soon. I do love how personable the staff was, and the owner even came out to greet and talk to us.
Food: A-maz-ing! I love Indian food and this did not disappoint. Everything we had was good...honestly, there was nothing I disliked. We ordered a lot, so I will try to remember all we ordered. We asked for everything very hot on the spicy scale.
Cheese naan - 5/5 so good and cheesy!!!
Garlic naan - 5/5 hot and fresh!
Basmati rice - we had order rice to go along with our meals, as it's not included. It was cooked perfectly.
Chili Paneer - 6/5 yep, that good! It had a great chili sauce it was tossed in, and was crispy outside, with a creamy, cheesy middle. Yum!!!
Murgh Tikka Trio - 4/5 every piece of chicken was spiced well and still juicy in the middle. I did find myself adding more sauce though.
Samosa - 4/5 loved, but the cheese corn was not my fav. I loved the potato the most and then the pea. They were all crispy, hot and good!
Baingan Bharta - the eggplant dish I ordered - 5/5 so yum with a nice texture from the pop of the peas. I loved the flavor and this went well with the naan
Chicken Saag - 5/5 great flavors, tender chicken.
Madras - 5/5 we ordered the lamb for this one...it was my favorite. It was creamy and loaded with flavor. Loved to dip my naan in the sauce too!!!
Chicken Tikka Marasala - 5/5 this was the spiciest of our dishes with an amazing flavor
*I also wished they offered something complimentary, such as naan with a full meal or even the rice with a big order such as ours. I hate when places make you order every piece of the meal to make it a meal.
Overall: I do realize, they are brand new and still working on their groove, so I'm definitely willing to come back in a month or so, and hope they got it all together, so I can bump to a 5. Because the food is already there!!!!!
Come try it out! It's delicious!!!
