| - In a nutshell, it's decent Indian food with Average service in a extravagantly decorated atmosphere!! I mean, the restaurant is so extravagant (a little over the top- but pretty none the less)!!! I would give it 4 stars - but it lost a star because of the mango shake. I take shakes&lassis seriously at Indian restaurants.
I recommend that you do NOT, DO NOT come here for any special days aka Mother's Day, Father's Day unless you like mediocre food with a side of sass and attitude. Have an enjoyable meal elsewhere- or try it here another day.
Must try: dum briyani (obviously!!)
Overall The place looks great, the menu is extensive and the food is decent. For special occasions, a change in atmosphere definitely would consider this place. I will come here again to try some chicken dishes and maybe even the lobster dish!
We tried coming here without reservations Sunday evening and it was booked solid. So- just a note there.
We tried the onion bhaji which was good- maybe a little overdone in the fryer but it tasted fine. Dishes to try: baigan patiala, dum briyani, chicken shahi korma (I asked for it spicy- they made it on one visit without fuss, the second visit The waiter wasn't accommodating). The naans were great!
Dishes to avoid: cashew curry, coconut shrimp curry
Pros: generous serving sizes, flavourful and a neat presentation
Cons: Mango shake (sadly this was not up to par- they need to revamp this recipe to make it more restaurant quality and less Indian banquet hall quality). I'm a polite patron usually, the only thing is I ask for things spicy. I've had some Sassy waitstaff on occasion... Makes me consider dropping it down a star.
I think if you're not a local of this cuisine, you may get better treatment.
