I came here for an early dinner with my wife today. It was my first time and her 3rd.
My wife is a vegan that is allergic to dairy, so it can be challenging at times to find a place she will enjoy.
The food was amazing. We had the tandoori mushrooms, sagh with potatoes, garlic naan and biriyani rice. I highly recommend the Tandoori mushrooms!
Highlights:
- food tasted great and was not greasy at all
- being a new restaurant everything is brand new and very clean. Extremely hygienic!
- The service was the best part. Our waitor "Ali" was extremely friendly and even remembered my wife from her first visit. She's pregnant, and he even remembered the gender of the child from their previous conversation weeks prior along with the fact that she had specific food restrictions.
I have to admit I was a bit hesitant at first based on some other reviews I read about price and them constantly trying to get you to buy alcohol and pricier dishes. This was not the case at all. I even asked the waiter what he recommended and he was very honest.
My one negative was the pricing was a bit high and the portion sizes were quite small, but I guess someone has to pay for the nice decor :)
Overall, a pleasant experience and good food - but Bombay Bhel down the street still remains as my favourite spot in the area for Indian food!
***** Update as of July 1, 2015 *****
I came here with our family for a late Sunday lunch. From our previous visits to now, the quality has deteriorated quite a bit. The decor is still stunning, but the food quality is not what it was a couple months ago. The food was extremely salty, bland and I felt extremely bloated afterwards. While the prices are still quite high.
I think going forward I'll be sticking with my original favourite int he area - Bombay Bhel down the street.
