The food,the service was just amazing.. it was my son's birthday. And they surprised him by celebrating in a unique way. Only the wait time is bit longer but one can wait to try the tasty authentic food. Highly recommended.

I can’t talk to the food, since I never got that far. I’m sure it would have been delicious. I made a reservation, showed up on time, and was promptly seated. That was the last I saw of any service. After waiting for 30 minutes, I got up and left. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, and they looked adequately staffed.

Service was attentive and good. Nice dining atmosphere. Suggest to have a hand wash area as entering a wc to wash your hands and seeing a toilet is not appetising before a meal. We were very disappointed with the food. We went with the expectation of the good reviews and to have a nice south indian meal. The fish curry and sambar was sweet!!! We did ask for spicy but it was sweet. Very disappointing. We will not go here again.

The interior could use an update, but the food and the service more than make up for it. The place is filled with people that know Indian food. The food itself is great. Recommended. Don't let the dodgy stairs scare you away :-)
