    It was the best restaurant week experience I had to date. The food was magnificent and our delightful waiter was so knowledgeable and friendly. I think his name was Athini. I will definitely be back and highly recommend the restaurant to everyone I know. Thank you so much.

    Bhartha (aubergine) was new on the menu. Not good for vege I should have stuck to the paneer. Was a little dry and not tasty at all. Paratha could have been topped with butter. Vege platter was great taste. But equally a little expensive!

    An overall costly and underwhelming experience. Both our starters were undercooked and serving undercooked prawns is dangerous and unacceptable at such a restaurant. We had to send it back. At this point we felt like complaining that the lamb was also blue was tiresome. Not rare, it was blue. Flavors were excellent but does not excuse this. They did remake our prawns for us which is why the service score is rated good. The sorbet that is served on theatrical dry ice was completely liquid and not at all a sorbet. The mains were good but had not even one element of garnish which was rather disappointing and we felt we could get this experience at our local Indian restaurant on a Tuesday night- dressed better than this. The dessert was indeed a mess and drowning in a custard thats is no representation of Indian food what so ever. The flavors of the Indian sweetmeat was totally lost in that bowl. Ambiance was seriously lacking with no Indian music playing to elevate the Indian fine dining experience you are promised. For the price, it was not worth it for us and even though this review is harsh, it is truthful. I provided them this feedback at the end of the meal as well. I would not recommend to anyone I know neither would I go back unless they seriously improve. We looked forward to the evening and even dressed up but we were disappointed.
