What our guests are saying
What a lovely space! Ambience is nice and intimate. Interior is thoughtfully designed and gorgeous. The food was solid overall, though keep in mind the portions lean towards fine dining. The goat shank was flavorful with meat falling off the bone. Lamb chops were yummy, frenched with a tasty sauce. Chicken tikka masala was pretty good. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Service overall was excellent.
