    I've been here about 8-10 times now .. while the food has been consistently good, the service is kinda slipping ... on a few occasions now we have had to wait for someone to even come pour water after being seated at our table and follow up for our order etc.. would be a pity to see a place like this slip coz of the service ! The cocktails could use some innovation but the ambiance is spot on !

    Beautifully decorated restaurant with massive skylight roof. The standouts for me were the octopus - soft warm bite with seasoning and sauce that paired well together; and the cod was delicately treated and melted in your mouth. The gravy paired well with this too. I wanted to mention one the starters - I forgot the name - but it was like small fried chickpea bites. It felt like a combo of falafel and samosa. But you dip them in the sauce and it had a strong flavor. Enjoyed these as well.

    It was amazing. Upscale Indian cuisine with a twist. The service was quick and the food was delicious. The kerala chicken and the shrimps were so good.

    We had a family dinner here, and while it was not the best place for our kiddos, the adults were treated to a fantastic meal. We started with the sesame leaf, which is like a super airy crisp, covered in a cornucopia of amazing flavors. You get hit with cream, mango, cilantro, and more texture with the crispy things on top. Don't eat it like a chip, it will break and make a huge mess, but other than that it is outstanding. We also got the kerala fried chicken, which was also delicious. Not the same variation of flavors, but it is moist, crispy, amazing chicken. The gulf coast shrimp was also very good, and had a little kick too. Lastly we had the butter chicken, which was like most butter chicken, but less spicy. Still delicious, but it wasn't anything new. Dessert was a chocolate mousse. It was delicious also, but didn't have the same flair as some of the other dishes. Overall, we had a blast trying all the different menu items and experiencing the flavor variety. To top it off, the service was excellent.
