  “This is a true find in downtown. Indian food served with some style and a little punch of modernism. You will not be disappointed. The only reason I gave four stars in service is because the owner needs to understand that he has to hire …”

  “The ambiance made it seem amazing but I was disappointed. The servers seemed to be confused about our orders. Food tasted good until we got the dessert. Lamb chops were oily and not out of tandoor (definitely not ‘sizzling’). Pot Pie was …”

  “The food here was genuinely excellent—everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The vegetarian seekh kebab stood out in particular, and the pistachio kulfi was a perfect way to end the meal . The ambience is also lovely, with a warm and inviting vibe that makes the space feel special. That said, the service left something to be desired. It was quite slow, likely due to how busy the restaurant was, but we had to follow up on our orders more than once, and even getting seated took longer than expected. Overall, this is a restaurant that truly delivers on food and atmosphere, but improving the service would make the experience much more enjoyable.”

  “This restaurant was amazing! They have a beautiful lush space with plush chairs and bohemian colors. It was lunch time so not super busy which was nice. Giri was kind and attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely dine here again as there were so many great options on the menu, but I really liked what I got. For my appetizer, I got the parmesan truffle fries. It comes with ketchup that you can serve with a little spoon to avoid double dipping if you’re sharing. For my entrée, I ordered the vindaloo which I was really happy about because it has a red curry and I’m a sucker for curry. I was a little sad because I wanted the saffron basmati rice that came with another dish but to my surprise, the vindaloo came with it as well. The food was flavorful and filling, and everything came out in a timely manner. This place sits in between historic downtown LA and little Tokyo, a six minute walk from the historic Broadway, Metro station very centrally located and a good spot for lunch or dinner.”

  “Here’s a balanced, honest review you can use: When I arrived, the restaurant wasn’t very busy—only about four tables were occupied—but it still took a while for me to be seated, and longer than expected to get my first drink and place my order. The food itself was good, and I’m glad I tried this place at least once. Overall, it was a decent experience, but for me it’s probably a “tried it once” kind of spot rather than somewhere I’d rush back to.”
