I ordered the mixed grill platter after confirming with the chef that it included fish, shrimp, & seekh kebabs. Unfortunately, the platter was extremely disappointing. The food was bland & lacked flavor. In addition, the seafood portion was minimal only one shrimp & two very small pieces of fish were served.
At $55 plus tax, the dish was significantly overpriced for what was provided. The portion size, quality, & taste did not justify the cost. Overall, this was a poor dining experience & not a good value for the money.

The food here always hits the spot. I dont understand all the negative reviews since this is my family's go-to restaurant. The food is well cooked & flavorful, they dont make it bland the second they see a white person like most other restaurants. The staff is also very friendly. A guy today offered us an umbrella as we were leaving so we wouldn't get soaked walking to the car in the pouring rain.

ok so the service can be a total drag.. the biryani & naan are packed with authentic taste, but our food took forever to come out cause the kitchen was completely overwhelmed.. its a decent spot if u have time to kill, but they definitely need to speed things up
