It was so good that I ended up ordering from Uber eats 3 nights in a row. Butter chicken, dal makhani, chicken kebab, bhatti murgh tikka & pudina lacha parantha are my favourite go to. Hope you guys keep up in times to come too.

Good service & pleasant atmosphere. We tried the Paneer Lababdar, which was a bit oily & had too many spices & herbs, & the Lotus Stem 65, which was coated with excessive masala. Overall, it was still a decent dining experience.

Good food & inattentive service is the best way I can describe the dining experience here.
We had the Pomfret & Bengali Fish Curry. They are both amazing & I would highly recommend them if you still decide to come here just for the food & decor.
In term of service, it was awfully inattentive for a team of 4 staffs in such a small restaurant on Monday night (granted, labour day). It felt like my partner & I constantly need to beg for the servers attention. I feel genuinely embarrassed having to try to catch the servers eye & wave them down & being ignore again & again. Maybe they were too busy to care? I don't know. But it shouldn't be that hard for a quick checkup here & there. We literally had to ask for water (which should had been a bad sign for us at the beginning).
Even at the end when we wanted to ask for a dessert menu to salvage the experience, we had to call after a difference server after she seated a table next to us & walked away. She came back… with the menus for the new table but none for us. We kept on waiting with finished, dirty dishes & empty water bottle on our table since we want to give them some benefits of the doubt. But as I watch the servers keep walking past us & ignoring eyes contact, we decided to grab the bill & leave. It feels rather funny to watch other tables around us get more attention than us. I dont think they even know or remember about the desserts.
Let me add that none of the servers were rude, if anything they had been very nice & sweet (for the brief second they are at the table), neither was the pace of food coming out. That's why I didn't want to give them 1 star. Just inattentive to the point of ruining the whole experience: a waste of such a beautiful restaurant & amazing food.
I hope the owner wont give some unfair reply to this review & dismissing us to some poor etiquette like they did with other 1 star reviews. But we have been nothing but nice despite the experience. :) I say this with much kindness, but even a small & quick check up during the courses can add plenty to the quality of your patrons' experience. Wish you all the best.

Decent restaurant with good food prep style & decent amount of space for accommodating larger groups as well. Only thing I feel could be improved is the overall portion size. However, the taste is super! Thank you.

Mon ami & moi avons très bien mangé. Comme il connaissait les propriétaires, ceux-ci ont eu la gentillesse de faire un geste sur notre facture. Nous avons choisi le poulet au beurre ainsi que le poulet tikka masala. Le poulet au beurre faisait partie des meilleurs que j'ai pu goûter. J'ai eu un véritable coup de coeur pour le samosa, qui était vraiment savoureux. L'intérieur du restaurant est simple mais agréable, avec une petite salle à manger & un joli bar. Je recommande vivement.
