Had a great night. The vibe was really fun and the food was excellent. Service couldn’t have been nicer. Happy to have you guys in the neighborhood.
Business response:
Eileen, thanks for the warm welcome! We’re thrilled to be in the neighborhood and even happier to know we made your night. Come by anytime—we’ll keep the good times cooking.
This place never misses!!! Love the food, the vibes, the waiters!!!
Business response:
Mehar, you’re making us blush! Always here to deliver food, vibes, and friendly chaos—just the way Aunty likes it.
I've seen some mixed reviews for this spot so just wanted to come out and say that me and my friends had an excellent time and a delicious meal! The service was quick, helpful in answering our questions about some of the meals, and very polite. Truly a fun place that I would gladly visit again!
Business response:
Nicole, we love that you gave us a chance and had a blast! So glad the food, service, and vibe all came through. Don’t Tell Aunty, but we think your table might’ve been the fun one that night.
The atmosphere was so welcoming! The decoration so beautiful inside and out. The servers, very patient and professional. The food, really creative and delicious and fair priced. Great cocktails too.
Business response:
Emily, you just described everything we aim for—welcoming vibes, beautiful decor, and bold flavors with a twist. Thanks for the love on the cocktails too. Hope we get to host you again soon!
The food and drinks were very good and the server was attentive but not overbearing. However, the music (mostly house/dance) was way too loud for the space and it made me feel like I needed to yell to converse over the food. This would become a staple if they could make it feel more like a restaurant and less like a club
Business response:
Danielle, thanks for the thoughtful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and service—but totally hear you on the volume. We love a little mischief in the music, but not at the cost of conversation. We're dialing it in and hope you'll give us another go soon.
The overall experience was great. The food is good, though they could amp up the spice level on some of the dishes and watch the saltiness. The India meets tiki bar vibe is fun, and it's great to hear the contemporary Indian music, but it was loud enough that you can't have quiet conversations. What needs work is the welcome. The hostesses were so frantic trying to fit in people who walked in off the street that they neglected two parties who had reservations and were waiting. And they did not take care to attend to us first... read more
Business response:
Jesse, thanks for such a thoughtful review. We're thrilled you enjoyed the India-meets-tiki-bar energy and the bold flavors—but you're absolutely right, the spice and the salt need balance, and the welcome should never feel chaotic. We’re taking this to heart and tightening things up. Can’t wait to have you back when things are smoother, spicier, and more seamless.
While the lunch menu is still limited, the food was excellent! The Kale Chaat and Kati rolls were big hits for us as were the creative cocktails!
Business response:
Navin, big love for the Kale Chaat and Kati rolls shoutout! We’re still rolling out the full lunch vibe, but glad you caught a flavorful preview. Come back soon—we’ll have more surprises (and cocktails) waiting.
I know there are a decent amount of complaints abt noise, but a) the food is quality enough that it overshadows the noise issue, and b) I’ve only been during lunchtime- perhaps it’s loud in the evening for dinner, but it’s fine for lunch! Really great food otherwise. A somewhat limited menu- I wish there was more variety, but otherwise really really quality.
Business response:
Jonathan, appreciate you calling out the balance—we’re glad the food delivered, even if the volume sometimes tries to steal the spotlight. We hear you on the variety, too. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback—we’re dialing it all in as we grow.
Love this place! Such a fun vibe and the drinks and food are unique and delicious.
Business response:
Sanjana, we love that you felt the fun. Unique, delicious, and a little extra—that’s exactly how we like to serve it. Can’t wait to have you back for more.
