It was to loud to have a discussion with people at our table.
Business response:
Oh no, Sumit! Sounds like the volume dialed up before the conversation could. We’re all about bold beats and big flavors—but not at the cost of table talk. We’re turning the volume and the charm just right, so we hope you’ll give us another shot to impress (without shouting across the table)! 💛
We loved this place, Great vibe! Music and decor was perfect and the food was absolutely delicious and authentic.
Business response:
Erin, you're speaking our love language—vibes, spice, and all things nice! 💃 So glad you loved the music, decor, and that cheeky dash of authentic flavor. Aunty would definitely approve. Come back soon, and bring the whole crew!
Meh food, club vibes, nice staff. Maybe not my cup of tea
Business response:
Oh no, Iris! Sounds like our masala missed the mark for you. We totally get that our clubby chaos isn’t for everyone—but we're still grateful you gave us a shot! If you're ever in the mood for a wild ride of flavors (with a side of sass), we’d love another chance to win you over 💛
Great experience for a soft opening of a new restaurant. Food was great, enjoyed the ambiance and service was great once it came to the table. Really enjoyed it and the concept.
Business response:
Mike, you caught us at our mischievous best—even during our soft opening! So glad the flavors, vibes, and service hit the right notes. Don’t tell Aunty, but we’re just getting started 😉 Come back soon for more bold bites and good times
The place is a nightclub with food at night. The music is so loud that’s not even enjoyable to eat there. We were a group of 4 sitting at a table and it was difficult to converse with each other. The food was good though. I would go back for lunch but not for dinner.
Business response:
Thanasis, thanks for the honest review—and you're totally right: by night, DTA does turn into a bit of a dance floor with butter chicken 💃🎶 We're working on striking a better balance so the beats don’t drown out your biryani. Lunch? We’ll be ready with lower decibels and full flavor. Hope to see you then!
Food started out great. Kristy kale and tots great! Totally delicious but not hot enough…in fact, that was the issue with all food….it just wasn’t hot. Also naan, which others ravesd about, Wasn’t cooked enough and lacked flavor. Sorry, has potential, but lacking in execution. Also drinks although pricey were very small and not great.
Business response:
Lucille, thanks for giving us a try and for calling out both the hits and the misses. We’re thrilled you loved the kale and tots, but lukewarm food and underwhelming naan? That’s not how we roll (literally or figuratively). Aunty’s on it. Come back soon and let us show you the hot, flavorful chaos we’re supposed to serve 🔥
Excellent food and ambience, we ate here before a concert and it was perfect. Ask your waiter for recommendations you won’t be disappointed
Business response:
Bonnie, you nailed the pre-show power move! 🎤✨ So glad we could set the stage with delicious bites and tasty vibes. Don’t Tell Aunty, but we love when guests let our team take the flavor wheel—thanks for trusting us! See you for the encore?
Food was fun and delicious but the noise level even for a 6:45pm reservation was too clubby and loud. I get that the vide they're trying to create is a young, hip vibe but it was a little much
Business response:
Hiromi, thanks for vibing with our flavors—even if our beats were a bit too bold. 😅 We totally get it—sometimes Aunty just wants to hear herself gossip over the biryani too! We’ll keep working on that perfect balance between party and plate. Hope to welcome you back for a slightly less clubby curry night soon 💃🍛
Great !! Food was quite different form any other Indian restaurant
Business response:
Robert, you just made our day brighter than a plate of butter chicken! 😎 Thanks for loving our bold twist on Indian flavors. Don’t Tell Aunty, but we’ve got even more surprises cooking up for your next visit!
