I liked this place, but I didn’t love it. If you’re in the area, I think it’s worth going to. But it’s not worth a trip out of your way to eat here. The ambiance is nice enough – it’s a bit too bright, but otherwise it’s tastefully decorated. It has white table cloths and a modern feel. They also have seating downstairs, but I much prefer the upstairs. The downstairs is also loud because, oddly, there is this huge waterfall wall, which would get irritating for me.

On a Saturday night around 8 pm most tables were full, but you definitely did not need a reservation. They tried to seat us downstairs, but we wanted the upstairs and they nicely accommodated our requested.

We ordered the chicken jalfrezi and the chicken dopiaza.

The chicken jalfrezi was really great with a unique flavour, but it was SO oily. It was served on a rectangular flat plate and the entire bottom was a huge vat of orange colored oil. I had to have them drain the oil completely and then return the dish to me, which made it better. The flavor was great though, but the oil is exaggerated.

Indian Lounge (3)I wasn’t crazy about the chicken dopiaza . It came with chunks of red and green bell peppers as well as lots of onions (as the name indicates), but I didn’t think it was all that flavorful. It tasted much like tomato sauce.

We ordered boiled rice, which was standard, and a mango lassi, which could’ve been better. It seemed sweeter than most and it came with colored coconut flakes on top.

Overall good, but nothing to seek out actively.
