I liked that there were no reservations only because you know that before you get there. The owner, Vij, come and greets you personally which I thought was cool, and aologized for making you wait… but who wouldn’t want to wait? The cozy back lounge with homemade complimentary chai tea and indian snacks… delicious.
We didn’t wait long for our table, right by the front window. Our server, Taylor, was knowledgable and friendly.
The appetizers were incredible. The entrees were lacking though… Some things were not as well prepared as others, and I found my Lamb Popsicles (signature dish) to taste more with spices found in chinese cooking than indian. I was sad about that.
The handmade Thomas Haas chocolates with cardamon were delicious with a moscato d’asti and chai tea.
Great atmosphere, we will go again for sure!
