Came here on a Saturday night and it was sparsely crowded. It did start filling up after 7 though. I wouldn't call it a speakeasy because it is too easily discoverable and the interiors are big with upbeat music. The lighting is great and so is the seating. The servers are really polite. They have an outdoor space as well, for smoking. A DJ started playing after 8; one of the servers told me they have live bands on Thursdays and Fridays. I loved the varied seating, they have kept all group sizes in mind.
I tried their signature cocktails: Are You In Cal, I've never had Alpenliebe washed vodka before, but it went well with caramel, coffee and spiced milk liqueur; Hello Stranger, Matcha went fantastic with coconut milk and Japanese whiskey, especially the Matcha wafer; Friday, 7 PM, gondhoraj was matched cleverly with gin and vermouth; For Old Times Sake, gin and amaro go well especially when sesame and coconut oil are involved; Dude, Put Your Shirt On, I've never had scotch paired with Kulfi, but the subtlety paid off; The Stage Is Set, sake, red cabbage tequila, aloe vera and olive brine is a mixture I've never had before, was a bit salty for my taste but not bad; Pop Goes The Daisy, coriander oil and gherkin aren't usual ingredients for a cocktail but with tequila they went really well. I loved the way they had presented their cocktail menu, each item had a small backstory leading up to its name.
We tried the small plates as well: Silk Road Seekh, Stir Fried Crispy Hunan Chicken, Spicy Chicken and Leek; they were all pretty good.
We finished up with the Dark Chocolate Tart and it was simply delicious.
The prices are quite high but that's to be expected from a place like this. I would highly recommend this place. Needless to say, we were just a little bit sober when we left!
