If you are the foodie then this place is not for you. When we entered into the restaurant the server opened the door forcefully on our face and did not even bother to say sorry, just went out to attend other people. It feels like that person is on notice period because he was roaming into the restaurant and singing song while serving, almost dumping the plates on the table. Now lets come to the food part, it was bland and fish was not marinated perfectly. The fish cover was having salt and other spices but inside it was not flavorful. The Pomfret was not cleaned correctly, in one of my picture you can see the black thing was still there due to which the taste was bad. The chicken curry was okay. Parotta was so oily and too much thick. The service was very poor and they even not bother to ask how's the food. They were just dumping the plates in front of you and doing their part. We have not seen passion for serving the food. The ambience is really good, but if they don't have proper service so its not worth.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and the rich aroma of spices that promised an unforgettable meal—and it delivered! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor, from the perfectly spiced butter chicken to the fragrant basmati rice and pillowy garlic naan. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff took time to explain the menu and make thoughtful recommendations. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for top-notch Indian cuisine, this place is a must-try!

Saketh was amazing!! We came within the last hour and he was still very pleased to serve us and interactive, he was such a pleasure to have be our server and this location was very nice and inviting!!! the atmosphere is very intimate and lovely.

Other recent reviews are not accurate because this place was such a great random find on a tuesday night for us!!! We love and adore yall!!! WE WILL BE BACK !!! ✨🌟🍀💋💗

We loved it. We celebrated our first anniversary dinner date here and the food was tooooo good. We want to come here every year for the same. It's explicitly good. The service, the hygiene, the taste, the authenticity, all supreme. We would recommend Paneer Tikha Mirch, Mahesh's dal, garlic naan, Mango lassi and even jeera rice. They had those fried onions over the jeera rice which added to the rice's excellent taste. Just loved the experience ! Coming back definitely !!!

Visited last week as we got few recommendations from friends. At the outset was not very impressed to the expectation. Food was good, but the portion size for the price was not up to the mark. The restaurant was so small and quite noisy. Rack of Lamb and Prawn curry was our favorite.

RACIAL PROFILING!!!! I Drove to this restaurant in the pouring Houston rain to have what I thought would be a nice experience and food with my Family. However upon our arrival at 8:40pm we were quickly told the restaurant was closed as we observed a White family gathered having a meal. I decided to approach the manager who exclaimed the restaurant closes early and lied to my face stating that the sign on the door couldn’t be removed and the online hours were incorrect when in fact He was profiling and discriminating against us as a Black Family. I would never come to this restaurant nor do I recommend it.

I had a truly delightful dining experience at Mahesh’s Kitchen. The Tangdi kebab was flavorful, and the Chattinad chicken was incredibly aromatic. But the star of the show was the lachha parota – perfectly cooked and flaky. The ambience was elegant and inviting, creating a lovely atmosphere. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning soon.

The food was delicious and clean. The vegetarian kitchen serves an ample variety of Indian cuisines. Came to eat twice and was served well with courtesy.

Very nice restaurant that offers happy hour during the week starting at 4pm Couldnt make up our minds on what to eat for lunch so we ended up here and glad we did. There are huge glass windows in the back to look at the people who prepare the food. Great flavors and spices in everything we ordered. Stay away from the white sangria, apparently nobody likes it. I sent mine back and they suggested I try the red sangria instead. Awesome choice. Food was hot and delicious. The restaurant itself is very chic and today was Eid Mubarak but it wasnt crowded at lunch. Friendly staff and clean establishment.

Me and my friend decided to go to maheshs kitchen on Super Bowl Sunday evening and it was so empty! We were the only ones there until maybe 7:30pm which made me a little more comfortable. But again it was Super Bowl Sunday! This was my first time here but I heard good things so was excited! After checking the menu, I knew I wanted to try their pani puri for the appetizer. I'm glad they asked spice level I got mild and it was still spicy for me. But so good!!! We then ordered the Navratarakorma and palak paneer. Both mild-the korma was way too sweet for my liking. But my friend told me at restaurants they make the korma sweet. I'm so used to my mom's korma which is tomato based curry and no sweetness. The palak paneer good- since I did it mild it really had no spice at all so mainly just creamy but not bad. Garlic naan one order came with four pieces so we only did one order and it was good! Typical garlic naan. The entrees don't come with rice but we decided this was enough for us to share. They do have a bunch of fusion- but a lot of it was meat options- it was a bit expensive so not for the everyday evening but maybe for special occasions. There is also a parking garage for free right in front of it.

Wanted to check out somewhere new to eat, saw this place next to AMC. I forgot what chat I got but it was fried but the inside was cold, bummer 1. The garlic naan is one of the best I ever had. The butter chicken is standar, but quite small. The pizza.. biggest bummer. Super bland, just cheese, naan, chopped veggies. But it just tasted like bread, cold cheese, and crunchy onions. The kabab was great. But this pizza.. full of regrets. Would come back for the naan and kabobs. But pretty pricey for mediocre food.

I've been to this place and it has consistently been good. I've tried different items kn the menu and every one had been delightful. Sheek Kabab (pictured), butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, vinadaloo curry.... All have been amazing! They get the spicy just right where it's pretty spicy but it still maintains very nice flavor profile. Service has been very good. I travel for work so I've always been here by myself. Service is fast, helpful and no nonsense. I like it. The place is always full yet stays very well organized and clean. Ambiance is on part of upper middle range restaurant. Enjoy!

Overall dishes were tasty but thought it was too pricey for what it was. We visited during Saturday dinner and it was quiet inside. The avocado bhel was a unique dish and had a unique flavor to it. We would have liked to try some more fusion options, but unfortunately they are no vegetarian options under the fusion portion of the menu. We ended up getting malai kofta and paneer tikka mirch with garlic naan. Both dishes were tasty but had a high price tag at $15-20 per dish. The location is inside the Sugarland townecenter so parking is in the garage inside the complex. I don't think I would return as Sugarland has so many other Indian restaurants to try.

Parking: This is a busy complex but there is a public parking right across the resturant. Ambience: This is a fine dine resturant and i loved it. Food: the food was great be it vegetarian or non vegetarian. Loved their reshmi kabab and chicken appetizers. Price: prices are reasonable. We were a party of 19 yet there were able to bring out food in reasonable time. Loved the place as well as the food. Highly recommended.

This is in Sugarland downtown and I absolutely loved this restaurant. The ambiance is so chic, has a very nice fine dining vibe to it. They have a beautiful bar area and amazing decor/wall art. The menu is typical but well crafted - the dishes are made to perfection! It was a true sensory experience- the staff is literally waiting on you, hands and foot. I loved the whole experience. Definitely my top restaurant now in the Houston area!

Staff is very raciest. I have waited for 45 minute to go in and after that 45 min after placing order. They did not serve the order after 45 min and when I ask restaurant manager, he told me I am trying to help you. What he is trying to help me? I am paying for food it is not free food. He did not accepted his mistake and ask me to leave the restaurants else he said we will throw you out. Owners:- You need to immediately change your staff.

I stayed at the hotel across the street on business and ate here twice. I loved it. The food is fresh and delicious. Great spices and flavors and yet, felt clean and healthy. The lamb chops are incredible! So, so delicious and at an excellent price point. I also had a wonderful shrimp dish from the appetizer menu and the vegetable biryani + raita+ Indian pickles and hummus. All great. Service is excellent. Attentive and helpful. Special shout out to Ibania at the bar with her warm attention and beautiful smile. All restaurants should have an employee like Ibania. She respresents this establishment so well. I'd love to return next time I'm in Sugarland. I think this is the best food in this immediate area. Thank you.

Every time I go is a wonderful experience. Eric is the best waiter I've ever met. They have a good mix of authentic, traditional Indian dishes and fusion dishes which are fantastic. I've been Indian a long time and I found a dish that was supposedly authentic but seemed like a spicy, creamy, chicken with Parmesan cheese and potatoes and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The cocktail menu is also amazing. Every trip there is an adventure. Love this place.

The bartender, Kyeria, and manager, Connie, were so kind and attentive during our meal. The food was delicious and very worth it for me. I would love to visit again soon. Only downside is that it's in sugar land so a far drive from me, but I would make the trip again.

Mahesh's is an attractive restaurant at Sugar Land Town Center and offer authentic Indian cuisine that delivers on flavors. My friends and I ordered several appetizers and entrees, including a shrimp dish, a tofu dish, a mushroom dish, and a goat stew. Most of it was excellent! I even had the goat leftovers the following day, and it was just as delicious. The level of heat had my nose running , but the unique, savory flavor payoff was well worth the nose-blowing! The roti was just ok. I've actually had outstanding, MEMORABLE roti elsewhere, so my expectations were high. Service was commendable. Our server was sweet, delightful, and helpful with her spot-on recommendations.

This meal was SO GOOD. I had the sweet corn bhel, which I'd never had before, and it was amazing. I wish I had taken a picture before I had several bites, it was prettier before I started eating it. I'm pretty basic and also had my usual go to- butter chicken. But this was the best butter chicken that I've ever had. I live in Austin, but come to the area often for work, and will be coming back here over and over. Delicious. Thanks for the great meal when I was away from home!

2nd time visiting this lovely place. It remains undefeated in customer service. This place will have great success if it continues to have excellence in customer experience. I had ordered the turmeric margarita and it looked and tasted different than our previous time coming so I had mentioned it to the server but they said this is how the drink was suppose to be, so I said ok. Then the kind gentleman Mr.Giovanni decided to bring a new margarita that looked and tasted just as I had remember. We didn't ask, but he made the correction. Talk about excellence. The meal was delicious as usual. It's obvious they care alot about how the food tastes. Food- ordered the samosas great flavor and I liked the sauces ,garlic nann and the shrimp Biryan which came with an egg yummy. Everything was great. Will continue to support this family owned restaurant. Sorry no pics of the deliciousness, got caught up eating!

My son and I returned from London a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed some really superb Indian food while we were there. When I suggested today that we find a restaurant that served Indian food in the Houston area, my son agreed, but told me very directly that we should prepare to be disappointed and I suspected that he was right......but he was NOT! I have eaten Indian food in Europe, Asia, and all over the United States. Mahesh's Kitchen ranks at the top - the VERY top of the best of them. The layout, atmosphere, and table settings in the restaurant are excellent (truly a cut above!) There are large viewing windows into the kitchen through which patrons can see nothing but sparkling clean surfaces.....positively spotless. The cuisine is nothing short of delicious - perfectly cooked and presented with good-sized portions. Better service could probably not even be found in a Michelin-starred eatery. In addition to our waiter, the manager came by to introduce himself and checked to make sure that our dining experience lived up to our expectations. Mahesh's Kitchen is truly deserving of the high praise I have indicated in this review. I am delighted to say that the best Indian food I have eaten in years is right here in Sugar Land, Texas.

I grabbed a quick solo dinner on a work trip. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that I was there alone and their menu is not very set up for solo dining (no samplers or combos; sides like rice and naan are ordered separately from entrees, not included). I just wish I had been there with my family, it would have been perfect for a date or family meal!

Horrible service and food. Had a takeout where they missed one of the items. Their chicken biryani should be called baloney. Has coarse rice and no chicken. Most of their food has too much salt and spice overload. Stay away from this torture

I was really impressed with the ambiance and food of this Indian restaurant in the heart of SL town center. When I initially heard of this restaurant I immediately recalled the long gone Shiva's restaurant that occupied a corner of SL town center years ago. I was expecting something similar but I found it to be very different in all the best ways. The restaurant is beautifully appointed with updated decor and warm white/gray and wood tones. Beautiful lighting and bar area. On our first visit after dinner nearby (shout out to Vino & Vinyl-another fave) we were seated at the bar and enjoyed excellent fusion cocktails. Definitely recommend the mojito and tamarind margarita. The bartenders were really courteous and attentive as well. On my next visit for lunch we sampled quite a bit of the lunch and dinner menu and all of our food was enjoyable and portions were hearty. Even the lunch portions of shrimp biriyani and chicken easily fed 2 people. We tried Avocado behl, the shrimp biriyani (small), butter chicken lunch portion, daal makhani (dinner menu), and galab jamun. I would easily order any of the items again. We also had the mango lassi and I would say this is by far the best mango lassi I've ever had in terms of appearance and taste- 5/5!! You can adjust the spice level and while we got medium on the daal it was certainly more spicy than the other dishes we ordered at the "hot" spice level. Service was attentive and we were frequently checked on. The server was also quite knowledgeable on the menu. With the decor and location being what they are the prices are definitely on par so don't expect a cheap lunch here. This is definitely a splurge worthy Indian restaurant however and I look forward to future visits with my family members for special occasions.

Everything about our visit was great! The service and recommendations were spot on. My wife and I don't eat Indian cuisine often enough, so we needed a bit of guidance and we got some. All of the food was amazing. We had a couple of different curries. The garlic naan was, as everybody else mentions, addictive. You really can't go wrong visiting Mahesh's Kitchen. If you're even considering it a little, give it a shot.

Lunch visit. Attractive interior design and set up. Feels upscale. Food was excellent and seasoned as requested. Good variety and fair pricing. Have a bar. Service was excellent. Much better experience than most other Indian food restaurants which aim for fast table turnover. Recommend you try it.

Forgot to take photos before eating but knew immediately it was Yelp worthy. One of the better meals we've had since moving to TX last year. Be prepared to pay a nice price (about $25 an entree, $6 for naan, $7 additional for rice).. but you be flavor was worth it. Offer 3 spice levels; everything was perfect.

Disclaimer: I'm Indian. My mom decided to take my family here for dinner the week before my birthday. At first I was excited because I confused it for another restaurant with a laidback setup and normal Indian menu. Once we got to the restaurant, we got put on a waitlist for over an hour because it was a busy Saturday night - understandable. We finally got a table around 9:45. They close at 10. The indoor area had a nice setup but felt that the tables were a bit too close to one another. Onto the food: we started with the pani puri and Chinese noodle chaat. My mom thought the chaat would be like actual cooked noodles but the whole bowl was just full of fried noodles with some veggies and sauces. It was underwhelming. The pani puri was good. For our meal, we shared the malai kofta, butter chicken, the fish fry appetizer, and shrimp pitayala appetizer. We ordered naan on the side as well. Before we ordered, I told my mom that based on the vibe of the restaurant, I think we should order everything spicy rather than mild or medium. I could tell even before eating that they're really trying to cater to the American palette. So we did order the meals as spicy and yet everything was overwhelmingly sweet. The portions and taste do not fit the price whatsoever. I feel disappointed because Sugarland has such a large South Asian population and this food feels like a smack in the face. Not authentic whatsoever. You can go for an upscale, fancy experience yet keep the authentic flavors and they're not doing that here. Also, we had to order plain basmati rice ourselves after the food came out; most Indian restaurants serve rice with the main meals. The mango lassi was also not that great. If you want an upscale Indian dining, go to Kiran's or London Sizzler. If you want a more authentic experience, just go to hilcroft. The area has many veg and non-veg restaurants with better food quality and authenticity compared to Mahesh's. If you live near Katy, I recommend Bombay Palace on mason - they have a good variety.

Food - If you are looking for an overall value ($$, Quantity and Quality). The ugly - We ordered Lal Mirchi Goat - it was $28 hardly had 1/4 pound of meat - We are not looking for a pound of meat. Had 3 to 4 pieces out of which 2 of them were bones. Indian food throughout the Americas is overrated and you are paying way over. The bad - If you are going with a family beware you are going to walk away with $$$ - We ordered 2 items (Reshma Chicken and Lal Mirchi Goat) paid $80. The Good - Courteous waiter and the ambience was ok - If you are going on a date (First) this might be good were you are not focusing on $$$ Finally, Cmon guy's don't tell me that you cannot give a good value. This to me is a totally rip off. The taste and quality of the food is mediocre - This idiot can cook the same what Mahesh has given. Date 09/01/2024 around 3-4PM ***Indian food in America is a total rip off *** I will challenge Mahesh to do better and not to build the bank balance but to build the good will of customers.

This is one of those try hard restaurants that failed miserably. If you live in the bubble of Sugar Land and left a review then y'all need to get out more. We came here for lunch and it was dead so service was great! Let's get on to the food and drinks. I may sound like a broken record but for the price tag of the food and drinks here I would expect better. Plenty of better places in Houston. For drinks we had the Tamarind Margarita and the Cardamom Mojito. Both drinks came out in collins glasses and from my experience neither should be in that glass. They sounded so promising in the menu but both were watered down messes. The Tamarind drink tasted like tamarind/date chutney that is served with samosa as it was extremely sweet and lacked any cumin infused tequila as the menu states. The Cardamom mojito had no taste of cardamom. It tasted more like a mint mojito. As far as the presentation of the drinks go, there was none, not even a garnish of cardamom or tamarind peel. NOTHING! We started with Samosa and Pani Puri. Not really sure what they were trying to do with the appearance of the samosa. It's almost as if they handed a kid the samosa and told them to put it together. The dough was made well and fried to perfection. The samosa did not come out extremely oily which was nice. As far as the filling goes there was nothing extra that made that expensive, just potatoes. The pani puri was done pretty decently minus the water for it being extremely sweet. The crisp of the semolina flour puri was probably the best part of the pani puri. Our mains were veg as the majority were vegetarians. We ordered the basics Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta, and Dal Makhani. Palak Paneer was extremely bland. The spinach in the dish tasted as if it was canned. For a restaurant with their price tag you should put a bit more effort into making and trying your food. The paneer was also extremely dense and rubbery. The malai kofta was all cream and no flavor. Once again try your food and see if its worth the price tag you think its worth. The kofta was made of the same rubbery paneer. The Dal Makahni is the only thing I would probably order from the three dishes. It reminded me of the one Raja Foods off Hilcroft sold at their place. Thats a good and bad thing because I know I can get it so much cheaper there. The garlic naan had fresh garlic on top and actually was the only good thing at the restaurant. I would probably just go get naan from them to go. We ordered Gulab Jamun and Mango Ferni for dessert. Gulab Jamun was a bit tougher to cut into and a bit more dense than I would like but on par with most other Indian restaurants. The Mango Ferni(Phirni) was simple and weirdly included blueberries on top. I guess thats their attempt to spice it up as it normally includes dried fruits. I would ask the chef revisit his menu and reinvent some of the dishes especially at this price range. I know Town Center rent is heavy but this food needs help. If you are in need of Indian restaurants there are plenty of better options. If you want basic North Indian food try Bombay Brasserie or Indias. They actually flavor their food there. If you want slightly fancier basic North Indian food go for Kirans. If you'd like a modern take on Indian food go for Musaafer or Da Gama. Keep in mind Musaafer is RIDICULOUSLY priced.

Service was great! However there was too little chicken in my Byriani. 1 small wing and 1 small drumstick was all there was - and a huge bowl of rice and potatoes. Should have had at least 1 more piece of chicken. Maybe some cubed breast pieces too. Flavor was good too, but maybe a little heavy on the cinnamon for my taste. Ambiance is nice too.

I really wanted to like this place. But honestly, it just wasn't worth the price hype. Let's start with the positives: Great service Pleasant ambiance Plenty of parking, Not too loud, very family friendly, but... The food...nope! The only think I actually liked was the kadai Paneer! Everything else I ordered was just not that great. I had high hopes from the Daal Makhani, but was disappointed.

My husband and I stopped at Mahesh's kitchen one Friday afternoon for lunch. We are outside where they have a perfect little outdoor patio in town center. Even though we ate outside they still brought out a tablecloth for the table, which was definitely a nice touch. For an appetizer, we ordered the corn bhel which was spicy, delicious and all the flavors hit just right. The malai kofta was also excellent, creamy with just enough hint of spice. The chicken biryani was on point. Generally, I'm not a fan of chicken biryani at restaurants because it's more like pilaf. Having been to Hyderabad numerous times, I'm very familiar with how biryani should should taste and this is it. Unfortunately, we were too full from all our food to try dessert but I'm certain we missed out. Based on how good all the other food was, I'm sure the desserts had to be too.

Came here on a Wednesday for their lunch. I was craving pani puri and was initially disappointed that they didn't offer it on their lunch menu. However, they accommodated my request. Great service but disappointed that the pani puri tasted a bit on the stale side. The crispy noodle chat was way too sweet for my taste. Also, the sauce made the noodles a bit soggy as well. The lamb vidaloo was good, had a good spice to it and the lamb was super tender. The butter chicken was also good and the chicken pieces were tender as well. The salad was light and refreshing and wasn't drenched in the dressing, which was good. Overall, good service and good ambience but the food was a bit pricey.

Wow, this place is so yummy - we ordered a fair amount of plates and I really enjoyed each one. The dynamite chicken as the app was super tasty and all the entrees were amazing. Garlic naan is the best I've had since being IN nepal. Definitely check this place out for authentic, delicious Indian food

First time trying Indian food and I was thoroughly impressed. The restaurant is absolutely stunning! I went at noon on Thursday and it wasn't crowded. (I've heard weekends are a different story). For apps we tried the Avocado Bhel, Sweet Corn Bhel, and shrimp (forgot the name). Everything was delicious but Sweet Corn Bhel was my favorite (I love corn). Moving on to entrees, I've heard that Butter Chicken Curry or Chicken Tikka Masala are great options if you're trying Indian food for the first time. They offer both, I chose the first option (spicy). The consistency of the curry was perfect! Creamy, not too thick or thin, with just the right amount of chicken. Oh! I almost forgot. The garlic naan?! *chef's kiss* (Made in-house in a tandoori oven?) Lastly, what better way to cool the palate than ice cream!? (Made in-house). We tried both the Ginger and Pistachio ice cream. I'm not a big fan of ginger so the pistachio won my vote. I'll be back to try the Chicken Tikka and a drink.

Very nice ambiance. Had a cardamom mojito that had no cardamom taste and needed more mint/lime but i have had millions of mojitos to compare to. The chicken tikka masala was passable but seems to be missing that "tang". I was very disappointed that rice was not part of the $21 dish. It has been included in all other Indian restaurants I have been to. I do have to give props on the chicken used. These days chicken texture/flavor can be off but this chicken was heirloom quality and freshly made with no fridge or leftover taste.

So glad Mahesh's is now serving lunch. I went on a Tuesday, very nice on the inside. Loved the ambiance. Appetizer was the Shrimp Patiyala (4 Pcs) it was very flavorful. The portion size was just enough, not too much. For the entree I had the Butter Chicken, it was delicious. Loved my first visit from start to finish!

Some of the worst service I have ever gotten. The waiter was rude and tried to over charge us by close to $30.

Amazing food, ambiance and staff. It's so nice to have a fine dining Indian restaurant right in Sugar Land. The manager, Melvin, goes above and beyond for guests and the food is always on point. It's relatively traditional with authentic flavors but there are some dishes that are a bit more fusion. Such a great mix. Looking forward to spending more special occasions here!

Great food and service. Waiter made several recommendations since I am not a fan of curry. It was a but warm in restaurant but still enjoyable.

Mahesh's Kitchen tries very hard to be an upscale Indian restaurant, and while the decor/ambiance is nice, the food leaves A LOT to be desired! Firstly, the restaurant is decorated nicely and the bar area is done well. Drinks were good and we thoroughly enjoyed whatever drinks we did order. Now the food: Paneer Tikka app - dry and cold, literally like eating rubber. I had to send it back. Avocado Bhel - Delicious! Light and refreshing, I would order this again. Malai Kofta - Nice flavor but came out cold. Lamb Chops - cold and fatty, not worth the price. All of the dishes came out cold and when we asked them to be re-heated they STILL came out cold. This place isn't cheap and I expected more since its right in the middle of town square. I won't be going back or recommending this place to anyone.

We love this place. Been here like 4 times already. I always order their lamb chop appetizer, you can never go wrong on that. I gave them a 4-star only because one time I went with my mom, she ordered some sort of crab meal. The crab smelled a little as if it was dead before cooking and it tasted weird. They changed it but it completely ruined the experience for my mom. It was her birthday at that

The interior is bright and clean. From the hostess to our waiter, service was polite, friendly and prompt. My only question was why he did not ask if we wanted bread with our meal. I started with the Pani Puri. There were 6 of them which seems to be the standard number in most restaurants. They were fresh, nothing worse than the shells being stale. I always order Butter Chicken when I am trying a new Indian restaurant. It arrived rather quickly and the aroma hit me first. Warm, spicy, almost Smokey. The chicken was fall apart in your mouth tender. The sauce was deep, rich and at a medium spice level, left the back of my mouth with a warm glow. Very good. I also ordered the Lemmon Rice. The taste was very light and did not interfere with the taste of Butter Chicken. Dessert was an Indian form of Bread Pudding. The sauce reminded me of a very creamy, sweet Chai tea. The prices are reasonable.

Delicious!!!!!!!!! We loved everything we tried ESP the avocado appetizer... it was so tasty! I'd come back just for that app The mango lassi was good. They added cardamom to it which was unique and delish

The restaurant is nice, bright and open with clear glass separating you from the kitchen. They have few seatings outdoor. We ordered hot tea but forgot to ask what were our options. They brought us 2 packaged ginger, turmeric flavored tea bags. I asked if they had any fresh brew like black tea but they didn't have any. For food, we ordered spicy hot goan shrimp, Andrade gongura fish, roti without butter and jeera rice. The food was good but it was mild. We wanted indian hot so this was a disappointment. Hence, the 3 stars. BTW, service was great.

Great food Here on a date night. Restaurant is clean and the service overall good. Our wait staff was pleasant, attentive and had a lovely smile. The Delhi style potato chaat is to die for- that alone will bring me back The Laal Chilly goat was flavorful with meaty, chunky pieces of meat, The Andhra fish was tasty and flavorful too. The Plain Naan is crisper than I like but not bad. The Jeera rice is cooked just right with distinct long Basmati grain rice not clumped up as it should be. Gulab jaamun - a, dreamy, soft sweet All in all a wonderful gastronomic experience- will certainly be back.

Had high hopes with this place, given the pleasant and quiet surroundings. But was heavily disappointed with the food. Dal Makhani is a big no. The Shrimp appetizer was good and briyani was below average. Definitely pricey!

The food is overpriced for sure. Ordered biryani, there are three tiny sad pieces in it overall! With raisins!
