I had the worst time at this restaurant. The food was fine, nothing special. Then me and my boyfriend went to pay. We asked to split the bill, and then found out that they double charged both of our cards. When my boyfriend confronted the waiter he was extremely defensive and attempted to backtrack. I on the other hand did not realize until I got home i had also been double charged. I called my credit card company and the restaurant, both of which were not helpful. I called the restaurant multiple times to complain about the service with no response besides they will have a manager call me back. I never heard from a manager and would like to warn everyone that this place is disgusting. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. I go to lots of restaurants in New York city and I would have to say that this is one of the worst!!! STAY AWAY!!!!! 0 STARS!!!!

This is one of the worst places I've eaten in the past few months. The menu is poorly arranged and confusing. The food is over-spiced and lacking in balance. The descriptions of the dishes sound inventive, but the taste of the food is one-dimensional. Service is attentive, probably due to the fact that the restaurant is 3/4 empty. I tried this restaurant because of the chef's recent TV appearances, but was truly disappointed.

Beautiful, large and high end restaurant. This restaurant offers Latin Indian fusion, also pure Indian dishes too are on the menus. Delicious dishes. However shahi tukda in desert was disappointing. It should have been better and this restaurant would be completely flawless. Prices are high , but quality and taste was worth the high prices. Note this, they don't have so many items on menu but whatever they have except desert, everything is worth trying.

The food was amazing at this place! My boyfriend and I got a groupon deal for dinner for 2, which included 2 appetizers & 2 entrees. For our appetizer, I had the fish taco and my boyfriend had the bombay franky ( a wrap with chicken breast and fried egg). We both had the lamb shank for our entrees and it was DELICIOUS!! The meat was so tender; it was falling off the bone. It was a little spicy, but not too overpowering. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The atmosphere and the ambiance of the place was really modern. I loved the decor; it gave the place a nice vibe. I will definitely be visiting again for sure!!

Just didn't wow me but it was good pizza. Topping weren't scarce but also not stacked. Ordered an extra large half pepperoni and half "Almost Everything". It was a good sized pizza that for me and my fiancee with leftovers of the next day.

I made a reservation for my fiancé's surprise birthday celebration for 8pm on open table, confirmed via phone call a few days before. I get a phone call the day of at 6:20 asking if we are still coming for our 6:15 reservation. I proceeded to say, yes we are coming but at 8. I was then told they wouldn't be able to accommodate our party of 10 because they are closing the kitchen at 8 and the restaurant closes at 9. I asked to speak to the manager and she said he was gone for the day. What restaurant closes at 9pm on a Friday night in Manhattan, especially when their closing time is listed at 11pm online?! I had to scramble to find a place that would take a large party with less than 2 hours notice. Luckily we were able to find somewhere else but I just found this whole situation extremely unprofessional. I was very excited to check out this restaurant, especially since I work in the area and would have likely been in a repeat customer - but that's definitely not happening now!

It was really cold in the restaurant and even though the restaurant was near empty, we felt like our waitress was trying to rush us out. The portions are generous on the plus side, and the flavors are there but the execution comes across a bit haphazardly. The bhel kale was deliciously flavored, but too greasy and it seems they forgot the burnt orange in the burnt orange salad. I did enjoy the gobi portuguese and the ginger naan, but I will likely not be back. EXCELLENT cocktails though.

Had late afternoon food and drinks on the outdoor patio. The food was great - we had the kebob sampler and each one was fantastic. Drinks were excellent too - creative and delicious.
