“Amazing experience. Edward gave us some of the best service we have ever had. The food was diverse in texture and cuisine. Very good vegetarian selection especially Nirvana. Had a great wine selection as well. Would recommend to anyone interested in diving into elevated Indian cuisine.”
“Excellent excellent restaurant. From the food to the presentation to the service, I know this place is "only" a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant, but I routinely visit full Michelin star restaurants when I travel, and this place deserves a full star. We did a 9 course prix fixe meal with wine pairing. The foods were all creative adaptions of regional Indian cuisines and ingredients, and the wait staff took time to explain each part of the course and brought a map of India to show where the inspiration came from. The portion sizes were reasonable, and we were stuffed--not dying--after *nine* courses. The wine pairings were the only part of this dinner that was less than exceptional. To be clear, the wines were all good; it's just that a good pairing should enhance the wine and/or the food, bringing out flavors that weren't apparent without the pairing. While this was the case for some of the pairings, others were a little dull, or the food removed some of the complexity of the wine. 10/10 would recommend. I suspect being on Michelin's radar for three years already, if they upped their sommelier game a touch they could get a star.”
“A good option for modern Indian. Sauses in main dishes were great, thick and flavorful. Great portions too. We also tried Nirvana appetizer, signature to this place with 37 ingredients, but whole dish was overwhelmed by the crispy noodles so I couldn't really taste much else. Ambiance is nice and simple.”
“Visited with high expectations given the hype, but overall, the experience felt quite lackluster and not worth the price point. We tried the Fennel Paneer Tikka, Nirvana 37, Chef Ajay’s Chicken Tikka, Dal Makhani, Lasooni Palak, along with tandoori roti and garlic naan. While everything was decent, nothing really stood out or felt memorable. The flavors didn’t quite justify the premium pricing, and we were left wanting more from the overall experience. Unfortunately, the meal didn’t live up to expectations, and we left feeling disappointed.”
“3 star is for food and for service is only 1 because while booking for group they did not mention that they will charge 50$ per person which is still ok but they were also charging 50$ for 3 year old kid and 4 year old which we denied. After 30 minute of discussion they joined 2 tables and made us to sit and we were group of 7 adult and 4 kids sitting on 2 combined table of 4 which was very congested. Food we ordered and rating: Appetizer: Fennel Paneer Tikka (8/10) Amritsari snapper (7/10) Drinks: The Himalayan alcohol free (8/10) Navigator (7/10) Silk route (9/10) Pink city (8/10) Entre: Lamb Gushtaba (7/10) Chicken Chettinad (8/10) Butter chicken (7/10) Kerala fish curry (7/10) Bread: Garlic naan (9/10) Cheese naam (8/10) They did got all the order on time and they were polite once we started with food. Definitely worth visiting only if you are in small group.”
