The server was very helpful and great. The food is tasty however the food is very pricey for the portion size. The atmosphere looks nice, and there is outdoor eating space, however there are only a few seats available.

This place is amazing! We happened to be walking by on our way to the beach and saw they had a $5 happy hour special. We stopped off for cocktails (Bombay Layover) and fries! Best cocktail and app I’ve ever had! I definitely recommend this place and am looking forward to going back!

The Nirvana is my favorite. Creamy goodness. I’m a strict vegan. That dish never disappoints. Not greasy. I order 50/50 tofu and veggies. Comes out perfect! My husband loves it too. We always order two because it never goes to waste, and 1 isn’t enough for both of us although their portions are enough for two people to share. Extra mild because they can be spicy for some people. So keep that in mind when you order that Indian version of spicy is a little heavier than most other cultures. They customize the spice level but if you’re sensitive, tell them extra mild if need be. Decent pricing too. They have weekday deals if you dine in.

Food was bomb. We ordered 2 garlic naan and 1 Shai paneer. Service was extremely nice. My spoon accidentally fell and the employee gave me a new one without asking. Gave a 5 dollar tip. Highly RECOMMENDED!!!

Great food! Even better service. The restaurant is decorated nicely and has a great atmosphere. Mary took great care of us. I’ve had this two days in a row. One time for take out and once for dine in, both are worth it. The drinks are amazing (I recommend the mango lassi and the mango mimosa). Give this place a try if you care at all about your own happiness.

We had a great time here. The food was delicious. We mostly had starters, but they were really yummy and good portions as well. The ambience is simple and just cozy. Loved the magazine art wall ☺️

We ordered masala and samosa and butter chicken and everything was so spicy that we couldn’t eat our food. No warning about anything being spicy anywhere. Barely any chicken for $24.
