Reviews
Although I sound like I’m making an advertisement for them but this is how I actually felt while I was dining over there.
Definitely coming back again
Environment/Ambiance- I must say the decor and upper scale and modern chic look is what sells the place for me. Love the dark tones theme and elements which tries to tie everything together. The chairs are one thing that is conspicuously off and a mismatch. They need to replace them. Simple and minimalist clean look.
Service- I was welcomed by the manager and he seemed friendly. He asked one of his waiters to seat me. I had recognized the waiter from another restaurant he had worked at earlier. He recognized me as well. Once I told the manager and staff that I am a foodie and informal and unofficial reviewer, they seemed a bit standoffish, reserved at first. Once I showed them my pics and other reviews they warmed up. Overall, the staff and manager were professional and glad to assist the customers.
Food-
Pakora was okay and “standard issue,” flavor and consistency.
The fried okra was heightened to tastier and visually appealing levels.
The grilled Tandoori wings were “meh”…nothing distinctive and marinated with too much pepper.
The Tandoori Tiger Prawns were good, and could have been a meal on its own. This was the best of all the dishes I tasted here.
Tandoori nan with dried raisins was moist and soft and balanced out the heat and spices of the tandoori BBQ prawns and lamb curry.
The lamb curry dish tasted like a hack job. They bought out the dish even before I had barely finished ordering the dish. The gravy was too watery and I was told that it was a popular dish.
They don’t have many choices for end-of-meal treats. I chose the standard Ras Malai. It tasted “standard” and lacked the richness and “decadence”.
The menu was basic and all too familiar “usual suspects” dishes. They could have added some distinctive and unique “only here” dishes. The team could also work on their food presentation and visual appeal factor. They should take a page from Junoon (high-end and upscale Indian restaurant in Manhattan) and raise the bar in several categories of assessment.
Buffet is BACK!
We went to DD first time after the pandemic started, and were so happy to see they had their buffet section back for weekends lunch.
Their buffet items were top notch, everything tasted delicious. They had chicken biryani, smashed egg plant, paneer tikka masala, fish, lamb , chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken. Items were cooked fresh and kept warm.
Really glad to see DD survived through the pandemic, and getting back to its old groove. Will a regular here to whenever I need to calm my Indian food desires.

Great interior, wonderful service. Dishes are well prepared. We went during lunchtime for buffet. Options included chicken biryani, goat curry, fish curry, chicken tikka masala. There were palak paneer, daal for vegetarian option.
Service is very slow. Restaurant is clean and modern, but very pricey for the quality.
The service was good, although the first thing the server said to us on entering was, “do we know that they shut in an hour?”. We did, but it made us feel unwelcome and rushed from the outset. After that she was very pleasant, but I don’t know why you’d say that so far from the time of closing! Completely unnecessary!
