We reserved a table during summer 2025 and went to a dinner date with my Husband .This helped us to avoid waiting time .
We took the three course meal -Appetizer we order :1)Jack Fruit Cutlet which is super delicious ,lil crunchy from outside and I will defintley go back for this .It has been more than 6 months but I still remember the taste : must try.
2) Sabudana Vada is also super delicious and flavorful must try .
Entree : we order Naan and Panner Pasanada which tasted ok .
Dessert ; Must try gulab jamun cheesecake served with icecream it’s very delicious .
Food here tastes closer to home than other Indian restaurants that make sweet/americanized version of Indian food.
The portion sizes are small so make sure you’re ordering for yourself. One curry portion is sufficient for one person and naan is cut into two small pieces.
The food tasted great except for the dahi puri. There’s many ways to make a puri (the shell) outside but it didn’t seem authentic/fresh. It had a rubbery texture to it which is quite uncommon.
All in all it was a good experience.
The chili cheese kulcha was incredible, warm and gooey and the kind of thing you immediately want more of. It paired well with the butter chicken. Shrimp koliwada was one of my favorites of the night with that smoky tandoori flavor. The Goan crab cakes came with a thick rich gravy that I really liked even if the crab itself was a little more subtle. Butter chicken was good, creamy and comforting, but not as memorable as some of the other plates. The lamb shank nihari was tender but flavor-wise didn’t wow me.
Dessert was the star. The gulab jamun cheesecake was the perfect ending and honestly worth the trip alone. For drinks I had the Hot n’ Gold cocktail with passion fruit, tequila, and chili mango purée. It was so delicious I ordered a second one.
Our waiter was attentive and super nice the whole night. The ambience was dimly lit and just right for a date night. We were seated upstairs and the space turned out to be bigger than we expected.
I’d come back for the small plates, cocktails, and definitely the gulab jamun cheesecake!
In the name of Fusion, the taste is all altered and tastes really bad. The service is also not great, they do not know how to serve Biryani. And the cost is a bomb. There are lot of better Indian places around.
If you’re looking for something to pair with the entrees, bread is the only option but that’s way chewy to enjoy so I wouldn’t recommend it
The only thing I really enjoyed was the cocktail, and the jackfruit cutlet was the only one out of the eight dishes we ordered that I liked.
