Strawberry Mojito is fresh mint and limes muddled together, shaken with fresh strawberries, and topped with Sprite. It’s a little on the sour side. Lightening up on the lime or incorporating more strawberries may balance it out. The mint is a nice touch. Rating: 4/5
Mango Sparkler is fresh lime, mango puree, simple syrup, and topped with soda. The drink is perfectly balanced with sweet and sour. The texture is thick like a smoothie (or Mango Lassi). Rating: 5/5
From Diwali menu:
Condiment sauces may include Tamarind Ginger (sweet tropical and cranberry-like flavors), Smoked Tomato (very subtle, Indian ketchup), and Cilantro (tropical yet a little spicy).
Kebab Platter consists of Malai Chicken, Lamb Kebab, and Swordfish Tikka. Malai Chicken is very tender and is perfectly marinated. The sweet chili sauce for the swordfish actually worked best with the chicken. Lamb Kebab is similar to kofta (ground lamb pressed onto a skewer in an elongated shape). The kebab is very juicy and is loaded with tons of flavor. The sauce paired is a little too sweet. Swordfish Tikka is succulent and tender. The sweet chili sauce paired excellently with the swordfish. Rating: 4/5
The main course is served with Dal Amritsari (slow-cooked black lentils), Naan (Indian flatbread cooked in the tandoor oven), Saffron Rice, and Raita (yogurt-based condiment).
Butter Chicken is chicken in butter and creamy tomato sauce. The chicken is tender and the sauce has a creamy, buttery flavor that works well with the chicken. Rating: 5/5
Classic Rogan Josh is lamb curry, onion, tomato, and Kashmiri chili stew. The portion of lamb is very generous but is a little dry. Searing the outside of the lamb before placing into the stew might help lock in the juices. Rating: 4/5
For dessert, a Chef’s Platter with Diwali Sweets is a sweet and colorful ending to your meal. Gulab Jamun are Indian donuts glazed with a very sweet syrup. Kheer is a rice pudding of sorts. It has the texture of soupy rice pudding with tapioca like flavor. Rating: 3/5

Best Indian food I had in ages. Place looks great too, which is rather rare for Indian restaurants. It is pricy but the food and he experience is great.
