Came for restaurant week and ordered their 3 course option. For starters I had the anarkali chicken. It was pretty good and had a good marinade. My main was a salmon curry which I thought was fine, I didn’t feel it stood out. For dessert I had the mango panna cotta which was also very good and very similar to a mango lassi flavor. The inside is a small space but decorated well and very intimate. Overall I didn’t feel anything stood out to me but it was a decent meal

came here for restaurant week and the food was delicious. everything was flavorful without being too heavy or rich. i enjoyed the beet carrot kofta the most. staff is also very friendly. portions are a bit small though for the price which i guess is expected with fine dining- would recommend for food not drinks and i wouldn’t expect to get stuffed from the food here lol. service is also very fast and we got a complimentary little cup of dal!

You can immediately feel the hospitality from their team here, and it’s the perfect cherry on top to compliment the great food.
The lamb chops were unbelievably tender and succulent. The goat bhuna gosht was flavorful and paired perfectly with garlic naan. To close it out, we got their guava cheesecake that was fresh and not too sweet, that’s great even for someone who’s not the biggest dessert fan.

Warm, modern, and intimate restaurant that has a creative take on Indian cuisine. Upon entry, we were greeted welcomingly. You’d notice the decor immediately—stunning and attention to detail from top to bottom! The menu had so much to choose from and the servers were extremely helpful with explaining the differences. But the star of the show has to be the presentation of the food and the flavorful sauces. Worth the city prices. Would definitely come back for another special occasion!

Had a wonderful time at Veerays last night to celebrate my birthday. Ordered off the Restaurant Week menu (plus one extra starter) and had the Vintage Rajasthani Sule for my first course while my wife had the Chaat, and we both ordered the Camel Seekh Kebab for our mains. The lamb was spiced but not too spicy, the chaat was warming, simple yet refined, and the camel was such a pleasant surprise; kind of a cross between beef and lamb in flavor profile. Then for dessert, as they came with our chai and mango Pana Cottas, they also brought out a complimentary guava cheesecake which was delicious. Drinks were on the money for a speakeasy themed restaurant as well (and not that expensive), and our waiter also clued us in to an Indian beer not on the menu that we had to try called The Godfather. Overall it was everything I was hoping it would be, and we will definitely be back!

We went during restaurant week. It was an amazing experience. A bit tough to find because of all the construction / scaffolding inside. Once you’re in it’s a small and cute restaurant.
We had 3 course menu. We had everything from lamb, chicken, samosa, and even fried dessert. Would definitely recommend if you want a slightly fancier Indian cuisine experience.
Also our server was great. He mentioned an exotic meat tasting menu (alligator, camel, etc), in case anyone is interested. You need to request in advance.

Reliable Indian food with bold flavors and good spice balance. The atmosphere is welcoming and staff is attentive. It’s a little pricier than expected, but the quality of the dishes makes it worth it for a nice meal out.

The entire dining experience was excellent from beginning to end. The service was wonderful. They checked on us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and outstanding. We went during restaurant week and the menu selections had so many choices and met all dietary restrictions. The ambiance was soothing and made the evening even more enjoyable. Definitely some of the best indian food we’ve ever had.

It’s a great spot for Indian food! Just a heads-up, they don’t have dessert spoons and plates if you’re bringing your birthday cake.

The Don’s Lamb Chops, by far, were the best item I had here. Maybe the best lamb chops I ever had. Period! On the other hand, the one dish this place is known for: Camel Kebabs were my least favorite. I also recommend the Kurkuri bhindi (Okra). Small portions. High prices. Quality and delicious food. Excellent service and drinks. Ambiance and the drinks really does take you into a different era.
