    We celebrated my wife’s birthday there last night. The food was excellent, and the staff was warm, welcoming, and very patient while taking our orders. We ordered Dahi Puri, Rooh Butter Chicken, Pav Bhaji, and Lamb Chops. The service was prompt and attentive throughout the evening, and every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a memorable place to celebrate a special occasion.

    We love the food here and the service is great. It can get a little noisy but it’s well worth it! We started with the crab cake appetizer and the mint chutney is so bright and lively in contrast to the warmth of the spices in the crab cake, it’s the perfect pairing and I could make a meal of just them. We also had the butter chicken with garlic Naan. Between the two of us we were full and even took some home. The food is so good here and they make it just the way you like.

    Tiya is unlike any Indian restaurant we’ve been to. The menu is so creative. This time we had the tasting menu, which comes in three variations, including vegetarian and pescatarian. Everything was delicious. The food and wine service was lovely. My only critique would be that the dessert didn’t quite measure up to the other courses but overall everything was wonderful.
