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.

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.
