    Everything I have ever eaten here is a 10/10. The Butter Chicken is one of the most delicious dishes I have ever eaten and seems to get better every time I have it. The cocktails are also amazing. The owner and the servers are all wonderful and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough.
