★★★★★ 5.0 Nicole Armstrong · Feb 2026

This is me and my boyfriend’s favorite restaurant to escape to. The food, service and atmosphere are exceptional. We sit at the beautiful bar and enjoy serene views of the Himalayan mountains while we sip always fresh crisp cocktails. We usually get a curry dish. I like the thali because it offers a variety of tastings. We’ve gone over a dozen times and we always leave happy. We’ve now taken a liking to visiting the tea shop next door for medicinal herbs, tea, honey and sound bowls. We love this place and cannot wait to visit again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Dee Dee Thompson · Feb 2026

I had the privilege of dining here quite a few times and there isn't a bad dish on their menu. Aside from the exceptional food, the restaurant itself is a beauty and the service is exceptional. The owner is kind, passionate and attentive and I promise, you won't be disappointed if you eat here. The tea room next store is also quite lovely and makes for the perfect post-meal experience too.

A few nights ago, I ordered dinner for two from this restaurant via Instacart/Uber. Our favorite Indian restaurant, Taj, in Fairfield, no longer delivers to our area. After seeing the 5-star reviews, I was impressed and hoped for the best. We ordered the same dishes we had gotten from Taj many times. To say we're disappointed is an understatement. "Dismayed" and "disgusted" would be more to the point. The order arrived 40 minutes late (Uber did give us a $15 credit). The food was not appealing, the portions were small (10 oz metal containers, not well packed or closed) and the "dessert" for $6.00 was three M&M-sized balls that arrived in a plastic container half the size of a paper bathroom cup. My Chicken Korma was grainy, overly sweet, and had too much of a particular spice I couldn'

★★★★★ 5.0 Raveena Gates · Sep 2025

One of the best restaurant meals my friends and I have had together in a long time! We went there as a group to celebrate my birthday. Their tea is exquisite and their food is delicious. Their wait staff provided excellent service. The overall experience we had was truly memorable!
