Rebecca MazzaAugust 20, 2012Stop by the Spanish wine store first and pick up a bottle. Then be amused that every other table has the exact same bottle.
Rachel PortFebruary 7, 2015Fun but the food isn't great, the service was pretty bad, and they automatically added a 25% tip to our party of 8... which is way too generous. Bottom left restaurant is the winner.
Cheryl ChoJanuary 4, 2015Rushed service (terrible) and food isn't that good. Really it's just about the lights, which hang really low! Barely able to stand upright without hitting the lights. But worth it to go once
Tai TaiFebruary 17, 2014Food was really food but I did not like the experience too much. This is a fire hazard! Get ready to be overwhelmed ... This place is extremely crowded.
Jeanine R.September 3, 2011The food is decent, but nothing to write home about. The naan is grilled pita bread. The rice is sticky & a little over cooked jasmine. The interior is fun, an explosion of chili pepper & xmas lights.
Larry LaBurrMarch 6, 2015Come here for the price and the BYOB and the novelty, not the taste of the food.
Rose FinnertySeptember 24, 2011The butter chicken is amazing here. Make sure to go to the downstairs restaurant
Lilit MarcusOctober 31, 2011Come for lunch on a weekday. Way less crowded/insane. I once had the place to myself.
Annalee FannanSeptember 5, 2011The one on the bottom right has a "garden", which is worth checking out. Other than that, all four are almost identical.
Christine AndreaJune 27, 2013This place is fantastic , its a great place to bring friends to have a festive dinner
Aditya MukerjeeMarch 26, 2015They literally served us warm pita bread and called it "naan". Inedible food, expensive, and the kitchy vibe really doesn't make up for it.
Tammy_kMarch 17, 2013Don't be fooled into going downstairs! Kitschy atmosphere. Food is okay. It's like a diner for Indian food.
Jen DangNovember 25, 2013SERVICE HERE IS AWFUL! We made reservations and bday on a Fri night and from the moment we ordered our food, they rushed us to finish and kick us out. Go to Milon next door for a more enjoyable time.
Karin RendelmanApril 30, 2011Super fun...love the chili pepper lights!! Great spot for a date orrrrr a going away party<3
Caitlyn LevanJune 7, 2010get one of the specials on the back of the menu and share, you get to try everything!!
wai-ling q.April 16, 2010I wonder what the utility bill looks like for all those lights. You want to go to the restaurant on the top right. There appears to be 3 others that look the same. We got to celebrate a bday! Oh man.
Ellen RiellyAugust 22, 2015We never come here but the place downstairs was closed. They rushed is through every part of the meal and they didn't have gulab jamon :(
Andrea FischbachMarch 9, 2013The service is rude and horrible. They took away plates mid bite and while others were in the bathroom, responding with "oh well. They got up." Not to mention they 20%+ tip added to a group of 4.
Yeah, it's filthy, but it's also delicious. The cheese nan is such a guilty pleasure.
Rachel PerlinJanuary 1, 2012Downstairs is better and less boat like...food is also weird here. Kraft American cheese naan? Seriously?!!
Paulo SakaDecember 31, 2012We had the worst service! They dropped a chicken and tried to serve it to us again, they gave us cold food. And then they wanted to charge us 20 dollars for "good" service? Wow. Just bad all around.
Dritan VushajAugust 4, 2011Food is bland. Their version of "naan" is just grilled pita bread (lol). Samosas are like this bland soup in crispy fried dough. Completely empty inside, found out why.
Maddy LachmannFebruary 7, 2015They told us we had too many bottles of wine to be served.. So we hid some
Zachary Bouzan-KaloustianOctober 22, 2011My friend calls this food "movie theatre, pretend Indian food"

"Banana pakoras! I may not be an expert on Indian food, but it doesn't matter those things are to die for. You can also ask for the appetizers sample which includes this delicious pakoras."
