In Short
This Indian bistro is stylish and vibrant, with orange-and-red walls and exotic aromas wafting from the kitchen. Sit next to NYU and New School professors and students dining on food adapted from Goa, Punjab and southern India, including Goan fish curry and Galina Xacutti--chicken and potato simmered in a puree of coconut and spices. Desserts include a sweet masala chai and keer, and cardamom- and saffron-flavored rice pudding.

I would definitely eat here again. Food was fresh, tasty, no complaints. It is a bit pricey but not as pricey as some other places I can think of where the food is not as good.

Been here awhile, just went here. They were super cool about seating our large group. the servers were attentive, the food was great, and the prices are fair considering the quality of the food. Definitely want to make a habit out of this place.

As with most New York restaurants, the wait for seating is extensive. However, it is well worth it. The food is fast to come, and is AMAZING! I recently went with a few friends and we scarfed down dinner in under 15 minutes.
