Classy, clean, elegant, mellow, romantic and most of all, DEEEELICIOUS! My friend Birkleigh had her 24th b-day party there last night and we were treated like royalty by every single person in that place! From the mixologist at the bar who made our cocktails special to order to the chef, Mikail, coming to our table twice to check on us and to see how we liked the food, this place is the end all, be all, in fashionable, high-end dining in Los Angeles. They have a loaded wine cellar, (actually a temperature controlled wine closet encased in glass for all to see, tucked neatly beside the dining room) with wines to go with every dish and then some, that they have on their menu. In the lounge area, I could not take my eyes off the TV screens displaying Bollywood dance scenes from movies and fashion shows direct from India with fashions that I would love to have!
The delicacies this gorgeous place has to offer are not your traditional findings on a simple Indian food menu. They are artisanal entrees served with love and care. Bombay-L.A. Melange on the apps. side was the creme de la creme for sampling a little bit of everything and the tamarind chutney was simply to die for!
We were given extra entrees to sample, the chicken specialties are so mouthwatering, you want to dance and sing about it! Tandoori chicken is done so elegantly and the velvet lamb melts in your mouth!
Hot and steaming garlic naan is the way to sample the delectable Wild mushroom and Spinach Curry, that was my fave entree. And for desert, oh, the cake that they brought for my friend! Gorgeous! And we sampled the plum tart, killer delicious, and the best thing I've ever tasted in my life (being a chocoholic) CARDAMOM CHOCOLATE CAKE! I almost peed my pants! I absolutely LOVE this place and will be returning again and again for celebrations, dates, with guests from out of town who want a fine-dining experience and for this cake!!! ohmigod...I'm still dreaming about its yumminess on my tongue.
Pros: elegant, service suberb, food excellent
