Customer Reviews
The food here is high-quality and tasty, and the blue interior is cute. The staff is very friendly too! However, it was not worth the $150 we ended up spending for two drinks, two apps, two mains and 1 dessert. Their drinks menu is limited and they do not have a cocktail menu. You can ask for something from their limited bar. All the seating is bar seating of high top, so it’s not an ideal place for a romantic date. The staff also did not seem to communicate very well with each other, we had multiple people coming over to take our order even when we just ordered from someone else. Overall, food is good but the experience mediocre.
We have been eating Chef Prasad's food since we moved here 10-years ago. It's always been amazing and last year he has started chef collaborations, that fuse different culinary styles. The first one we went to was Italian + Indian and the dishes were mind-blowing. The tickets are fairly expensive, but it's worth every cent. It include canapés, 5 courses, the drinks flow and you get to meet like-minded foodies. If you haven't checked it out already - don't miss out by visiting his website.
I was really disappointed with the food here. I tried both the Andhra Veg Curry and the Andhra Chicken Curry, and neither came close to what I expected. Both were unusually sweet and completely lacked flavor — nothing like authentic Andhra cuisine. The only redeeming quality was the takeout packaging — the reusable bag kept the food hot and is actually quite nice. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make up for the taste or justify the high prices. Overall, not worth the money.
Normally the food is good, but what is consistently poor is how long the take to order take out or delivery. Tonight was exceptionally poor. I wouldn’t normally take the time, but when they say 20-30 minutes and it takes an hour and a half, it’s simply not right. They do this quite a bit. The food tonight wasn’t a fair representation of what they normally produce, but it wasn’t worth paying a premium. So, be aware and get ready to wait.
Chef Prassad creates magic in the kitchen. His style of food brings out the many flavors found in Indian cuisine. All good dishes are freshly made and serviced with perfect amount of spices.
