The Journal News
The Journal News says “Don’t expect your typical Indian Restaurant”
“While there are certainly some traditional touches in the décor of this 4-month-old restaurant — Rajasthani puppets in the corner, for example, and decorative lanterns that command the front entrance — this restaurant offers a fresher, more contemporary take on what many expect from a conventional Indian restaurant.”
