We had a terrible dinner here. Food was served tepid. Flavors/heat levels didn't live up to descriptions on menu.

As you might imagine, this culinary adventure offers lots of spice, but there are various cooling strategies provided by yogurt, cheese, and coconut. There are tapas, so you can sample.

What a let down. The food was overpriced and not very good. My soup was lukewarm and while the staff was trying to make a show of the food (which they always try to do) it got spilled all over the table. more

Definitely over priced. The portions are small and the fusion concept lacks in most of the dishes. The drinks are really good though. Try the lychee martini. more

Great place (not great service though). Lots of vegetarian items. They even have a "spicy" and "non-spicy" menu! I had a curry chickpea burger with mango rice and it was quite good. The Indian sangria was pretty awful though. more
