Overall food and drinks were pretty good (mains were pretty mainline but everything else was more inventive), service was good, but price was too much for our large group.Reservation/pricing: The reason for only 3 stars. I called for reservations for a group of 7 and coordinated with Sarah via e-mail. For a group of 7 or more, they stated there was a $140 per person food/drink minimum. This was in the main dining room, for 2 hours maximum. I don't know about you, but it is REALLY hard to eat $140pp in 2 hours, and that is outrageously expensive. We were locked into this in some ways as my in-laws wanted me to take husband here for his birthday dinner. Let's just say everyone had 2-3 drinks, we ordered every single appetizer and every single dessert, and were just short of our minimum (luckily they let this slide). I had to rush the desserts and us getting out of the restaurant as the server started hovering when our 2 hours were up.Service: was good, our server was sweet and came around frequently. They brought a nice candle out for my husband in his dessert (but left us to deliver the singing).Ambiance: dim, not as much art hanging on the wall/as pretty as I was told it would be. OK.Drinks: Overall drinks were a hit, creative, beautiful, and tasty. Everything was good.Small plates:Golgappa shots: the classic was great (for a dish you can get in India for 10 cents). Everyone in the table made a funny face when they tried the tequila variant, so skip that.BEST: Gunpowder gohbi (SO spicy, oh god), rock shrimp koliwada (tasty little morsels, we ordered a second round), stuffed chicken wings (at 4 wings, actually a fair amount of food), aloo tikka (super flavorful & pretty)GOOD: Crab puri & caviar (you get 4, liked the crispy lentils they used to plate them), buckwheat bhel (tasty and beautifully presented, but eat it fast or it gets soggy)MEH/SKIP IT: goat cheese & spinach samosa (your avg spanakopita is tastier), Calcutta mutton cutlet (not very tasty)Oysters: $40/dozen, we ordered the raw. People enjoyed them but I think my husband got some food poisoning from this. Can't prove it!Mains:GOOD: Malabar chicken biriyani (quite tasty), Goan fish curry, butter chicken (although nothing mind-blowing about it)MEH: Kofta korma (tiny little koftas, not very much sauce), garlic naan (kinda...hard and not very tasty), chili cheese stuffed naan (just odd), malai kebab (relatively bland which is good for kids, but mine was kinda rubbery)Something came with a raita with...honey? which was a little odd. And one little bowl of rice. They were out of lamb or we would have tried that.Desserts:GOOD: Lemon coriander yogurt misti doi (the biggest of the bunch, creamy and tangy, maybe not for everyone). Both ice creams were small in size but amazingly flavored, I loved the masala chai, and the mango passion sorbet packed a big punch of flavor.STILL PRETTY GOOD: Caramelized apple chiroti (kind of a weird meld of textures, with this big crunchy chiroti over a pretty firm cheesecake. Also quite a bit of food), pear jalebi (the bourbon ice cream was amazing, but kind of overwhelmed the pear), chocolate bebinca (nice and rich, but strongly coffee-y).
