This Indian restaurant is perhaps the most beautiful I have ever seen. They have taken their two-level lot and redesigned it into a gorgeous interior space. Elements of India pervaded, but in an elegant sense. You never felt they simply visited a market in India in order to tack random paintings of Vishnu up on the walls. The first floor is a bar, the upstairs is the restaurant, and within the upstairs, there is a tiny loft area with lots of cushions and a low table. It has plenty of privacy and looked to be the most romantic seat in the house!
All around me, diners exclaimed that they had to come back more often. Most were out-of-towners, because apparently good Indian is hard to find in the wilds of Connecticut. I thought the food was average. My sweet lassi was delicious, but my malai kofta was rubbery and my rice overly moist. That said, perhaps that is not their specialty.
I would love to come back here and try their extensive martini menu, including the Mumbai-Martini.
