The chapati was soft and quite delicious, the salmon bites were so flavorful and the platter that we ordered was enough to feed our large table. The pilau though as a fellow African, needed some meat in it to add more depth and the rice could have been cooked a little (more soft). Overall, a lovely experience of flavors. Thank you to our server, he was really nice and did his best to check on our table.

We enjoy the dining experience. The food is good and the wait staff very nice. We've eaten here a number of times. It is a very good please to have dinner when you are going to an event at NJPAC

I cannot believe that I have not experienced this spot sooner. To quote my nearly 11yo, "Oh my WOW"!
I was looking for a place near NJPAC, for a before show dinner and fortunately came across this spot on Yelp. The service, the ambiance, the music, the cocktails, oh and the food were terrific. Portions are generous, every bite is full of flavor and our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Really 4.5 stars, definitely will go back.
