Absolutely delicious, wonderfully small scale restaurant. Intimate and cozy seating. Top notch food. The ginger crab cakes and vindaloo fries were standouts.

We have been an enthusiastic customer for the last 2 years, but the last two experiences were a disappointment. Specifically: the raita we ordered yesterday was fermenting and inedible, the chicken tikka masala and the chicken saag were disappointing with dry and hard chicken pieces, the lamb biryani had even less pieces of meat than on previous orders and the cauliflower starter was mushy and unrecognizable as a cauliflower dish.

Short staffed, average food, not worthy of another visit.

We ordered online this evening from Chef Prasad in New Canaan, and in the notes, we mentioned an allergy – and we got a phone call from the restaurant to make sure that we would be OK (Thanks, Chuck!). Our food was delicious! The customer service was fabulous! And there were no allergy issues. Can’t wait to try something else next time!

Wish I had pictures of the food but I legitimately ate it before I remmebered to snap some shots of it. Chef Prasad is great, his food is always incredible (I recommend the Dal Makhni) and is ready quickly. Chef is also very nice and treats you like an old friend, which tops off the experience. Very much worth the price in my opinion. Plus, you usually get your takeout order in a reusable tote bag which is a really nice touch since it’s eco-friendly/reusable/returnable. Thank you Chef!

We visited Chef Prasad today, which was an amazing experience. The food was brilliantly prepared, totally delicious, there were new and familiar flavors, and the service we received was absolutely fantastic. So excited to eat here again.
