It's not hard to see why this is popular. We went on a Tuesday evening and had to wait 20 minutes to get a table due to the vast hordes that were sampling its wares.

It's a classy joint, tastefully attired with Indian themes, dark woods and glowing little capsules full of diners as well as the traditional long table with parties of 10 or more.
