I didn't mind not having a reservation as the hostess was gracious and attentive even though the place was packed. The "show" in the kitchen was unbelievable, the word choreographed comes to mind. Then there was the food, I have ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Imagine finding short ribs of beef on an Indian menu...this is the kind of inventive cuisine ViJ brings to his charming and intimate restaurant. The short ribs are seasoned with Indian spices to stay true to their roots and the taste ... more on Yahoo! Travel

My husband and I had dinner at this restaurant and everything was so good! You must try the samosas, lamb popsicles, pork belly (if you're into that stuff, of course), and I forgot the name of it but ... more on TripAdvisor

As other reviewers have noted there are no reservations. I was told go at 5:00 pm and you will be in the first seating at 5:30. We were and had Indian food far better than I could have imagined. It is ... more on TripAdvisor
