"Rating: 4.5 stars (rounded up to 5) The ambiance: not a white tablecloth type place, but still classy. The service: quite on point, although we had some trouble getting the attention of the servers when we needed serving spoons for a few dishes we wanted to share. The food: Well prepared and tasty. The heat was toned down a fair bit, likely to better match the local palette, and the sweetness was a tad higher than what one would have in India. One comes to the sister restaurant of a James Beard award winner with high expectations. While I had no complaints about the food, I did not find the dishes had much of a twist or being particularly inventive. While this kind of an Indian restaurant, that has a specific focus on street food, may be a novelty in the ATL area, this is not that much of a novelty from a global perspective. Most of the dishes were good. The two exceptions were the naan (I’ve had better at many Indian restaurants) and the gulab jamun (excessively sweet). The verdict: if you’re craving Indian food that is skillfully cooked and tasty, this is great! If you’re looking for some inventive Indian food, then this is not going to meet that expectation."
