"If you want to smell curry or all your clothes have to dry after a fun night, mortar and pestle is the place for you. From the moment we entered, the strong fragrance from the neighboring restaurant (Curry Up Now) was unavoidable as they share the same restaurant place. The cocktails here were fantastic. The Perennials Poison and Primm's Island had a delicious combination of flavors, good amount of alcohol (Vodka, Gin and Rum) and were a great balance of fruity, tart and bitter. And the presentation and garnish for our drinks were creative and fascinating, especially the Nimbu Pani Puri, with a crisp, perfectly round pani puri shell that floated on the surface. The bartender was friendly and worked hard, although the waiting period was long later in the evening when it became more busy. In fact, after we waited for a bit when we sat at the bar, another employee went to us in front of the bar to take our drinks order, he said that the bartender was weakened (even if the place wasn't very busy). The ambience here is missing. It is a casual restaurant atmosphere where the bar is more of an afterthought... permeated with potent curry smell... At least the drinks are good."
