"Unfortunately, this restaurant didn't live up to our expectations. The starter was very disappointing, tasting burnt. We decided to play it safe and order one entree and try that before ordering something else. However, the chicken tikka was bland and the nan bread was more like a thick cracker; not the fluffy nan bread I've had from every other Indian restaurant. The noise level was too high and the music was very lively it was trying to be more like a lively bar than an upscale Indian restaurant. The surroundings were lovely and the prices are reasonable for the location. However, I'd have difficulty recommending eatery to anyone."

Fabulous food. Hummus platter is a must as a starter. Delicious entrees. Wonderful ambience and service.

Food and cocktails were excellent! Only complaint: The curry came with a small bowl of rice and a refill was $5. I would recommend factoring in the added rice to your price expectations.

"We were there celebrating two birthdays. Our server Faith was wonderful. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a table of 6 and ordered quite a bit of food, some of which was great and others lackluster. The bao buns were great and the small calamari salad was huge and those who had it said delicious. The spareribs were good as well as the edamame dumplings, although the way those were served made it hard to fully enjoy. Each dumpling should be on a individual type spoon so you can enjoy the soup part as well as the dumpling. The way they were served in one large bowl with only one spoon made it so the soup part is left at the bottom. I did request extra spoons from the expediter but they never came. The worst part of our appetizer course was somehow an item was switched to another in the computer and served to us. It had shellfish in it and that wasn’t known when someone at our table who doesn’t eat shellfish ate it. The sashimi was good but the tuna tartare thing was really bad. The entrees we had were the duck, which I was told was delicious, the miso cod, which was fishy, the whole fish which was tasteless, the lobster fried rice, which was okay but lacking flavor. The best dish was the black pepper beef, it was delicious and elegantly served. We had all the sides and all were quite good especially the eggplant and the wasabi mashed potatoes. It was a nice evening but it felt a little stale for a Starr restaurant."
