Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Excellent choice - upscale ambiance impresses without being stuffy, velvet seating creates intimate zones, and cocktail program provides natural conversation starters. Just prepare for $80-100 per couple
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weeknights possible but risky on weekends. Bar seating usually available for walk-ins with full menu. Best to reserve 2-3 days ahead for prime Friday-Saturday slots
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for young children - upscale atmosphere and spicy regional cuisine better suited for teens and up. No kids menu, limited mild options
Best For
Better for: Only authentic Andhra/Telangana cuisine in Tri-Valley, best cocktail program paired with Indian food, most sophisticated ambiance for special occasions
Skip if: You're budget-conscious (expect $40+ per person), want mild North Indian comfort food, or dining with young children - this is experiential dining focused on bold regional flavors
