Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited in Tribeca and fills up quickly at night; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy—jeans are fine, but most guests lean polished for a night-out vibe.
Noise level: Moderate to loud in the evenings; conversation is possible but expect a lively, social soundtrack.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, especially after 7pm
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or a short one
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several vegetable-forward small plates and mains make this an easy pick for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited—some starters can work, but the menu isn’t fully vegan-friendly without modifications.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free dishes available, but cross-contact is possible—best to confirm with staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want energy and drinks. It’s more fun and flirty than intimate, so it works best for a casual, social first meet rather than a quiet conversation-heavy date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes, especially early evening or on weeknights. Later dinners and weekends are tougher—bar seating is often the easiest fallback.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really. The vibe, menu, and pacing are geared toward adults; better suited for teens than younger kids.
Best For
Better for: Cocktails, shareable plates, and a buzzy night-out atmosphere compared to more traditional Indian dining rooms.
Skip if: You’re looking for classic regional Indian cooking, quiet ambiance, or a full, comfort-focused dinner—there are stronger options nearby for that.
