When to visit: Prime-time weekends for full party energy, weekdays for calmer.

Insider tip: Book later seatings for the loudest, most celebratory room and cocktail energy.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Bleecker and adjacent blocks is limited, especially after 6pm; rely on nearby paid garages on Lafayette or West 3rd.
Dress code: Smart casual with a festive lean—jeans are fine, but most guests dress slightly elevated for the party theme.
Noise level: High—this is a lively, music-forward room where conversation requires speaking up.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak party hours.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though the restaurant is quieter and less theatrical at this time.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong selection—paneer dishes, chaat, and vegetable curries are well represented.
Vegan options: Moderate—several chaat and vegetable options can be made vegan; ask for guidance.
Gluten-free options: Many curries are naturally gluten-free, and staff can advise on safe breads and preparation.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a fun, high-energy setting; less ideal for intimate, quiet conversation. It works well for playful dates who enjoy bold flavors and a theatrical room.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes for early evenings or weekdays, but expect a wait during weekend peak hours. Walk-ins should be prepared to hang at the bar or explore nearby spots until a table opens.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally suitable for older kids or teens who enjoy flavorful food and lively settings; the nighttime party atmosphere may feel overwhelming for very young children.
Best For
Better for: Larger groups, celebrations, and guests looking for theatrical ambience alongside approachable North Indian classics.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, ultra-regional cooking, or a tasting-menu-style experience—nearby Indian spots with calmer dining rooms may be better fits.
