First Indian food in Santa Barbara so can’t comment on the relative ranking yet. Service was above average and food was solid. I was told not to miss the cauliflower and butter chicken and both did not disappoint. Garlic naan was average as it could have used some more ghee and garlic. Wine selection was impressive if you are looking for a large selection of central coast organic wines.

This meal was amaze. The vibe was chill and the wine list, if anything overwhelming with local and global wine. Very laid back friendly service. All the dishes we had were great, anything you order you won’t be disappointed.

Very inventive Indian restaurant. Awesome that you can get sea urchin biryani, which is a cool blend of Santa Barbara and Indian food.

good indian food with a natty wine list/shop. some of the best lamb chops I’ve had. curry had just the right amount of spice. food came out quickly. but pretty expensive for what it’s worth, $16 for the appetizer, $23 for butter chicken, an extra $5 each for basmati rice and 5 cubes of paneer… maybe i’m spoiled by SoCal.
fyi, there’s a cute & private outdoor patio in the back.

This was the best Indian food I’ve had, hands down. Ever. Butter Chicken? Superb. Coconut rice? Complex, delightful. Market Salad-unique, perfectly seasoned. Our server Kai was spot on with the recommendations. We’ll be returning!

Food is good, but pre-made. Dishes came out <10min from ordering and no substitutions allowed....Pretty obvious. But if you are having dinner later, you are talking 3-4 hrs and that is if it is made right before dinner. 95% of wines by the bottle, so not helpful if the table doesn't want the same wine. The by the glass pinot offering -only pinot offering- was ok for a natural wine. Overall, the food tasted good going in, but not as great settling. I expect made to order for anything above $12. Consider this a good fast food for delivery, but not worth dine-in.

This place has really good food. I have only been here twice because of the ambiance. The first time I went, we sat inside and they were playing electronic dance music at club volume and we couldn't have a conversation without shouting over the table. Just went last night to try it again and say outside and the music was still bizarrely loud. Everything we ate was good, but it's a place I won't keep going to because of how loud it is. I don't mind loud music when I am at a show, but for dinner, it is nice to be able to have a conversation.

The outside patio was a great vibe. The eggplant and Panir were amazing. The uni biryani was a bit bland but highly recommend the eggplant.
