  1. Why does this food look like every other fine dining restaurant ever? I see very little that makes it "Indian".

  2. Michlien star means it suit the western way. Because Michlien guide doesn't have any idea about indian food. It is just food which suits westerners..

  3. Re: ginger strength–Instead of buying regular ginger, buy organic OR go to china town and buy what they call 'small ginger'. It's WAY stronger.

  4. All these is absolutely unnecessary, not authentic at all, and just 100% show off, and how can i forget, exorbitant pricey. NOT INDIAN…….

  5. Contrarion View: this has nothing to with India, Michelin Stars mean absolutely nothing. This not authentic, and is not food the average Indian would eat. Authenticity & Simplicity matter the most to me. 🤷

  6. was here during the indienne x catbird seat collab and was absolutely blown away – one of the most memorable and delicious meals! still thinking about that chicken katli

  7. So for an indian restaurant to get a michelin star, they have to make fusion cuisne? Most of this is not traditional indian cuisine. Nothing against fusion cuisine but lets call it what it is. Its not authentic indian food.

  8. i thought there would be pajeet jokes here on the comment section, my bad its only on insta and twitter ig
