The Scene
Cocooned by saffron-yellow and pomegranate-red walls and a cobalt-blue ceiling, the bi-level dining room makes a single, overt gesture to its Indian roots: a statue of Shiva. Otherwise, crisp linens, gold-accented windows, oversized flatware and hand-blown glass fixtures complete the feel of exotic luxury. A midnight blue-tiled bar and cherry wood wine rack hide the kitchen from view.

The Food
The menu is infused with imagination--mixing east and west without traditional Indian cuisine's spicy heat. A parchment-light pastry appetizer filled with cumin-scented tomato coulis and plenty of crab meat earns applause. But the entrees elicit a decidedly more lukewarm reception. Smoked lamb with spiced blackberry, filet mignon with toasted almond and duck breasts in seven spices, all prove most interesting conceptually. Desserts are miniscule in proportion, but what the creme brulee lacks in size it makes up for in texture.
