Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of attending a Sweet 16 party at this venue, and it left us with…read morea mix of impressions, from the grandeur of the ballroom to some notable service quirks. The grand ballroom made an impressive first impression, with its tasteful lighting and well-decorated chairs and tables. However, it was noted that the absence of an elevated stage was a missed opportunity, even a modest one-foot platform could have enhanced the visual appeal of the hall. The culinary journey began with a delightful array of appetizers. The spinach fritters, accompanied by yogurt, chutney topping, and a spicy powder, stood out as a true culinary gem. The addition of this spice powder accentuated the flavors and made it a memorable dish. My personal favorite, Vada Pav, was also on the menu, and I couldn't resist enhancing its taste with a sprinkle of the spicy powder. The bar and appetizer service took place outside the hall, and here we encountered a few service hiccups. The bartender was notably absent, which led to a bit of confusion among the guests. However, a friendly waiter came to our rescue and promptly served our drinks when requested. The situation at the bar took an unexpected turn when another bartender, who seemed to be in a pleasant mood at first, began using profanity in a soft tone when asked why he wasn't present. His exact words "Get the fuck out of here" to his own co-worker - ten times in front of all the guests who are waiting in line at the Bar and in front of the guests who are getting their appetizers. This unexpected exchange, while bizarre, didn't overshadow the overall experience but left us a bit bewildered. Moving on to the main course, it was exactly as expected in a Mughal restaurant - rich and creamy, fulfilling the culinary desires of guests. The dessert spread was a highlight of the evening. The Moong Dal Halwa was a standout, leaving a lasting impression with its superb taste. The quality of the Kulfi was exceptional, rounding out the meal on a sweet note. The ambiance was elevated by a dance floor with flashing colorful lights, adding a lively touch to the event. The combination of good music, delectable food, and a pleasing atmosphere contributed to an enjoyable evening. In conclusion, the Sweet 16 party at this venue offered a blend of grandeur, delicious food, and vibrant ambiance. While the service quirks at the bar were unusual, they didn't overshadow the overall positive experience. The standout appetizers, rich main course, and delectable desserts ensured a satisfying culinary journey. The addition of the dance floor and good music added to the overall charm of the event, leaving us with fond memories of a night filled with good food and enjoyable moments.

I highly suggest you to think of alternate places. We had a horrible experience with this…read morelocation/team for our recent event of close to 200 guests. Their staff is unprofessional, rude and outright disrespectful. There is no coordination among them and you will be left calling them 6-7 times during the event. We had guests who left without eating because they didn't put the lunch out until 1:30 PM for a event that was suppose to end at 2:00 PM. I will not point to any certain individuals but will say the whole experience was regrettable. We selected this event and paid premium because we wanted to have a pleasant experience and a stress-free event, but it was opposite of that. For those who already have signed the contract or are thinking signing one. RE READ everything and get all clarification in writing because the "ok, no problem, don't worry and we will take care of it" will be of no use when things go wrong during the event.

Considering the average age of this group, she is extremely patient also. I was surprised to see Chicken Tikka Masala on the special menu. Loving Indian Food and being so curious as to how it would taste from a Spanish chef, I had to order it. It came, chicken bone in thighs were so tender, over basmati rice, the sauce was slightly different than what I'm used to, but way better than some of the local places around. Would definitely get it again. Kudos to Efron! Served with naan!

The penne was watery and flavorless, and the steak was well seasoned, but more chewy than gum (I had to cut it into micro sized pieces to even be able to eat). The dinner rolls were pretty good and the pita and hummus and pepper jack cheese served during cocktail hour were legit, so that's what I survived on. I have to give them credit that their displays were gorgeous, especially the one for dessert.

The staff is so good at what they are doing. They keep the place going amd you barely know they are around while your circulating around the room. The food is very seasoned and tasty. And for you smokers. You can outside or enjoy the cigar room. There is a few Vintage cars for show and photos. And the fancy cars are here but they were locked up. This is a very nice place. The decor is awesome. The stained wooded floors in the dining room is a fabulous touch for any affair. Downstairs is like walking though a car museum. The Dj was good. Knows his old school music for sure. The parking lot is lit up and trust me you will think it is day light. They have their own lot and it is well lit for you If your planning an event. I suggest you look into this place. I doubt you be disappointed.

Came here tonight for the first time to attend Air Supply concert…read more There is a nice parking garage right across the street from the venue. There was an attendant at the gate to help with arrival and departure, which was a great idea. Make sure you paid in the lobby before the show. $20 for event parking. The venue itself was very nice. It was just the right size to have a smaller concert. Everyone was very nice. 2 complains. The ladies' restroom ran out of toilet paper and paper towel....a big no no. And for whatever reason there was not enough AC in my section right under the balcony. People around me were fanning. Once we walked down from the section into the main floor after the concert, you could feel the temperature difference. Air Supply was amazing!
