    This upscale Indian restaurant was a great place for a group dinner. The waiter was very knowledgeable on the dishes and attentive to our group. The menu was easy to navigate with vegetation and nonvegtarian sections. We tried a variety of dishes and recommend sharing with the group family style to experience the unique flavors. Some dishes we ordered were the chili fish, paneer, butter chicken, and short rib, and the cocktails were strong. I do wish there was more protein in the nonvegtarian dishes, like the butter chicken, as they average $25-30 per dish.

    Nadu is a modern Indian restaurant with special regional foods prepared in an authentic way. The does were tasty and highly flavorful. The service was good. However, it was very noisy and the seats were close where we can hear the conversations from the other tables . Large vegetarian options and every dish was delicious. Naan was exceptionally good along with the Indian beers.

    Words cannot fully express the joy it was to spend the evening at Nadu. From the moment you walk through the door you are surrounded with a feeling of warmth and kindness. Not knowing much about Indian cuisine, I was very eager to try their food. Our waiter did an amazing job describing the dishes, in fact I could almost taste the dish from how he described them. I've travelled abroad for over 25 years and have eaten at many fine restaurants and NONE OF THEM impressed me more than the food at Nadu. Chef Krishna even came to our table to further describe the dishes. The layers of spice and flavors has to be experienced in person. Every dish was unique and complimented the dish before. After trying 5 of their entrees, (yes, I said 5😉), there is no way I could pick a favorite. I can honestly that this was the finest dining experience I have had anywhere in the world. For anyone reading this is a "foodie", don't be surprise if Nadu becomes as hard to get into as the French Laundry. I've eaten there many times and if I had choose, it would be Nadu every time. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to be transported to India on a culinary journey. Five-stars is not enough
