    My third time going to resturant and every time I try to eat something different. This time I tried Hyderabad Goat Dum Biryani (Chef's Special) which was goat and rice dish. The flavors were so rich and the yogurt sauce with lemon made dish pop!!

    Appetizers were good and entrees were Ok. Not the normal flavorful experience you normally have with Indian food. Also, service was very attentive but they seem to be rushing us. Rush to get orders, rush to take menus and rush to get out for next party. May give them one more chance but first impression not great.

    We did not get a good explanation about the lunch specials but the service was very good otherwise. We were warned that most of the food is naturally medium spicy or hotter by request.

    Amazing food and generous portions. The staff is great too. We ordered off of the waiter’s recommendation for the most popular dishes. Everything was delicious. I also recommend getting dessert, even if it is something new. They also have a great bar, especially for a sit down restaurant.

    We had our first experience at Lime & Lemon last night and had a wonderful time! Our waiter, Chandru (sp?), checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed and provided amazing recommendations for different options to try! We will definitely be back again.

    Lime & Lemon was our first experience with Indian food, and it was great! The staff was especially attentive and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with our table. They made great recommendations for what to order, and gave us extra rice to take home to go with our leftovers. I definitely recommend it!

    First, when I gave my last name and spelled it for him, the host said he didn’t have a reservation for me. I showed him on my phone app. He then said he’d try to find a table (for 3). When he returned I pointed out my name on his computer screen and we were seated. The food was tasty and served quickly. We ordered one round of drinks, appetizers to share, and one entree to share. Unfortunately a young staff member repeatedly asked if he could remove plates when we were not finished. We politely told him each time that we were still eating. After about an hour or so, just after my friend had paid, a manager told us apologetically that he needed the table and asked us yo leave. We felt rushed out the door. This has never happened to me before and marred the experience.

    As soon as you walk in the smell of the food hits you in the best way. My appetizer and main dishes were yummy. Sorry it was so good I forgot to take a picture. I will say the Gobi Pepper Fry is something I will be back for soon. Another special thanks to our kind server Anon.

    Food was great and service was quick, but we were asked to vacate our table / move to the bar after being there only 50min for another party even though we had a reservation and were still eating. Wish reservation had indicated it was for <1 hour when we booked.

    We met friends for a celebration and got a booth which helps with hearing. The food and service is always amazing. We ordered some favorites, Butter Chicken, a dish with goat, Saag Panner, and the cauliflower and potato dish. Our guest had not been there before and they were impressed that every dish was delightful.

    Disappointed in our meal. The "white sauce" vegetarian dinner the server recommended and said would be of "medium" spiciness, was so bland as to be tasteless. The Naan tasted like pita bread that had been soften in the microwave. My husband's Tika Marsala was ordinary at best.
