Essence of Kesar (essence_of_kesar) has made its way to becoming one of my top 3 favorite Indian restaurants. They took regional Indian dishes to a whole other level and I was extremely impressed by the flavor and care for balance in these dishes. They got very busy on a weekday evening which was great to see - just goes to show how others enjoy it. So do consider making a reservation or be on the waitlist for a while lol. Expect a higher price point. $$-$$$ Everything is halal. Chicken is by machine. No alcohol served but BYOB system.
