We had a table for two beside the lagoon. There is a great and very relaxing atmosphere with soft lighting and lots of privacy. Service was attentive. They provide bug spray to help avoid mosquito bites. We saw an alligator swim past which was very cool. The food was good, but not great, and definitely not worth the higher-end pricing.... More

Restaurant setting is beautiful .The restaurant is hidden behind the new beautiful extension of La Isla right on the lagoon. You can sit in your own hut which opens directly up to the lagoon- to watch the sunset. It is so romantic. .The food is good and service is excellent.Highly recommend a visit here.

You think- Indian food in Cancun??... Yup! It's delicious, authentic, and in a gorgeous setting. The restaurant is hidden behind the new beautiful extension of La Isla right on the lagoon. You can sit in your own hut which opens directly up to the lagoon- to watch the sunset, fish jumping, and crocodiles patrolling. It is awesome! Romantic, but also... More

I'm Indian, and I'm telling you that this is great Indian food. My friends and I popped into the kitchen to chat with the cooks for a couple of minutes, who are Indian. Excellent food. Amazing taste. Highly highly highly recommended.
