Aditi

"Aditi, the name of an ancient goddess, symbolizes the cyclical nature of life. The Sanskrit word, Aditi, denotes abundant, joyful & unbroken creative power that sustains the universe. Colloquially, Aditi means 'distuinguished guest'.Aditi's striking interior alone makes this Indian restaurant a worthy contender. But factor in the fine cuisine, and you've got a destination that qualified for ""don't miss"" status. No matter which way you interpret, the name suits this restaurant to a tee, as you'll find out the minute you enter. The setting is a study in rich woods, soaring architectural detailing, and earth tones that bespeak the eternal cycle of life. Still, nothing is more life-affirming than Aditi's exceptional cuisine and high-energy bar scene. Indeed, the cozy bar here is a popular gathering spot for cocktails, beer and wine. Nevertheless, it's the food that steals the limelight, and considering the surroundings, that's saying a lot. The menu features appetizers, entrees and desserts representing regional cooking styles across India. What's more, meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans will all find plenty of options from which to select - all spiced to suit individual preferences. Aditi also features a marvelous Lunch Buffet 7 days a week.
