“Floyd’s mastery of Indian cuisine is not lost on this New American menu, potent spices dusted the french fries and were carefully worked into many of the other dishes on the menu.”
“Off the Menu”
— by Florence Fabricant, Dec 28, 2011
“Though there might be strollers coming through the doors, this restaurant is bound to be a destination, what with Floyd Cardoz, formerly of Tabla, as executive chef.”
