When ordering my thali, both vegetarian options had elements that I am allergic to (apples on one, figs on the other.) After asking the server what my options were, he gave me the choice of either leaving out that part of the thali, replacing it with a different one, or leaving out the allergen from the specific dish. I took the risk and left out the figs from the raddicio/pumkin seed salad and was not disappointed. Even though the taste was probably different than what the Chef had intended, the taste was still amazing.

My favorite element of my thali was either the corn cakes with goat cheese, or the fingerling potatoes with mint and rosemary. My rosemary lemonade was also delicious.

For dessert, I had the bittersweet chocolate with ginger and cashews and my partner had the goat cheese pudding. Sounds weird- but both were so delicious.

It felt like a game- trying each dish on the plate and trying to guess exactly what was it in.

Overall- great experience, albeit a little bit pricey, but that's what I was expecting. Afterall, all the ingredients are local and seasonal (the herbs are grown on site.)

I would highly recommend Poppy- it's a great option especially for vegetarians.

The appetizers are tasty and cooked to order. If I went again, I'd probably just order appetizers.

They serve some nice beers.

Cons:

Overpriced for what you get.

All of the food on the 'thali' plate was served at room temperature. I can't believe you can get away with this and have people pay $$$.

The Indian-inspired menu is bland. Real Indian food has much more flavor and spirit.

The appetizers and mixed cocktails are very expensive. I didn't try any of the cocktails, but I'm guessing they're good.

The restaurant is noisy, and you sit in uncomfortable chairs around a Formica-topped table. Grade C for atmosphere.

The food breaks you out of your old way of eating, the flavors are right on, I could eat and eat and eat, more please, keep it up and you will have me back many more times. Coctails are new and tasty, go, eat, drink, you will not be disapointed!

THE DRINKS!!!! So good. So strong. So interesting. Get the one with coconut water and curry leaves. It's to die for.
