" If you're looking for a fine dining experience with a touch of modern Indian flavors, Ettan won’t disappoint you. The decor sets a sophisticated vibe, perfect for a romantic dinner or a classy outing with friends. I particularly enjoyed the sesame leaf dish which was a delightful surprise! However, the portion sizes are quite small relative to the price tag, so prepare to share if you're with a group. Overall, a lovely experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I entered Ettan, I was enamored by the decor and ambience. It’s a beautiful place to have a leisurely dinner. My group ordered a variety of dishes, and while some were hits, like the sesame leaf and jackfruit sliders, others didn't quite hit the mark, feeling overly creative for our tastes. Service was excellent, but just be aware of the smaller portions relative to price. " (*Curated Review*)

" The prices at Ettan might seem high, but you definitely pay for the experience. Each dish is crafted with care, but be warned, the portion sizes are quite small. I wasn't fully sold on the authentic flavors of the dishes we chose, but their interpretation was creatively presented. The ambiance is lovely, perfect for intimate gatherings or dates.
