About

Amaani at the Pumphouse is a hit for its flavorful, generous portions of Indian cuisine. Most diners rave about the quality and the unique, historic setting. However, service can be hit or miss, especially during busy holidays like New Year's Eve. While many find the staff lovely and fast, others have faced long waits and poor organization. It is a solid spot for a curry, but maybe avoid the peak rush if you want a relaxed night.
