Overview

Like Madame X this Indian themed lounge manages to walk the narrow line between cheesy and sexy, and somehow manages to be both at the same time. Burning incence, red on red décor, pillows everywhere, waitresses in slinky silk sarongs, and Bollywood flicks on the TV all contribute to a laughably tacky, but actually quite sultry environ.
