Polash was accompanied on the sitar by Anjana Roy. They were courteous and accommodating in providing music for a black tie dinner that I hosted in Bronxville, NY. I would engage them again if the need arises and would highly recommend them to you. Best.

Polash and his sitarist partner played extremely captivating music at our wedding. They worked really well with us to get our song recommendations and recreated those songs expertly for our walk down the aisle. It was truly wonderful working with Polash and friends.

Polash and Abhik, were absolutely amazing at our wedding reception! Thank you so much Polash and Abhik! My wife and I, and all of our family were very pleased, one guest even commenting that the music was "mesmerizing". We would love to see you perform in a concert setting sometime so we can sit down and really take it in. Thanks again for making our wedding day very special.

I can’t describe how wonderful and thoughtful Polash and his partner were. They provided great music, sound quality and let us borrow their microphone for a minute. They made our party even more perfect. Huge thanks to them both. I highly recommend booking Polash and would hire them again.

Mr Gomes (tabla) and his colleague (sitar) played at our wedding reception. They set a lovely romantic mood for our cocktails at our reception. They are also very flexible and very easy to work with. Although we had a slight delay in paying them on the day of the reception they waited patiently after they were done playing and did not complain about it all! They are very generous. Thank you Mr Gomes, it was a pleasure working with you.
