Customer Reviews
The restaurant is nice and cozy. The service is great, they are attentive, quick, and very courteous. The food was prepared quickly and brought out promptly. The food was good but not superb otherwise it would have been worth another star. If you are close it is a good meal at a decent price. I had the chicken curry with garlic naan.
Honestly I don't really understand some of the reviews. I was really disappointed. I don't like to give bad reviews but this was not good food. I'm originally from the UK but been living in the US for 8 years has Indian food all over the US when traveling for work. Always on the hunt as us Brits do love our Indian food. This just wasn't a great experience the food didnt taste great and th service wasnt the best. Each to their own but this was a miss!
The rack of lamb (very tender!) and basil garlic naan (flavorful) were great. Everyone was on deck helping customers.
Don’t go here if you’re allergic to nuts. I talked to the staff and made sure everything I ordered was safe, and even took small bites and waited, but by the end of the meal I still ended up feeling sick. As for the food, the price as decent, the taste was okay. Bit bland and the Tikka Masala was very sweet and only came with 2 pieces of chicken. Barely any spice. The platter was overall too carb heavy. Service was friendly.
I felt this was perfect for the end of the day. Hole in the wall place that means business. Naan, Vegetable Samosas, Mango Lasse, and chutneys were on point. I also got the Chicken Tikka Marsala which was the only dish different than expectations with both flavor and texture, but still a delight in the end. I will be coming back many times. One note, they do not hold back on spice. Air on the side of caution when ordering the spice level.
