Commendable job in preparation of food and service. We understand that it is a busy restaurant, but we would like the management to pay attention to the floor. It was sticky both days that we visited for dinner. A clean floor would be reassuring to customers about cleanliness inside the kitchen as well. This is an endeavor of constructive feedback.

We stopped in at this lovely restaurant on the way through town while visiting from the Okanagan. We had a very good meal: butter chicken, lamb, veggie Korma, naan bread and rice. The service was also excellent.
August 2025
The service was also excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to recommend dishes for us to try. The ambiance was cozy, with traditional Indian decor and soft background music that added to the experience.
Highly recommend this place if you’re craving real Indian cuisine. A must-visit for food lovers
