I come here every week to enjoy the delicious food. I’ve met many of the employees and they care about your experience in their restaurant. Perfect place for lunch and dinner. I will continue to come and enjoy delicious food.

Came on an oddly slow Friday night. When I asked how the fish curry was cooked they brought the chef out to talk to me, don’t get that often at an Indian restaurant. He assured me the fish curry was one of their best dishes so we ordered it and malai kofta. Curry was great. Malai kofta was heavy on the tomato sauce, I’ve had it with more of a cream base that I liked better but this was still really good. Naan could use a little butter but overall a great meal.Also loved that...

The food was good but the portion size as per the price was very less.It is very accessible and located at a nice place. Overall it’s a good restaurant.Although I would say servers were not so friendly.Some food items (paneer items) were not good at all.

Vegetarian options: Paneer, veg pulao, rice, sahi paneer

Kid-friendliness: It’s a kid friendly place. Few food options are good for kids. High chair were available, i saw few kids sitting comfortably.
