Great Service and AMAZING food! Jaspal Uncle Ji offers great hospitality to all customers!

The service was great and they took care of us so well! If you can’t handle spice then you can ask for mild, and the food was just delicious. The only thing that felt off was the music wasn’t playing so it felt too quiet, but it ultimately didn’t matter
