Wow wow wow. I have had Indian food from all over the US, and this is some of the best I have ever had… if not, the best! Perfect paneer, delicious curries, great portions, and wonderful service. They deserve all the praise!

My husband and I were thrilled. It's delicious, it's unbelievable. We ordered the dal soup, prawns, lamb and curry chicken. We asked for everything not spicy. The soup was not spicy at all and was very tasty. The rest of the spicy dishes were just perfect, a little spicy. Thank you to your chefs. Highly recommend this place.
