When I say this was the best meal of my life, I am not exaggerating. The Kerelan Pepper Chicken is the most unique dish I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The Chicken Tikka Masala had the perfect amount of spice, and the Hariyali Murg Tikka came out on a sizzling platter that smelled, and tasted, incredible. The owner was our server, and he provided the best service my husband and I have ever received! If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, I would.

The food was good, and the restaurant stays open late, which is convenient for tourists.
We were disappointed, though, with the handling of our vegetarian request. While ordering, we clearly mentioned we were looking for vegetarian food, yet the complimentary naan served with our curry contained eggs. When we pointed this out, the chef was kind enough to replace it with eggless chapati, but the owner insisted that all naans contain eggs and seemed dismissive of our concern.

Had a great time, food was good, atmosphere was pleasant. I don’t understand all the 1 star reviews seem targeted…., this was a great place and everyone was nice. Thank you to the staff and the chef! Will be back again!
