VERY delicious food, it’s as if your grandmother is cooking. Very well crafted menu and the owner is super friendly! When you walk in, you’re just hit with the smell of spices, it just makes you more hungry. I would recommend everything - I’m a regular customer.

I'm not sure why they only have 4.5 stars when they should have 5. I will only order Indian food from this amazing place. Very clean very nicely set restaurant. Lovely owner that always remember your name and how you like your food. If you haven't tried this place I suggest you go you'll have a wonderful delicious experience.
