Delicious use of spices snd herbs. Wide range of authentic Indian dishes. Satisfying and feeling healthy. Men’s room needs cleaning! Don’t come for the atmosphere but for the flavors and home style Indian cooking.

The food is prepared quickly, and the staff is friendly and accommodating, although the service can sometimes be lacking.
