excellent food, huge portions. the samosas are really good with the chick peas. tasty food, cozy establishment.
It didn't hurt any that our server was hotter than the fresh food! 🫣😏
10/10 recommend and will definitely be back.

Terrence was an amazing server very attentive and knowledgeable about everything and gave excellent recommendations. If you have a non existent spice tolerance the mild butter chicken should be your go to !

Turmeric was amazing, the food, the atmosphere, all of it. Francisco was super helpful with picking out what we wanted to try, as we haven’t had Indian before! The butter chicken & chicken tikka was phenomenal! & the naan was also amazing! We will definitely be back!
