Some of our food was good, some not so good. The mixed appetizer was not fresh - it appeared to have numerous reheated items. I'll skip that next time. The lamb dish was very greasy and the meat fatty. The flavor was good. Butter chicken flavor was good. The service was very slow and inattentive despite only a few people dining. Overall underwhelmed. Has been better in the past.
Great food! Best Indian restaurant in Tallahassee!
Visited with family and everyone had a different entree, which allowed us to share/sample multiple dishes.
We tried beef, lamp and chicken options. Everything was DELICIOUS .
Definitely will be back!
