The food is good. People are very nice and friendly. However among all the food available, I have to say Baingan barta is always bad. It always has burnt smell and almost impossible to eat. I have added 2 times randomly to check maybe it was a one time issue. However its not! Im mainly writing this to inform the hotel management if they look at my comment, the chef should be notified and definitely changed.

Food was alright for a campus setting. Definitely not the best Indian food in town, but it pretty affordable and quick. Certain menu items like dosa are inconsistent in their availability. Spice level also really fluctuates.

I ordered the butter chicken and rice with a side of garlic naan. It was delicious! The chicken was perfectly tender and so flavorful! The naan bread was amazing, and was somehow even better smothered in the sauce from the chicken! It was a a very good amount of food as well, for only $15!
Will definitely be back!
