We stopped her for dinner during our New England road trip. The restaurant is set in a charming historic town. We opted to dine outside. The food and ambience were good. We ordered the veggie appetizer sampler and the vegetarian Thaali, along with mango Lassi. The staff were friendly.

This is my favorite restaurant in the area, period. Not just Indian, period.

I think I have tried everything on the menu for the most part, and my wife gets the same thing every time. It’s great in there to get a beer too and the managers are super cool, shoutout Jaz!

In my opinion their best 3 dishes:
Keema Curry
Lamb Rogan Josh
Chicken Saag

My wife gets Chicken Tikka Masala and the Kashmir...

Tonight was my first visit but it definitely won’t be the last. The house special basil and coconut tandoori chicken was the star of our meal but everything was hot, fresh and delicious . The service was friendly and prompt, the owner was sociable and kept a close eye on all parts of the business to ensure everything went smoothly. Parking was easy and there was also a full bar!
