Great tasting Indian cuisine. Must try the Poori and Bhatura. The Garlic Naan and Hot Mango Wala chicken is delicious. Most importantly the portion size is really good.

I wish the interior has some bright lights.

It was the only Indian cuisine in the town returning from mackinaw island.

Vegetarian options: We tried samosa chat and I would like to give 5 star. It was good appetizer.

Parking: Lots of parking available near to the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: We had one kid with us. They took care of us very well.
