Fantastic food and service. We have been going here for years now and their dishes have consistently been full of flavor with good portion sizes. Their butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are particularly outstanding and my go-to for most trips here. Always a great experience with the owners and staff, who are kind and friendly. Highly recommend!
