The DeloDelo

What an odd, unique, but fairly good experience.This is a British/Indian bar/restaurant serving Indian/American pub food. There are lots of forward slashes there. That's because it was an odd Mashup of a place.The clientele was also an odd mash-up of people. From bikers (engine) to cyclists (pedal) to out of towners and townies.The food was actually quite good. I stuck with the Indian cuisine part of the menu. The service was so-so, as they seemed lost behind the bar.They also overcharged me. They were so lost behind the scenes that I didn't feel that it was worth the effort to get back 10 bucks. Hey, I am still giving them 4 stars.Ride in, and check it out.

Stopped in for a couple drinks. The bartender was helpful. They weren't busy, and the food looked good from what I saw others get.

I absolutely love this place. It feels like someone has helped get it an all new design and it's great! I can't remember exactly what it's called but I love the curry fries. Our server April is a blast and Sheila is super awesome to talk to.

We went for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The bar was very noisy, so we sat outside. There was a party of around 10 people who were having a great time. A bit noisy too but we were impressed that we heard no profanity whatever inside or out. The food was good and we will be back.Post note: They are no longer open for lunch which is disappointing. We are seldom in town for dinner.

The Indian curry tater tots were so good. Those were the best tater tots (made in-house and roughly the size of a hush puppy!) I've ever had. The samosas and the sausage rolls were also delicious. Such a pleasant surprise this place was!

I was skeptical of going here for dinner, only because I’m a weird eater. I don’t eat meat and I feel like you gotta love a greasy burger to really enjoy the bar food experience. I was wrong. They were out of everything (except for fish and chips) because it was a Sunday evening and they don’t overbuy food since they are closed Monday and Tuesday. I love this and so appreciate they run out and limit options instead of overbuy and end up having to throw away food. So, the burger loving, meat eaters in the group, and I, all got fish and chips. Insert drool-all-over-myself emoji here. It was soooo good. Side of coleslaw, also delicious. I am a fish fry snob (from northern WI and I feel like we might be fish fry kings of the world?) and I will definitely be back for more. Great service. Seemed to have a regulars sort of vibe (which is always fun) but welcomed us weirdo outsiders. Go here if you’re in the area.

This little place has great food and a very sweet owner that we got to chat about the surrounding area with. Thanks for the tips on finding the local waterfalls!

Food and service were great. After taking a nice long hike up the mountain attractions, it was great to be met by such delicious hot food on the way down. Played a round of pool but the food came out so fast we had to speed up the game. My group and I head almost one of everything they offered and everyone in the party said their food was exceptional. Definitely stop in if in the area.

Don't judge a book by its cover. The draft beer is cold, and the chicken curry is amazing.

So this is definitely a local bar with all the glory of a good hang. BUT, the curry (veg curry and tandoori fish) and draft beers were so on point. Legit with a unique raita and naan. Fun and eclectic? Good beer selection.
