Excellent Indian food, and tastes authentic. I’ve had many, and a lot cater to American tastes. This is true Indian, and second to my all time favorite. The Lamb Kadai is my go to, and others to note are the Vegetable Byrani, Lamb (or any meat) Rogan Josh, Saag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic naan, samosas, and raita to cool your palette. You really can’t go wrong, everything they make, they make very well.
