“Great food! I was recommended to come here for a date night, which I will definitely do. However, I did take out this time. Although the quality of the food was great the amount of food that I got for the price was really a letdown. I paid $30 for butter chicken & naan and didn’t even get rice. Also the naan was $10 but only 2 slices. It would help a great deal to add more detail so customers understand what’s a part of the meal.“
