I am nearly a fan of any saucy/mushy food. Thus, I was not a fan of Indian cuisine until today. Since whole fishes are my daily diet. It was exciting to find this restaurant has whole baked fish! I placed order in no time.
The order taker was very nice and made sure my fish had no added oil in any kinds and as little salt as possible or no salt at all. When I picked up my order I was very happy to see the burning fish skin because that was a sign of little oil or no...

This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and this location did not dissapoint. The staff is super friendly and gave me the best recommendations. We had the Andhra Chicken and it was delicious and fresh and right temperature. The Garlic Naan was made to perfection; soft and fresh. We also had Masala tea and it very good. We'll be coming back to try more delicious dishes. :)
