Everything was really great! We had quite the variety of dished including the chicken curry, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, lamb saagwala and the kashmiri roganjosh. The standout was the lamb saagwala. Highly recommend! You can't go wrong with any of the dishes. The service was good. We were the only table there so everyone was very attentive. Overall, good quality, great service, reasonable price for the neighborhood.
