They have a great lunch special, $19.95 for the vegetarian option, which comes with an appetizer, an entree, nann, daal, and rice. My lentil soup and chana masala were more spiced than I usually get at an Indian restaurant in the city - it tasted homemade.

The service was great as well. They were attentive and accommodating to what I needed.

Regarding the bathroom, you are able to wash your hands in the back past the kitchen.

My go-to choice when I want Indian food for dinner! Very great special that includes an appetizer, entree, and naan. I’ve only done take out but they have a dining room too. Great restaurant!
