Amazing food, staff is professional and friendly. Chef is very humble as well. We ordered Kerala chicken fry, the voodoo chicken wings with tamarind n ginger sauce, bombay gumbo, and the masala margarita pizza. Everything was delicious and fresh, especially the gumbo and wings, finger licking good!! Thank you Chef Jay and team, we will be back for more!!
