The food was soooo good here! I had the chicken tikka masala and it was so flavorful, and it paired with the rice really well. The garlic naan was amazing, and the mango juice I had was good as well. Can't wait to eat here again!

Every time we visit my in-laws, I try to go here for dinner. It is without a doubt some of the best Indian food I have ever had.
Typically I’ll get the chicken madras, since they don’t use dairy, medium spice level and I’ll get a side of garlic naan. We’ll also sometimes get a vegetable and meat samosa.
They also give you a type of cracker with 3 different sauces to use with it. My personal favorite...
