This is a charming small restaurant with a large wait staff. You are greeted politely as soon as you walk in the door. We hadn't been here in quite a long time and were delighted to find it unchanged. The food was delicious the naan is out of this world and the coffee was great! My husband had chicken mango and I had my favorite chicken korma....both well prepared and delicious! We hope to get there more often.

I really love this place. This was my introduction to Indian food, and I fell in love instantly. The vegetable Samosas are oh- so- delicious, I can eat them every day. I recommend this restaurant, small and quaint.
