So the service was great! Really kind people. The only thing was my chicken tikka the sauce was good but the chicken itself when you bite into it it was very very dry almost hard to eat. The honey butter chicken was good. Nothing special

I go fairly often, the food is very good and it’s close. BUT literally we got wrong entrees in my last 4 visits. Why can’t the waitresses just write down the order? I had high hopes bc we had a NEW waitress but nope entree was wrong. 25 minutes wait while the kitchen remade the order. These are basic, straight off the menu food entrees. Tandoori chicken. On the plus side - about a month ago when my order was wrong I did get to try the tandoori salmon-which was delish!-...

Great local spot, friendly staff and great food. Be sure to order over the phone or in person for best pricing (as is true with many restaurants). Compared to other local spots, the pricing was very reasonable and the portions were great.
