Great place probably one of the best meals I’ve had so far this year, prices are reasonable and the service was so quick. I went on a Friday night and within 30 mins I ordered, had my food, and paid- you can’t beat speed like that. I had the butter chicken and the sauce was very thick- I ordered not spicy and I think I’ll be able to take my family members here that are sensitive to spice.

My new favorite restaurant.

A suggestion to the management - two times I have eaten at your restaurant - both times seated in the room that didn't have the bar. Your floor to ceiling windows on the Erie side of the room are nice but when I am seated with my facing the window the outside light is bright and it is difficult to see the face of the person across the table from me. They appear as a silhouette. It would be nice if you had some shade that could...

Great spot to get delicious Indian food at an affordable price! The bhatura was really soft and flaky and with 6 spice levels you can certainly get the spiciness that's just right for you. I'd highly recommend checking out this new restaurant!
