Food is so tasty and unique.Their service and hospitality were exceptional. Nandini and kajol did excellent job with their serive at our table.
Both veg and non-veg cuisine are too good to try.

Nice, local Indian restaurant. As someone who isn't good with spicy food, even the mild can be a little spicy, but I try to get past it, because there isn't another Indian restaurant to get my butter chicken fix from.
