I would give this a 100 out of five stars! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want Great Indian Food! Their honey ginger naan bread is quite is so flavorful and delicious. I had the goat curry with basmati rice, Pakodas, and Samosas. Some of the tastiest in my experience. My wife and son shared the chicken tikka masala over basmati rice and a mango lassi, which was one of the best we’ve ever experienced. If you are driving through Newport and enjoy the great flavors...
