Great location for veteran Indian food lovers, or people just trying it out for the first time. Had a large variety of dishes, & options for vegans, spice-intolerant people, or spice loving people.

I am in love with this restaurant!!!! Everything was beyond delicious!!!! The manager did a great job serving our group of 19 people! It was a lot of work! We got there almost to the end of their lunch hours, and they received us incredibly! They never rushed us! I highly recommend this place. They have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Ah and the price is very reasonable! They have special pricing for lunch!
