Wow! Really good! Lamb vindaloo and chicken tikka masala at our table and it was amazing. I had mine spiced to medium to hot - I live in Mexico and love spice - but it was spicy! It was still really tasty. My husband’s medium spiced chicken was perfect. And the naan was sooooo good! The people were lovely, the chef came out and offered me yogurt when I mentioned that it was really spicy!!
