I haven’t eaten Indian food in a while but my wife had a craving. We went inside and they had remodeled since last we were here, it’s gorgeous now. The food was excellent and I can’t wait to come back.

We had the palak paneer and chicken tikka masala, and the food was absolutely amazing! Our server, Prince, was the kindest and friendliest ever, and was so attentive! We will definitely be back!

My mother and I had dinner here on Christmas Eve. And, in spite of the stress the holiday must place on service workers, our server “Vik” was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Always great food and an over all worthy experience.
