Good service reduces anxiety of being late for performance.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe felt the food was excellentWe felt the food was excellent and had a good variety. We enjoy spices but the selction may not be good for customers who are picky and don't enjoy or tolerate spicy food. Mostly vegetable based dishes which we like.
Although the outside of the restaurant wasn't that appealing the inside was attractive. Tableclothes and comfortable seating. Open and tables not too close. I didn't llike the paper table cover over the cloth.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice spot for a mealVery nice spot for a meal before Lincoln Center.

Great service.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMBefore the ballet, we sharedBefore the ballet, we shared two dishes: the lamb saag (a long-time favorite of mine) and the chicken vindaloo. The vindaloo was a new experience for me--plenty spicy, but quite tolerable. Together the two dishes complemented each other tremendously. This is a nice, highly reliable, courteous and speedy restaurant. Good alternative near Lincoln Center. Very well-priced, if you're looking for a not-too-expensive dinner before the performance.1/23/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good Indian restaurantVery good Indian restaurant near Lincoln Center. Service is dependable, rapid and polite--not especially warm, but the front of the house is quite kind. The food is excellent--for example, I had the tropical salad and the saffron shrimp; both were delicious. Often busy, once in a while, it's really quite peaceful inside--something you don't experience often so close to the action.1/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
