"Good service & food. There is fusion Indian & typical Punjabi Indian food. We had the chat-pata bhindi which was good nicely done small pieces of bhindi without a lot of oil. The shimla mirch was not spicy but was nicely prepared - a unique dish with shredded paneer & potatoes - not heavy. The tomato mozzarella kofta was a kofta dish in a tomato based sauce, so a good change from the typical malai kofta. The pesot naan, & the rosemary & oilve oil naan were good."

"The food is extremely spicy hot, even though we asked for our food to be mild. Would not recommend it for this reason, unless we know someone really really loves spicy, hot food."

"The food was great, but it was disturbing that I had to ask the waiter if could wipe the frame near the window. It had old food on it. Normally, I would have left, but it was late and didn't feel like driving to another restaurant. It's time for this restaurant to do a thorough cleaning."

"This is our favorite Indian restaurant. Their menu is more extensive than other Indians and my go-to seafood tandoor platter is fabulous. My husband tries lots of different dishes and has never been disappointed. In the past he'd always have chicken tikka masala, but due to the menu here, he has been more adventurous. Also love the fact that I can get a great NZ Sauvignon Blanc for $6 a glass! Sometimes wish they'd put all the tables with young children on at one end of the restaurant."

"Although half of our group "does not like Indian food (mostly curry)", everyone loved this place (yes, even the self-proclaimed curry haters). There were many dishes to choose from, and even the curry dishes were liked. The dishes were well presented, and felt rather elegant, which was unexpected. Don't let the building appearance or neighbor (Jack in the Box) fool you ~ this is as good as the reviews say. Our group liked the Milk Chicken, the Tandoori lobster, and the lamb. We found that the combination dishes (both appetizer and entree) were not as good as the individual dishes (we had a chicken appetizer that was spicy and delicious ~ can't remember the name, sorry...), with the exception being the triple dessert ~ it was perfect!"
