    We loved the food and the smaller bar selection of wines made it an easy choice. We enjoyed the Chicken 65, Sambar and chicken tikka masala with some garlic naan. The only issue we had was one large group with a drunk person not able to control their voice and kids with electronic devices with the sound on. If that group wasn’t there, everything would’ve been great, so it was an anomaly. We will be back.

    We went for lunch on a Sunday morning so it was fairly quiet. The food was good. Wait staff was very nice. I plan to come again. My only suggestion is to change the information on the menu. The menu just lists the dish names. There is no description on what is in the dish. If you are not familiar with Indian food you will have no idea what’s what. And even if you are somewhat familiar there are so many regions in India that there are so many different regional dishes that there is a good chance you will not know what half the dishes listed are. It also doesn’t state what is included with the entree (rice, naan, etc). If you updated the menu with descriptions and details it would be super helpful.
