The best Indian food we have ever eaten.! Tender fish and chicken. So flavorful! All around, we loved the drinks……wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic. The rice was perfect. The dessert was refreshing. Nice white tablecloths made the restaurant seem elegant. Our server was great. We could not have asked for more. Except, maybe, a cleaner restroom. Other than that, it was perfect! 😋
