They hit the mark on service, atmosphere, and excellent food. It was a top 3 dining experience for me in the Western Suburbs, and I’ve been living here for 10 years. We had the Mixed Tandoori Seafood platter, Samosa and Shrimp for the apps - all were excellent. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu!
