    The restaurant has no ambience but that was the least of why we disliked it. The owner was rude. There is no liquor so he suggested we go to a nearby liquor store to get wine. He did manage to “find” a bottle of wine he said other patrons left behind. But it was downhill after that. The salmon kebab was over cooked and tasteless. The half tandoori chicken was also dry. The owner continued to be rude. There was a bit of a mixup when we paid the check and instead of being polite he nastily said he didn’t understand what we were saying. He also told us that we did not give enough of a tip based on the wine he provided. We will never go back there and I suspect he won’t remain open for very long.

    Food is consistently good for 30 years due to owner supervision. New location is not as intimate and warm as previous site.
