We have been coming here for 35 years. I like the owner and we always get good service. The white wine was not so good. I would be willing to pay more for a better white chardonnary wine. Otherwise, everything else was very good.

Anniversary dinner wasn’t that special at all. I have travelled the world and eaten Indian food in countries in Asia, North America, Europe and the Caribbean and all the time are really good Indian food. This one was a failure. Meat was either not cooked or charred. Wife explained to the owner that the meat wasn’t cook properly to his response that yes it was. Disappointed end to an anniversary weekend.

The services is spectacular. The owner does it all and he is so sweet. Personally I like my butter chicken to have more spice, less sweet. It was executed well though.
