    Delicious food with excellent service in a casual dining environment. Everything is made from scratch and is truly authentic Indian food. The owners are very gracious and we will certainly dine here again.

    A better than average store front Indian. Food is excellent, there's a reason why they pack you in on a Saturday night! Bonus celebrity siting: Billie Jean King with overcoat on at a table next to the front door on a cold night.

    We had a really good meal here! Reasonably priced and good portions. The lamb curry and saag paneer was delish.
