We’re already planning our next visit to explore more of their tempting menu. To top it all off, the customer service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. Highly recommend this place! ”
“ I dined here for a bday celebration and I was really impressed. The starter platter was huge and the tandoori lamb chops were some of the best Indian I ever had. The main portions were generous and the paneer naan tasted incredible. They gave us complimentary poppidoms with chutney and riata which were a really nice accompaniment. Service was super attentive and the owner even came to say hello at the end. He told us how their recipes haven't changed in about two decades, and how they use no MSG or sugar. In a world where service standards are declining these guys really do shine. Definitely coming back. ”
