“ Everything I've had there has been absolutely amazing. I don't like things too spicy, so I tell them mild please. Everything is made from scratch and never frozen from a box. Great atmosphere and service. I went there on a day that was close to 100 degrees outside and it was pleasantly cool. If you like Indian food put this place on your list. The best I have ever had. They also deliver but I suggest to go there in person. Enjoy! ”
