“Was craving Indian food and my fellow yelpers came thru again! This place is pretty good. I had the butter chicken, the serving was just right for me, and it came with rice. It was nice little place, it was a bit cold inside, but not too bad. The garlic naan was the reason for the 4 stars, it wasn't as good as I had elsewhere and the serving was pretty small. But overall. It wasn't that bad and I will most likely come here again when I am in the area.“

“The food was delicious. The naan was especially good, it was cooked perfectly. I recommend to try the chili garlic prawn appetizer, I finished everything that was on that plate. The onion kulcha we ordered is not pictured but was very good as well. If you like rice with a bit of lemon/lime, try the butter chicken biryani. The service was very good from two of the staff (a waitress/bartender and a main cook). We were close to closing time, however they still served us very well and made some of the dishes completely fresh. On top of that they were respectful of us preferring to sit inside and not near the hookah. It may look like a small restaurant from the outside, but it is very spacious. The framed art is cultural and not random, which I thought was a nice touch.“
