We stopped by at an odd time -- just missed the buffet, which I would like to try -- but still received kind and attentive service. The food was definitely a step above the ready-to-serve kinds of places. The chicken was quite good, and I would try the tandoori dishes next time. Great atmosphere -- would be great for a gathering. Reasonably priced, too!

This place is really really good. Excellent food and superb service. Very very spacious. Ample parking and a very convenient location. But that is just the bonus. The food and service are great!! Very good choice in each category including drinks. Sam served us and the other tables around us. He was such a pleasure!! Give them a chance to be part of your dinner or lunch plans. You won't be disappointed!! You will surely enjoy the experience!! I have become a regular now at this place. Eat in, take out ornjust go for lunch or for a drink, you are in there for a treat!! The place is renovated now. Spacious and brighter from inside with a new bar!!

Went to celebrate my daughter’s thesis. It was my mother’s first time eating Indian food (84 years old). The waiter, Royston, explained all the dishes, made outstanding recommendations and shared great information. The homemade ice cream was the best!!! Cannot recommend this restaurant or our waiter more! Thank you for making the day so special and delicious.
