    Went here for a solo lunch date after ordering to-go a few weeks prior. I saw it was quiet in the afternoon and felt like it was a great place to sit and enjoy some lunch in peace midweek. I ordered the chicken tikka (medium spice) and it was on the hotter side. Very tasty though. Generous servings and good vibe in here. I got a roti on the side and they are crispier than I’m used to but still delicious. Overall a good lunch with plenty of left overs.

    I have been to this place about once a month for the better part of a year. Consistently amazing. Very attentive service with a nice atmosphere. Food is great every time! The staff and cooks here really do an amazing job. Also, the complimentary ice cream at the end always makes my day! Thanks for being awesome!
