Each dish was beautifully presented in little Indian bowls with warmers underneath—a lovely touch. We never felt rushed. We started with Samosas—two on each plate—small, light, and crispy, filled with delicious lamb. The Nirvana Assorted Tandoori was good, but it was my least favorite of the night. I’ve never gone wrong with Butter Chicken at an Indian restaurant, and this time was no exception. Robert recommended the Murgh Mango Chicken Tikka Masala, which quickly became one of our favorites. The Beef Jalfrezi was wonderfully spicy and incredibly tasty. We also enjoyed Saag Paneer (spinach), Saffron Basmati Rice, Garlic Naan, regular Naan, and sweet Naan. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience!
