Don't be swayed by negative reviews about the service - my experience at this restaurant has always been fantastic. The Indian food here is top-notch, with perfectly balanced spices. I've been here six times and have never had a complaint about the food. Trust me, you should definitely give this place a try if you enjoy spicy dishes.
We love this place. We've only ever ordered takeout and we do our own brown basmati rice at home. We order about 10 things each time to ensure plenty of leftovers. Our favourites are butter chicken, lamb vindaloo, dal makhni, dal fry, channa masala, chicken tikka masala, kadai lamb, buna gosht, chicken vepedu, beef coconut fry, beef curry. Make sure you ask for spicy if you like it hot our kids can eat the vindaloo otherwise.
Food and service were both great. We ordered Paneer Butter Masala and Masala Dosa. Both the dishes were flavorful and appropriately spiced. The ambiance was inviting, though it can feel cramped if crowded. The girl who served us was always smiling and welcoming.
The food at this restaurant is fantastic. My wife and I had the lamb vindaloo and butter chicken lunch special along with a couple of chai teas. It was affordable, quick, and absolutely delicious. The service was also very fast.
I visited this restaurant for the first time today and it was truly one of the best South Indian experiences I've ever had. I ordered the Chettinadu Chicken curry, a favorite of mine back in Chennai, and to my surprise, it tasted just like home. I ended the meal with a homemade mango kulfi recommended by the chef, and it was delicious. I will definitely be adding this restaurant to my list of favorites.
