Despite some negative reviews regarding customer service, the Indian restaurant in Carlisle remains a favorite spot for delicious meals. The food, including curry, biryani, cauliflower side, and starters, received high praise for taste and quality. Portion sizes were satisfying, and the variety of dishes pleased a group of six diners. While some encountered abrupt and unpleasant staff, others found a warm welcome and excellent service for special occasions like birthdays. Overall, the restaurant continues to attract customers with its flavorful cuisine, making it a top choice for a tasty Indian meal in Carlisle.
