What User likes about Guru:
This was my second time dining at Guru and it was delicious! The naan was exceptional and the service was attentive and fun. The employees have a great sense of humor and the restaurant is very family friendly. I can't wait to go back again. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Guru:
This restaurant is not good. Despite being marketed as an Indian restaurant, the food is overly sweet and it seems they use sugary sauces in their dishes. The overall taste of the food is lacking and quite ordinary. The service is average. View all feedback.
