Only one other table was occupied when I walked in.The food was alright. Didn 't blow my mind, but also not the worst. I ordered the chicken tikka masala (mild which was was pretty flavorful. The portion size was decent. At first our server only gave us 1 plate of rice for 2 people, and we ended up having to ask for more.The garlic naan was also just ok. I can 't get chicken tikka masala without garlic naan so it was a non-negotiable for me, but I 've had better.The service here is pretty much nonexistent.

He did come by a couple times to check on us and clear our empty plates, but I think it would be better if someone stayed at front of house at all times. It just looks bad and unprofessional to have the front of house vacant, you know?A handful of customers came in to pick up to-go orders during the hour or so that I was eating there. I guess most of their customers get take-out, which might explain the below-average/low-effort service.Don 't forget to check in on Yelp to claim the free dessert coupon. Our server another guy from the back (possibly a second server? had to come and ask us about the Yelp coupon, like they had never heard of it before. But they also didn 't give us a hard time with it or refuse to honor it. Just a heads up in case you want to use the coupon.

My biggest issue was the server couldn't answer questions about the difference between food options on the menu, which makes it challenging if you're working with dietary restrictions. I'm not sure if I'd return but the food was ok.Metered street parking available.
