Holy flavor! If you like Indian food this place needs the be on your go to list! We decided to give this place a try for dinner during our Saturday family adventure and fell in love after trying their Chili Chicken appetizer. It provided a sweet tangy twist to our soul. Since I love to turn up the heat, I went with the Mushroom Beef for my entrée while my wife went with a Chicken Vindaloo. Both were amazing. Mine had the perfect amount of spice and the portions were ideal. Let us not forget about the garlic naan bread... we totally grabbed another order of it to go. The staff was super friendly and ready to help you with your order. Definitely was a excellent experience to come here.

The food was amazing, I asked for recommendations because I was on the fence about a few menu items and I'm very pleased with what I ordered. The waiter was great and had amazing service the whole time I was there. I have ordered delivery from here several times and ate in person 2-3 times, each experience was phenomenal!
