    My husband and I tried this for the 1st time Sat. night and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was authentic and serviced family style so sharing is easy and a chance to try different things. The waitress was very nice and gave some good suggestions. We took home leftover snap had it the next day fro lunch and still really yummy. We will definitely go back . Fun place to go with a few couples that like to try new flavors !

    We have really been enjoying dining here. The food is very fresh and it is less heavy than I find many Indian meals. They also have many more selections than I usually see and some very tasty and differnt flavor combinations. Absolutely worth a visit.

    I was reluctant to go given some of the reviews about poor service. The food was quite delicious and they have a wide variety of naan bread to choose from. Service was friendly and attentive

    We have been here several times and always enjoy our meals. The staff is very helpful in helping us pick what to order. It's a very comfortable place and BYO to boot.
