Their fish tandoori was incredible. The fish was so tender and cooked perfectly. The texture was just right and the green sauce it came with made it that much better. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a bit spicy as well. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Indian medium spicy and it was just the right amount of spicy for me. The chicken was soft and tender and the curry sauce itself was very flavorful. It came with a good portion of rice and I had the garlic cheese naan on the side. I drove an hour out of my way on my road trip because I was craving Indian food, and this place definitely did not disappoint. I will stop by again for sure when I am back in the area. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They have awesome music videos playing which adds to the overall atmosphere. The restaurant is decorated very tastefully and the bathrooms were nice and clean. Overall I recommend Sangam Indian Cuisine for anyone craving delicious Indian food like I was!

Unfortunately, because it was a Sunday night, almost everything was closed. Driving down the main drag, we saw a couple cars full of people parking and walking to a nondescript entrance. "The Cumin." Hmm.. I ordered the Rogan Josh and hubs ordered the chicken madras. We split the cumin basket (3 different kinds of naan). Had I known this restaurant was here, I would have driven down from Matarangi every day during my stay! The lamb was incredibly tender, the sauce was complex with layers of flavor and spice that blended so nicely together. The naan was perfectly chewy. Honestly, it's some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Service was excellent and friendly, prices were the lowest we've seen (especially for the quality of the food), and the restaurant itself is nicely put together. I highly recommend!

In any event, I wouldn't recommend this place for a romantic date night or any other such occasion where you are looking for atmosphere (in addition to good food). Clearly, there was no professional decorator put to work in this place. However, if you can get past the mundane decor, the food was actually really good. We started with veggie samosas, which were warm and cripsy with a tasty tamarind dipping sauce. I also ordered up a mango lassi, because it was really hot outside and I wanted something cool and refreshing to drink. It was a little thicker consistency than ones I've had in the past, but it did not disappoint me. I had the dal fry, medium spicy. It was delicious and spiced just right. My husband asked for chicken vindaloo, "hot spicy." The server asked, "Indian spicy?" and my husband said, "Yes." Now, usually, he is still disappointed with the level of heat. However, he commented over and over that this vindaloo was "just right" in spice level and really tasty. I am not an eater of food that spicy, and he tells me sometimes restaurants over spice at the expense of flavor. This was not the case here. We will definitely come back here. Again, not for an special occasion, but when we're in the mood for good Indian food.
