If you grew…read moreup in 80's and 90s in India it's kind of a restaurant that will remind you those upscale dining restaurants we would go with the entire family. The grilled item would be extremely buttery, and the gravy would be creamy so it reminded me of my old days in Bombay. Fun fact we visited when my dad was here so he never felt away from home. Service wise, a good place to relax after work on Friday with huge selections of alcohol and Indian beer.

Great Indo-Chinese food - had the gobi manchurian, honey chilli potatoes and the vegetarian…read morenoodles. The gobi manchurian in particular was delicious. My dining partner had the Kerala fish curry and was also pleased. Perhaps because of the combination of food we ordered, we felt super heavy and nauseous for the subsequent few hours. In light of our experience, I would recommend ordered one or two Indo-Chinese dishes with something much lighter, perhaps a salad or a raita. The ambiance reminded us of Indian restaurants from the 80s: white tablecloth, red cloth napkins, characterless art etc. The servers were polite and service was prompt. Ample parking was available when we visited the restaurant, but it also relatively accessible via public transport. Overall, the food was on the pricier end, but good Indo-Chinese food is hard to come by in the city, so we will definitely return.

We got a table right away and ordered a vegetable samosa, something we love. It came out right away and it was so delicious. They were brought out with some sauces that elevated your plate. The samosa was a bit spicy but the many flavors paired so well together. For dinner I got the chicken tikka masala and my boyfriend got the butter chicken. We added the garlic naan and rice to our plate. The chicken tikka masala was very delicious. You can taste all the different spices in the dish. I love garlic and the garlic naan did not disappoint. It has such a great garlic taste and it was perfect for dipping in here masala sauce. The butter chicken was so buttery. It tasted very similarly to the chicken tikka masala though. Not pictured was our mango lassi. My boyfriend ordered it for us and in was pleasantly surprised. It's like a mango yogurt drink. It has a velvety texture and it was very flavorful. I would definitely get it again. Ultimately, I'd love to come back and try other items in the menu.

Dumplings are always going to taste better fresh versus 30 minutes later after delivery. While I think the other menu items taste fine, the momos are in a league of their own.

I had to drive around the block twice, but was able to find a real spot. Lucky I did because I saw them giving out traffic tickets as I was walking back! We really enjoyed our whole meal. Among the curries, the buttered chicken was my favorite, followed by the saag paneer. The chana masala curry (chickpea and spinach) was good, but probably my least favorite. The mac and cheese was excellent and so was the fried chicken (leg thigh)! My husband and daughter enjoyed the cornbread too. Overall, the food was great. Unfortunately most of the curries were a little too spicy for my daughter, but she loved the fried chicken and mac and cheese. We'll definitely be ordering from here again. I don't think we'll ever dine in though, it is more of a fast causal place. It is pretty cramped inside, with very limited seating.

SO glad we went there-- nobody else in the group had been there before, so RC now has a few more regulars.
