Waited an hour for the food, got yelled at because I asked if they don’t have the curry trays for dinner, and our garlic naan has fresh pieces of garlic instead of what they usually serve. But the food is good!
We love Indian food, and this place didn’t disappoint! Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala with naan were amazing. Prices weren’t bad for lunch—keep meaning to try the weekend buffet (I think it’s on Sunday). Interior isn’t anything to write home about, but we go for the food—service was great too.
Sorry, but the service is horrible. 3 tables in the entire restaurant. My wife asked the server if we could get our bread (which came with the meal) early. We had kids that were starving after swimming all day. The server flat out said No. " It comes with the meal". She explained her reasoning, and still got " no, I said it comes with the meal". Getting a refill on water is like pulling teeth....we also had to ask for napkins and silverware for our kids (4) (10). The food wasn't bad, but the wait time rexiculous. 15 minutes before anyone came to our table, and again, had to flag the waiter down just to get 1 refill. We left with all glasses empty...and thirsty. It just wasn't worth the hassle of getting more to drink. The food wasn't bad,, but portions small. There are plenty of Indian restaurants in the city that are great full to have business and they show it. Not this place in our experience.
