This place was absolutely delicious. A group of 8 of us went last night and were very impressed by not only the food but the decor, atmosphere and service. This is top-notch Indian food at prices that are not quite as cheap as the local Indian joint on your block, but reasonable for what you are getting.

The food was not heavy or greasy. I started with the crispy spinach, their signature dish, and it is not to be missed! The burnt garlic chicken was great, as was the paneer (more of a cottage cheese consistency than solid blocks of cheese) and the lamb kabob. Everyone at my table was impressed with their selections and this is definitely a place you can take meat-lovers and vegetarians alike.

The atmosphere is definitely conducive to either a ladies night out or a romantic date. I will be going back very soon!
