Mixed thoughts

Food was good , went twice. I was underwhelmed with service both times, which made me decide not to go again after the second time.

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: Long waits, Service sucked

Delicious Vegan Options

Knowledgeable wait staff. Many of the dishes can be made vegan, just let the server know. We enjoyed the Amazing Bengan Aloo Masala and Savory Channa Saag at the restaurant and took home an order of the Classic Vegetarian (made Vegan) Biryani for the next night. Food was delicious. There was an influx of patrons and only 2 servers so have some patience as the wait is worth it.

Pros: Variety of vegan options, Quality taste, Good serving sizes

Cons: A bit short-staffed which is understandable

best Indian food I've ever had

I love this place. It's probably the only restaurant I'll miss when I move. The Amazing Bengan Aloo Masala is something you must eat before you pass on. It's incredible. I have had it probably over a dozen times. I don't stray far from that, but anything else I've had there had been fantastic. The wait staff actually knows what's in the food, so feel free to ask as many questions as you feel necessary. I think these guys are fantastic.

Pros: delicious, friendly, wonderful

Cons: pricey-ish

Delicious vegan options but a bit pricey

I absolutely love this place. The minute you walk in you feel at ease in the low light and comfortable and classy decor. They have a great menu, with vegan and spicy options marked as such, which makes ordering a lot simpler.

The servers are very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful in deciding what you'd like best. They're also punctual and friendly. I've always had good service there.

Most importantly, the food is delicious. I try something different each time, and it's always amazing. The jasmine rice is fantastic, as is the gobi aloo. They also have a nice wine list, though I stick with fountain drinks.

The only downside is that it's not cheap. Not that you'd expect a cheap meal with such high quality food, ambiance and service, you just need to be ready to pay a little more for what you're getting. Entrees generally range from $11 to $15.

Pros: Excellent food, Great service/knowlegeable staff, Comfortable atmosphere

Cons: Bit pricey
