    This is a favorite every time we visit Lincoln. We’ve found that the “south” version is just as good as Haymarket with a brighter, more open feel. The food is excellent. The menu is isbig and diverse.We haven’t worked our way through yet. The mulligatawny soup alone is worth a visit. The garlic Nan is another delicious standout. We find the spice level is genetically mild and often ask for a little hotter.

    Mostly good. Wish there had been notice of the very limited parking ( about 4 spaces behind). It’s much easier to find street parking than to negotiate that narrow space that empties into the one-way maze that is downtown LNK. Menu item “3/4 lb Alaskan King Crab with fried rice “ disappointed: crabmeat was minced and buried within the mammoth mound of fried rice. Hard to imagine it was 3/4 lbs. Other entrees were excellent; for most people just an appetizer would be enough.

    Food seemed a little off. Not exactly sure how to completely explain it, but it was happy hour and I wonder if the food maybe wasn't as fresh? Service and afmosphere still top notch, as usual.
