Overall an excellent experience. The chicken tikka, and especially the mint chutney to dip it in, was 5 stars and it arrived very promptly 10 minutes after ordering. But another full 20 minutes passed before the rest of our food (basmati rice, curry chickpeas, naan, roti) was served. All very good except the naan was flaky and dry. That is a deliberate style choice that I don’t agree with but others might like. Moderate noise level was another plus. So we will definitely come back.

Most of the food was really great, especially liked the Pani Puri, Dal, & lamb shank. Be warned though that there’s a 3% fee for credit card use and an automatic 20% gratuity for parties of 5 or more.
