  • "Curries are delicious."
  • "The food was extraordinary and you got so much of it for only $16 which is their lunch special."

Cons:

  • "Atmosphere was quite pleasant."

Cons:

  • "Tasty Indian curries place with a nice vibe - perhaps the only complaint would be an odd lack of Indian decor/representation."
  • "The waitress kept turning the lights down?? I think her boss was trying to save on his/her power bill!???..what a joke!"
  • "The Chainsmoker said that all the larger tables were for parties of 4."
  • "It’s a white washed Indian restaurant and overpriced considering where the food comes from."
  • "The only plus is on a Saturday night no problem getting a table (now i know why)."
  • "My wife still insists that table was the size of 4 postage stamps; It was more like 16."
  • "Used to love this place but the quality has fallen off a cliff."
