I'm not a big Indian food guy but Mughal has very good food at a reasonable price. Butter Chicken and Saag Paneer are top notch. Garlic Naan the best though it loses its warmth quickly so order one at a time. I've been here with family and friends and they all echo my sentiment. If you like Indian food but have family or friends who are hesitant, bring them to Mughal. They'll be converted.
