I came here two weeks ago with my wife, my 4 year old and my new born baby. From the moment we stepped in, we felt a wonderful warm energy which was extended by the smiles and accommodation of the staff. As someone who enjoys Indian food a lot, I have to say this is my new favourite Indian restaurant and my favourite Indian food. You could taste the love and care in every bite. We enjoyed it so much that last night I invited my parents there as well and we stayed the whole evening to enjoy the food and energy of this place. 5 stars all around. I will definitely be recommending this place and coming back many times. Many blessings to the staff and management.

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
