    Even though it was a busy Saturday night, the food and service were excellent as usual. The portions are generous and they accommodated the spice levels requested by each member of our party. They also gave us all the boxes needed to take the leftovers home. I can’t wait to return to try some new dishes.

    As always, Lime & Lemon doesn't disappoint. The food is excellent, fresh and spiced perfectly... They will happily make it milder for you if you need that. It's going to sound odd but I'm from England where we have a lot of excellent Indian restaurants and are fussy about it as a result. As always, the service is excellent. The manager is always very welcoming and attentive, setting the tone for the rest of the staff. Our waiter last night, Rohan, was excellent. They are incredibly efficient if you need to eat before attending something else but never make you feel rushed. I would thoroughly recommend them.

    The food was stellar and the staff superb. The only tiny complaint we had was that the Christmas music--an oompa oompa constant unchanging beat for all songs that seemed like the back track to a video game--was actually pretty annoying. And I never complain about music!

    Entree was good But the dessert was disappointing. A brownie with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. First the ice cream was not creamy at all more icy. The brownie I feel was a frozen product because you can still taste the freezer burn in it. Taste of imitation chocolate ingredients? For $10+ it was dissatisfying and disappointing. I think they should consider discontinuing dessert from the menu. It just ended an other wise decent experience.

    Such a welcoming and lovely place bathed in the colors of its name! Attentive service and wonderful food. The fish was fresh and the mango lassi one of the best we've ever had. Well-stocked bar, draft beer, good wines and lively vibe.

    We arrived 10 minutes before the restaurant opened, but they graciously seated us at a table and gave us water while we waited. All of the servers that work there are so kind and friendly. The buffet did not disappoint. They had an entire section that was vegan friendly.

    The manager made room for our party of 5 on a very busy Saturday night. The service staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food&drink was outstanding.
