Since it’s a small restaurant, I don’t know if it’s always loud but the party seated next to us were obnoxiously loud. Otherwise, the service was excellent and the food was fine.

Nice discovery while looking for local Indian food. Service was excellent and the “host” recommended a nice combo for my friend and me. Variety of beer and wine added to the experience. Highly recommend for food, service and general ambiance.

We had lamb vindaloo, butter chicken, baigan ka salan (eggplant), with basmati rice and butter naan. With Taj Mahal and Flying Horse beers, it was a perfect lunch.

The food was very good. The staff was friendly and took good care of us. I can't eat very spicy food and they made it mild for me, I really enjoyed the experience.
