Great tap list, good size bar with options to sit in or outside. Pizzas were pretty average and on the small side.

Excellent experience and delicious food! First time dining here and the reviews did not disappoint. Our server provided great service and recommendations. We haven’t had a lot of Indian food and benefited from his guidance. Additionally, they take great care on providing safe gluten free options which I appreciated. Highly recommend and we will be back!
