This establishment is phenomenal. Consistently delivers on kind, professional service and outstandingly delicious food. It is the best Indian cuisine in the Lehigh Valley. Had the chicken curry, madras chicken, butter naan, and basmati rice. Always enough to take some home to enjoy the next day. Thank you for all that you do! Cheers!

Everything was great. The only issue is they have a credit card limit of one per table which we learned when the check came. This should be clarified when reservations are made.
