As a lover of Indian food, Ghee is the perfect place to sample interesting dishes. Three of us had the tasting menu (the whole table must choose this) and every single dish was delicious. We started with the “snacks” and loved them all - the tuna bhel and crispy broccoli were our favorites. Next were the mains which were all very well prepared but our favorite was actually the Dal Makhani. The Chicken Tikka Masala was very flavorful and tender as well. As chocolate lovers I don’t usually get dessert in Indian restaurants but the date cake with ginger ice cream was moist and delicious. Service was efficient and non-intrusive. Great dinner!
