Entrees

Curries: To us, curry means a sauce made with different blends of spices. Different curry sauces are made to cook different dishes such as poultry, meat, vegetables, seafood, etc. Therefore, each curry dish tastes different from the other, depending on the spices used in that particular dish and its particular blend. Curries in India have nothing to do with the yucky yellow stuff from the bottle or the tube called curry powder or paste; but a whole new world of never-ending delightful celebration of new flavors. All our curry dishes are cooked to order. Please tell us your taste preference of mild, medium, wild or dangerous to enjoy your meal to the fullest. Kindly allow us 15-20 minutes, because we cook each dish individually
