    I visited on Jan 02, 2019, with my friends. But unfortunately I felt that this is not good place for customer oriented service. their servers are not friendly enough as well their behavior is very rudely. Even we talked to head cook but they also not say sorry even to us as a customer. They are only interested for profit not believing in customer service. I can say that, it is totally waste of money I spent ever. even they charge 8$ more without any reason. guys trust me, I will never going to visit this restaurant ever in my life from now. Very much frustrated and unhappy customer.

    We had lamb vindaloo and two other dishes. The vindaloo was not too spicy but I like a bit of pain with my vindaloo. I would have rated it a medium spicy. Indian food is best served very hot, in this case it was warm to very warm but most definitely not quite hot. Otherwise a very good meal. I would go back.

    The tables were dirty. The service was very poor. The tables did not have basic stuff like salt and pepper. Servers completely ignorant of menu. They did not serve us drinks even after reminding and we kind of gave up. Totally not recommended. The owners should really focus on the place

    The food was very good; however, the service was slow. It was crowded (3 other parties) the night we went and the service was still slow. They did bring the little one a mango lassi, so that was very thoughtful.
