We went to the restaurant for dinner in late August. We were surprised to find it so empty, but decided to stay. We are glad we did. The food was unusual and delicious, from not spicy at all to very, very hot, depending on your request. I had a spinach dosa instead of curry, and it was wonderful. So was the naan, and the rice pudding was one of the best I've had.The samosas were tasty and crunchy. The pakoras were also fresh, crisp, and not at all tough or greasy, which is often the case. The service was very gracious and friendly. The portions were very adequate for a meal, which is all anyone can ask. It seems that people are somewhat spoiled and feel entitled to take home half for a second meal, especially in Asian/Indian restaurants. The decor is somewhat dated and a bit odd, but I wasn't buying furniture, so I did not care. I definitely recommend the restaurant, and I have been eating and cooking Indian food for 20 years, so this review is well-informed.

The grocery store part of the restaurant sells only expired food. I found stuff expired in 9/02 (its currently 3/06). The manager of the restauarant apparently ran off to India and so there is no management to look things over, restock, get rid of expired items.

Not my first choice for Indian, but not horrid either. The prices are high for the extra small portions. But the food is good. Waitstaff is quite slow.

first of all, the service was terrible. the food we got, palak and potatoes, was terrible. i really didn't care for the dessert either. what a mistake to go here. a bigger mistake was going there a second time, to "try" it out again and got tandoori chicken. blah... yeah, think twice...

The service was abominably slow, and when we finally got our food over an hour later the portions were appetizer size. Many people left in frustration with the poor service, and obviously we would have been better off to do the same.

Good food if you order off the men. I would avoid the buffet at lunch, it's ofter dried up and half empty. The food on the menu is flavorful and generous. The breads are very good and fresh. The drink and dessert selection is great. Even when it is slow be prepared to wait for your order, although the staff is polite.

the food here tastes very good, the waitstaff: courteous and attentive, yet the sevice takes forever. when the food finally arrived i don't know how much the flavor mattered, as i probably would have eaten nearly anything at that point. perhaps the kitchen needed more help when i ate there. anyhoo, i could eat the vegetable samosas all day. overall, a good indian restaurant.
