2012-01-27 11:17:45 I ate here last night and was impressed. The food was delicious, and I like it much better than the other Indian places in town, some of which I like a lot. My friend and I tried the Shrimp Vindaloo and the Bengan Bhartha, and had a difficult time deciding which we liked better. Each came with a side of rice OR naan, so we got one of each, and were offered more when they ran out. Although my first impression when the food came out was that the portions were a bit on the small side, we were both full at the end of the meal. They were very busy, more than they anticipated, I think, so the food was slow to come out, but the service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was excellent. I am looking forward to going back and working my way through the menu. They said they expected to have beer and wine in about a week and hard liquor sometime later. One minor complaint - we were seated at the bar and the stools had no backs. They were not uncomfortable, but it left us with no place to put our purses or jackets. On balance, though, it was a great experience. Definitely one of my new favorites restaurants in town. —EmilyH
2012-01-27 21:26:48 Ate here for the first time tonight and am excited to go back. Much more reasonably priced and I think higher quality than some of the other Indian places in town. Got the lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka massala and chicken saagwala with rice and extra garlic naan for $33. The meat in all the dishes was moist and delicious. The saagwala was extra good, followed by the vindaloo, and I thought the chicken tikka was just normal. One thing that confused me was that all the dishes come with rice or naan and you can't order ala carte. It was tough to figure out my rice to naan ratio, so I went two rice, one naan, and an extra garlic naan. I think I could have gotten away with two naan and one rice. I tried to take a menu with me to upload to the wiki, but they encouraged me not to as they said it wasn't a finalized menu. Anyways, as I said before, I'm excited. —MikeyCrews
2012-03-07 11:07:18 Ate here the other night. Ordered the chili chicken with rice and a side of garlic naan. It was very good, I ordered it medium spicy but it tasted more like mild, I will have to try the very spicy next time. The garlic naan was amazing as was the paneer naan. Decor was nice and the price wasn't too bad, about 12-13 bucks a person without any drinks. I will definitely be back. —MMAC

2012-04-29 02:24:02 Me and some friends went here last night. We ordered all vegetarian dishes, such as dal, malai kofta, and paneer tikka masala. The food was quite good, though not very spicy. However, I am used to extremely spicy food, but had friends who weren't, so we didn't ask for them to make it spicy. That said, the portion sizes were small, almost too small for the price we paid. Raja's costs the same but has bigger portions, and more flavor. Great ambiance though! —chandru
2012-05-20 11:16:05 Ate there last night and was also impressed with the food. Service was great as well. They have been the unfortunate victim of Restaurant.com, which sold $25 gift certificates for their restaurant without their knowledge. I mentioned that I had one before ordering and our server apologized profusely (apparently Restaurant.com targets Indian and other ethnic restaurants with this practice) and offered us a discount and said he would certainly understand if we didn't want to eat there. Glad we did and am completely dumbfounded that Restaurant.com would do this sort of thing). I post this only to hopefully help other people avoid this problem. New restaurants just don't need this kind of problem. Oh, and I agree with a previous commenter—the naan was really great. —mlgoodson
