    Casual atmosphere w/ Northern Indian menu. The owners/staff are amazing- super friendly and helpful. My favs- kabuli naan, alu gobhi and channa masala. (And of course, mango lassi goes w/o saying).

    Very decent lunch buffet for around 8.50. Their dessert always surprises me and tastes amazing wihout getting too rich or sweet. A lot of different options for chicken and veggies. Nice waiters.

    I enjoyed the lunch buffet, especially the classic tandoori chicken, spinach paneer, fluffy naan, and pakora. Accesible price. Not too impressive if you are an Indian food connoisseur though.

    The lunch buffet seems to be the same every day, and they always run out of naan. So either don't be the jerk that takes 3 pieces or at least ask them to make more, if you do.

    Mango Lassi is very good, their naan is wonderful - check out their lunch buffet. It's quite tasty. Chicken Tikki Masala. So good.

    The Chicken Vindaloo was delicious. I also recommend getting some Garlic Naan (bread) to share on the side.

    Chicken or Lamb Shahi Korma is the way to go, the sauce is amazing!

    Not a big selection during the lunch buffet, but the naan and chutney are good.
