VERY ENJOYABLE DINNER ! There is a first time for everything and this was our first time having dinner here. I said to my wife a couple of days ago that we should try this Indian place on Friday evening. And my wife agreed ! So we turned up on spec without a reservation ( took a chance ) at around 6pm and a server/ hostess named Bianca welcomed us warmly. It looked a little quiet but Bianca assured us that the heavy action usually kicks off about 7pm. Glasses of cool water appeared on our table before anything was ordered. Bianca said to scan the QR Code for the menu. No prob ! They had an almost decent beer selection but I decided to play it safe and stick with a Stella Artois Lager. When I checked in on Yelp I received an offer for a FREE Garlic Naan. YES PLEASE ! To kick things off we ordered a CHICKEN SAMOSA APPETIZER ( Chicken turnover stuffed with potatoes, peas & spices ). My ice cold Stella Artois Lager and a very chilled tall glass hit the table. After filling my glass it tasted very refreshing ! For our entrees my wife ordered BUTTER CHICKEN ( Chicken cooked in a butter sauce & herbs incl a serve of Basmati Rice ) while I ordered LAMB VINDALOO ( Lamb cooked in a fiery hot curry with potatoes incl a serve of Basmati Rice ). To go with our FREE ( thanks Yelp ) GARLIC NAAN ( Naan topped with garlic & cilantro ) we also ordered KABULI NAAN ( Naan stuffed with coconut, raisins & nuts ). In the meantime Bianca brought us a COMPLIMENTARY serve of PAPADUM with 3 dipping sauces ( Sweet, Cilantro & Spicy hot ) and it was very delicious ! Our Chicken Samosa Appetizer arrived before too long and tasted quite good. A few more diners were appearing but these guys were doing great take-out business we noticed. Bianca brought out our entrees together on a huge tray....they looked pretty darn good ! My wife commented that the Chicken in her Butter Chicken was very tender and juicy. Now part of the reason I wanted to have dinner at an authentic Indian restaurant was I was sick & tired of asking for spicy level 5 at our fav local Thai and Indian places and getting a FAT ZERO spicy flavor. This place did not disappoint me....my Lamb Vindaloo nearly blew my head off. I LOVED IT ! I totally cleaned up my plate...this was real good ! We weren't sure about dessert but we like to try new things. My wife ordered RAS MALAI ( Milk cheesecake, Indian style with pistachios & thickened sweet milk ) and I couldn't resist the PISTA KULFI ( Indian style creamy ice cream with pistachio ). Bianca our server brought them out before too long and they tasted great. It pays to try a new place. We were very happy with our dinner visit !

Tikka Chicken was excellent , however you should not sit single diners in front of the door for all those picking up take out and waiting to be seated to look at you. Uncomfortable Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Garlic Naan
