Lovely environment, excellent food, superb service. The only thing I would suggest is they could add just a couple additional vegetarian options. Currently there is only one entre option, the smoked mozzarella ravioli which was excellent but at least one other option would have been nice, especially since I would very much like to return but only having one entre option is a downside. Otherwise, wonderful place, highly recommended.

Good service, wide range of different styles of Indian food, reasonable price, easy to park nearby and they pay your first hours parking. Try the Lamb Rogan Josh and the various lentil dishes! Good Naan too.

Seated pretty quickly; service was a little slow; menu had nice variety; calamari appetizer was skimpy, but delicious; entrees were spaghetti and meatball (1), lamb chops, and a salad - all tasty; desserts were Nutella crepe and a bread pudding - both delicious!
