    Food is really very good, but one of our dishes that was ordered with medium spice came with barely any spice at all. The menu is more extensive than many Indian restaurants. Service was pretty slow even though the restaurant was not crowded. Price can't be beat, particularly when you are providing your own alcohol. I will definitely return.
