Yes, and yes. I'm by no means a food critic or influencer. As a matter of fact, I will say that trying this food has given my mouth a whole new level of happiness. We had the curry cauliflower in cashew sauce, along with the stir-fried vegetable platter, and they were both delicious. The creamy texture of the curry cauliflower and the way the flavors melted in my mouth were excellent. The staff was amazing and attentive. The dessert (Pecan chocolate chip) cookie was a hit for me with their Chai tea added to the experience. Great flavors and healthier for you. . .I will be back.
