It was good Indian food. Not the best, but good. Service was good, but they brought one of the wrong dishes( chicken not veggie)and when brought up they apologized and made the right one for us. They didn’t comp the dish they got wrong, which would have been nice, but certainly unnecessary. Attire is a little on the fancier side for Indian, mostly collared shirts and jackets for men. Recommend you order extra rice. Samosa was quite good.
