I can imagine at night; the noise level would be much higher than when I attended. There was only one other table occupied. The music was a loud for me, and not very nice, but that also would have been due to the restaurant being nearly empty. The food was excellent, just right in the spicy side for me, but too much for my friend. there could also be more vegetarian options. Just a thought. But we thoroughly enjoyed it and would go back again.
