Food was excellent! We made reservations for 5:30pm on a Saturday. This restaurant definitely gets busier closer to 7pm, especially on the weekends so reservations are highly recommended. We ordered the Daal Mahkni, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, and Chicken Tikka (basically Tandoori chicken). The Daal, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Biryani were all very mild and not spicy, which was appreciated. I'm sure you could ask for a specific spice level. The flavors were excellent, very rich while being complex and full of flavor without relying on spice and heat. Everyone loved it, especially our first-time-Indian-food-trying guests! We also ordered Basmati Rice (2 orders was enough for 5 people).
I understand why some people knock this restaurant since we ended up paying 16.50 for 3 orders of Basmati Rice, as it does not come with the entrees. Kind of absurd that a single order of plain rice costs more than their homemade Garlic Naan, but that's just something you have to walk into accepting. Service was also a bit slow, we didn't get our Chicken Tikka (from the Tandoor oven) until we had finished our meals - they said the oven was taking some time to heat up, but it was excellent nonetheless. We had also communities at the start of our meal that we would be placing a takeout order midway through our meal. No one stopped by the entire meal for us to order this, and it wasn't until we had our checks that we were able to place our takeout order. The restaurant was getting busier and busier, and I could tell that staff was itching to get us out of cleared table to seat more guests. However, as we were enjoying each other's company and waiting for our takeout order, we stayed put but I could tell they were getting antsy about it which I feel is a bit wrong. We've done solely takeout before and had no problems, everything traveled well and food was ready on time.
Nonetheless, the food is pricey, sure, but the flavors are excellent. We'd defintiely go back again as maybe service and communication was just off the last time we were there
