Tasty food and the lunch specials are great, but the service is definitely lacking. This spot has been on my radar for a bit. Tried them out for lunch and was really impressed with the flavors and spices.
Walked in on a Monday afternoon and the place was virtually empty. There was nobody in the lobby when I entered, so I waited for a few minutes until a lady came out from the back. She motioned me to seat myself, so I did. She brought out some menus and I looked them over. I had looked at their website prior to coming in, and saw that they had lunch specials. Ironically, no lunch specials were listed on the menus that she brought me, and the lady didn't even know that the lunch special menu was listed on their website. I had to show her through my phone (make sure you ask about the lunch specials if you don't see them on the menu).
I ordered a combo mix lunch with chicken tikka masala, shrimp curry, samosa, naan and rice. I also ordered a mango lassi. No water or utensils were brought to my table until I asked which was strange. Also, nobody checked on me until I was virtually done with my meal. The service was extremely flat. The good news is, the food was delicious.
*Chicken tikka masala: Definitely the best item on the table! Super creamy tikka sauce that was well spiced. The chicken breast was tender. Really enjoyed this dish.
*Shrimp curry: Very flavorful with a nice consistency. A thickish curry with plump shrimp. Could have been a bit spicier but that's just my personal preference. Otherwise, very tasty.
*Samosa: Deep fried to perfection with a solid filling. The green dipping sauce was delicious.
*Naan: Not a very thick piece of naan but it was still fluffy and come very buttery which I love.
*Mango lassi - The perfect consistency and thickness. Would have liked it was cold since it tasted like it was room temperature, but it was still good.
This lunch special was about $20 which isn't bad for two specialty entrees. You could go cheaper by getting just one entree lunch, but I wanted to try both and I'm glad that I did. Portions are adequate for the price. Not too much but also not too little. Aside from the service, I was actually quite impressed. Not sure if I'll dine in again anytime soon, but I would definitely considered them for takeout in the future.
