Dinner at Spicy Palette was a treat for my palette! I love the ambience of the restaurant. Full of bright painting the reference the colorfulness of Indian culture. I had spinach and homemade cheese dumpling on top of honey tomato sauce, crispy cauliflower florets in chili soy sauce (love this dish), crispy okra as the appetizers. For the main course I had the lamb madras and it had a rich flavor and spice to it. The main dish came with naan and our table had plain, garlic, and rosemary naan all so good. I also had the mango lassi and its mango juice super addicting and delicious! They also serve Rupee beer and I love that this beer has low carbonation and it was so perfect with Indian spicy food. The Rupee beer came in 3 differents flavors, mango wheat ale, India pale ale, and basmati rice lager. The service was also on point, they made sure we had our drinks refilled, food, and cleared the table. I recommend this place.

Beautiful restaraunt with fantastic, attentive service. The food was amazing and the cocktails delicious! We got the andhra chicken and chicken tikka masala with garlic and paneer naans. Pricing is fair and you also get massive portions of food. Fluffiest naan I've ever had!

My husband and I worked late, and we wanted to head out for hopefully a last-minute nice time out and meal. Spice Palette is one of our favs, so we headed there. It was almost 8 pm, and we were so thrilled to get a table! The restaurant was decorated so sweetly! It filled my heart upon entering with the hearts on the floor, the decorations, and the fun ballons on the chairs and tables. It was so loving and welcoming! We knew this was the perfect place for our Valentines date night! Thanks so much for the roses, champagne, and sweet treats! Our hearts are still full. We can't say enough about Spice Palette! The food is AlWAYS delicious!!! We may have an addiction. Haha! :)

Fantastic experience! We had a great time tonight, the food was delicious, service was great! From the hostess to the waiter, to the chef who brought the main course out HIMSELF! Couldn't have had a better dinner, will definitely be back the next time we're in town!

Spice Palace is such a hidden gem and Mount Pleasant is lucky to have it. The food is fantastic. While I admittedly don’t know exactly what each menu item is, the descriptions are clear, concise and you honestly can’t go wrong. Some favorites are the garlic naan, garlic chicken, shrimp, and the cauliflower appetizer. Service is always top notch. Some of the items can be a little dish heavy and the servers do a great job of clearing away and replacing the sharing plates. Great for a date night, great for a family style dinner for more than just two and the leftovers you’ll have are just as good standing over the kitchen sink eating them the next day.

I had heard about this place for some time, and after going there was dismayed in myself having not gone sooner. The service was great and friendly, the vibes were good ( popular for Sunday dinner) and we had a slew of great dishes. We ordered the Makhanni chicken, madras lamb and chili garlic naan, all of which were well flavored and delicious. Highly recommend you check it out.

I traveled to India a few months ago. Since returning, I have been looking for authentic Indian food here in Charleston. So glad I found Spice Palette!! Hands down the best Indian food in the Lowcountry. The service was amazing, atmosphere was great and everyone loved every dish we ordered. Can't wait to return!

Enjoyed lunch thali here multiple times. Vegetarian and chicken thali. Delicious dishes paired with welcoming service.

What a lovely little gem in the strip mall! The Spice Palette has wonderful service and authentic meals. The meat sampler was a wonderful introduction to the meal, and a great option for two people to share. The chicken is absolutely delicious. The chicken tiki masala is a favorite if you're new to Indian cuisine. You can also choose your spice level. We loved the medium (but we also like spice for flavor). I would definitely recommend this spot for small groups of four or a table for two. Parking is pretty easy, and there is something on the menu for vegetarian friends.

Five star Loved everything about this place! I had no idea there was a full bar and the service was impeccable. All food was delicious and delightfully seasoned. You could still taste all elements. Not over salted or spiced LOL. Truly, I cannot believe that I waited this long to go here... highly recommend. Going back soon to try more things and the prices are very fair, especially with portions. I had a full Togo bag.

Shrimp Malai Kabab is also a fabulous option- comes in a sizzling pan like a fajita. Butterflied grilled shrimp- super flavorful- with veggies including broccoli. Be sure to squeeze the lemon on your shrimp. We had rice on the table which hit the spot with the shrimp- might be worth ordering. I wonder if they have brown rice?

Carol R.

Yelp
This is some good Indian food. Mysore masala dosa, mangalorean shrimp curry, and lamb vindaloo were spicy and delicious. Hit the spot!

Love, love, love the extra spicy butter chicken, honey naan, and the garlic chili naan. One of my fav spots in Mount pleasant!

I've been in here 3 times, each time is a new and better experience. The food is amazing, the bartenders is very experienced, and host makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. Looking forward to many more visits. Thank you spice palette!!!

We were visiting Charleston and the friends we were staying with ordered different entrees here... each entree was mind blowing delicious!!! 1)Goni Manchurian-spicy, flavorful cauliflower 2)palak paneer - tasty 3)paneer tika-also tasty 4)rasmalai- first time trying this dessert and it was pillowy delectable

I was told to try out Spice Palette to satisfy my Indian food craving and it hit the spot. I ordered the tandoori chicken and chicken vindaloo. The tandoori chicken was tasty but some pieces did not have much meat on the bones. Nonetheless, it still tasted great. The chicken vindaloo made my nose run which I love because I have a high spice tolerance. While the spice level was high, the flavor was still spot on. My boyfriend couldn't take the heat so our waiter graciously offered him a bowl of raita (yogurt sauce) to cool his mouth down. Great service and our waiter was very kind and attentive!!

Haley S.

I really enjoyed my meal here. The spice level was great, the naan was delicious, and the rice just kept coming. They have cool wall decorations and the overall vibe is great for a small-medium group, or for a more casual date night.

A group of us looked at reviews for local Indian restaurants and we came upon this location. The good reviews brought us in and we have a palate for spicy vegan Indian food. The Spice Palette did not disappoint!! The Vegetable Nilgiri was delicious and well spiced. We also tried the vegetable Chettinadu and really enjoyed that. The Malabar Vegetables were also a delight. Our server gave us plenty of rice and Indian flatbread with our meal. The service was fast and friendly and we enjoyed the ambiance. We would definitely return here for another meal when we visit the Mt. Pleasant area.

Got the chicken tikka masala this week only because of a postmates deal. It was not good. First, we ordered 2 meals and only got one bowl of rice. At our regular indian restaurant, we get that same container of rice for 1 meal. The sauce was sooo very bland. I know it's tikka masala..,,, but this tasted like tomato sauce, was on the verge of being sweet. Was missing any "spice". Also, the chicken was very very dry, next time would get lamb. 2 stars are for the naan- because they were good :)

This is my go to place for Indian food. Have had many things over the last year and am never disappointed. CJ does a great job running this business and always makes sure the food is impeccable.

Food was mediocre but portions were good. I found the tikka to be overly sweet and the samosas to be salty.

Jill G.

Yelp
Delicious Indian food and the spice is no joke. Some places under deliver on the heat, but not this place, so order wisely. Love all the types of naan that they have and the portions are decently sized. Would recommend making a reservation if you can just to be safe!

I LOVEEEEEEEE this place. The service is fast, food is great, and ambiance is perfect. This is my favorite indian restaurant in Charleston. The first time I had it was at a wedding and I asked who the caterer was and they told me it was Spice Palette. So I came to try it out and it was even better. I got the palak spinach with vegetables and it was sooooo good. I wish I could eat it everyday.

Got out to Spice Palette Mount Pleasant tonight. My husband can't get food spicy enough and I can tolerate a mayo level of spice. I've had issues in the past asking for no spice but tonight they nailed it for me. I got chicken tikka masala and garlic naan with a side of raita to help with the spice (which wasn't needed but I love raita anyway). Hubs got lamb rogan josh and chili garlic naan. Excellent food and a whole second meal of leftovers!

OUTSTANDING!!!! We have been wanting to go here for awhile and it was amazing! We sat at the bar and the service was attentive and helpful. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on this menu. The vibe was energetic and fun. Loved that Bollywood was on the TV at the bar. We can't wait to come back and taste our way through their incredible menu at Spicy Palette!

Expensive and uncomfortably hot in the building. It was very hot outside and we were seated at the bar, not far from the door, so every time someone would enter/exit the place, it was noticed. My family and I (4 people total) sat down, I wasn't hungry and my daughter just wanted a salad, so two entrees, 2 milkshakes and a salad cost us 86 dollars.

Best Indian food in Charleston!!! The Hungry Detective loves this spot...great food, service and atmosphere...Spice Palette is always consistent and on point!!! I was greeted by the owner Suji and it was wonderful to see him and be back...I had the new lamb dish and naan garlic bread which is made on premises and fresh to order. Love this spot!!! VERDICT: Guilty for doing everything right!!!

Daniela Z.

Yelp
I get the hype! We came in on a Sunday night and it was packed but it still didn't take long to be seated. Honestly we wanted to order soo many things off the menu but the portions are huge, which I'm not complaining about, so we didn't go overboard. We will for SURE be coming back though! The veggie samosas were some of the most flavorful I've ever had. Customer service was great as well! I tried the eggplant chettinadu for the first time because I was craving eggplant in a creamy sauce and W O W. It's a black pepper roasted curry coconut sauce and was spicier than expected, in a good way! Plus all vegan/dairy free for my lactose intolerant self, so I was especially pleased.

Go experience for yourself. We went shortly after they opened. It was good food with great portions so bring friends and family. Presentation was amazing. The ambience and service was definitely worth going back for. Did I mention the food? I have eaten at many regions of Indian food. This place has a good mix and includes what I felt was. A mixture of northern and southern cuisine. Good and spicy to my understanding. So check it out.

Yelp
This is my favorite restaurant in Charleston. The food is amazing. I am vegan and have tried almost every vegan option on their menu and every single one is so flavorful and delicious!! The atmosphere is lovely with beautiful murals on the wall and the service is always great. If you want an excellent meal that is also a good value, you should go here. I love it!

Decided to try Spice Pallet after several people recommended it and drove over. It is a quick drive from downtown and there is plenty of parking which makes it very easy to get to. The place is decorated beautifully with colorful murals and modern furniture. We did not have a wait and sat down right away. I tried the chicken korma, and asked for "medium spicy". The sauce was delicious as well as the rice and naan. The portions were large enough that there was enough for another bring to take home for lunch the next day. The spicy level was just perfect, not overpowering but definitely felt it was there. Will be totally coming back and trying more of their offerings.

A higher quality Indian restaurant than Charleston has had up to this point, I agree. Stopping in for a holiday meal left me with an abundance of choices. The appetizer sampler I picked was a disappointment. There were so many cauliflower and broccoli pakoras, of which I'm no fan. If it was one or two I'd shrug it off, but they had so many other appetizers, and yet their sampler was mostly pakoras and not some of the more interesting options on there (no okra, no hara bhara kabob, nothing to dip any of my fried indulgences in besides one tamarind sauce), so it was kind of a waste for me, though I'll be eating the leftover goodies for a while. My entree was an okra dish that was well cooked, with delightfully crisp onions and peppers and a kick of fresh ginger, with a cherry tomato or two on top. I cook similar dishes at home, but not this well. The rice was so ample and my appetizer so fried that I'm glad I skipped bread; it would have been too much. To their credit, they were very much in the holiday spirit and offered me a champagne on the house (I'm not a drinker but I appreciate the thought) as well as some sort of fruit-studded mousse (I am definitely a dessert eater). A papadum with some onions and mint chutney is apparently a standard offering. So you'll certainly leave full.

Appetizers: Bajia, Malabar Sham Sevara Entrees: Goat Vindaloo, Alleppey Meen (Salmon) Curry Sides: Garlic Chili Naan, Basmati Rice, Raita The Malabar Sham Sevara was an incredible appetizer; the two of us fought over finishing the sauce. Alleppey Meen Curry (Salmon) curry was one of the best curry dishes I've ever had; it was thick, hot, soaked up by the salmon to create a really interesting sweet-savory profile with the fat of the fish. I only wish it had been a spicier but I was playing it safe as a first time guest. My partner pointed out how amazing the quality of the goat meat was--a huge difference noticed by someone who grew up eating lots of goat meat based dishes. Believe us when we say the vindaloo is quite spicy, but a back of the tongue heat-not a front of the mouth heat (how I would describe Mexican spice), or a full mouth heat (how I would describe Thai spice). The naan and starting carb were also incredible quality. All of our food tasted fresh and of amazing quality! The dishes are expensive, but for the price the quality is worth it. The portions of the entrees very huge compared to other restaurants which was very thoughtful and lovely considering the recession right now; the leftovers became breakfast and lunch the next day for two hungry young adults on a budget. The atmosphere was robust, enjoyable and busy. The service seemed a bit stressed, but they had a full house. Our server was very focused on their duty, less cordial but was able to help with all our requests and questions. Cannot wait to return to this restaurant! Perfect for autumn/ winter weather!

I had the pleasure of dining at Spice Palette and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food. I ordered the paneer korma and eggplant makhni, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold and authentic, and the portion sizes were generous. The service was also top-notch, with the staff being friendly and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend Spice Palette for anyone looking for delicious Indian cuisine. Five stars!

This restaurant does not take reservations under a party of 6, so to avoid a wait line, we arrived at 4:20 pm. The Sea Island strip center is well lit and offers ample parking spots. It was a smart choice to arrive early, as surprisingly, there were only 10 people waiting. We had our choice of seating and picked a table in the back on the bar side where I would not be close to any other diners. The dining room is lovely. The owners did it great job in utilizing the space. The decor is inviting and welcoming. Before I could blink, a basket of two large pappadum arrived with two different sauces. Unfortunately, I did not get the names. The pappadum was fresh, crunchy and oh, so tasty. Surprisingly, our server did not come for our drink order until after we finished. With knowledge of the portion sizes (thanks, Yelpers), I did not ask for more though I really love a salty crunch and probably could have munched my way through at least two more. I ordered the Bombay Gin-Gin, their version of a gin and tonic, prepared with (obviously) Bombay Gin, a lime ginger juice and tonic water. It was clean, crisp and a good choice. My husband abstained. The wine list is adequate; however , I was surprised that prices started at $14.00/glass, a bit pricey for the area, with no option for a less costly glass of house wine. We started with an order of Kheema Samosa, 3 large, crisped pastries, filled heavy with spiced ground lamb. Served with a dipping sauce, (tamarind?), they were filling and really delicious. My husband loves hot, spicy food so he immediately went for the Lamb Vindaloo, a 'three pepper' dish prepared in a hot Goan red chili sauce. The portion was huge and served with a more than ample order of a fragrant rice. He also ordered a side of honey ginger naan. He was happy, full and yes, took home 2 of the four naan and enough of his entree for a second meal. My entree, unfortunately, did not meet my expectation. The rack of lamb, marinated with herbs and spices, grilled in a tandoor, served with vegetable biryani, broccoli and garlic naan was huge and was beautiful. The four large, double lamb chops were stacked high over a generous portion of vegetable biryani. At the server's suggestion, they were ordered medium rare; however, what arrived was medium to well done. They were neither warm or fresh tasting. The broccoli was almost cold to my touch, brown, very off putting. The naan was hot, fresh and delicious. The biryani was tasty, but left to take home, along with 2 pieces of naan. Perhaps, I should have sent the lamb and broccoli back. Perhaps, I ordered the wrong dish. By the time our entrees arrived, the dining room was full and frankly, I was full already so I chose not to 'rock the boat,' so to speak. The menu is large with options for any diner. We will return as there are other selections that I know will delight. Welcome to the 'hood, Spice Palette!

Authentic. Our family believes that if you are going to have a restaurant that specifically cooks for a certain part of the world that you should be immersed in that culture when you dine in. From the moment you walk in the door of Spice Palette you know exactly where you are. From the staff, the music the smells , the things on the TV down to the amazing authentic food this place knows exactly the vibe it is wanting to put out there. The family style dishes are perfect for sharing, make sure when you're ordering you know what you're doing or you're going to end up with a table full of dishes! I always suggest getting a couple orders of naan in different flavors because everything goes better with naan-!!!!!

Opal D.

The best paneer saag I've had in my entire life! The garlic naan was amazing as well. I tasted my husband's shrimp dish--also tasty! Mango lassi--YUM. The Indian beer--crisp and cold.

Yelp
We're new to Indian food and tried Spice Palette on a recommendation. It was a great suggestion! We weren't very hungry so only shared the vegetarian sampler platter. It was a lot of fried food, yet everything tasted great - (even the eggplant!). We really liked the complimentary mint and onion sauces with poppadoms and the sauces that came with the sampler platter. Wine pour was generous, and service was efficient and helpful. The menu had many interesting vegetarian offerings so we will try the naan and some vegetarian entrees on a future visit. Don't let the Harris Teeter shopping center scare you away, and plan ahead as it was packed at 6pm. We highly recommend.

Yelp
Courteous, attentive and considerate of various sensitivities to spice level - the wait staff at Spice Palette are phenomenal. The food is AMAZING and full of flavors and textures. We ordered the Cauliflower Manchurian (there is a chicken version as well) that was wonderful. We also got a lamb dish to split. Both dishes were AMAZING and even better the next day. This is definitely the kind of restaurant where you wanna get a couple of dishes and split them with a group. Lots of food available for leftovers for the next day. I HIGHLY recommend this place to people staying over in MtP or on their way back from the beach on Sullivans Island. PS- lots of parking for free!

Wow, bloody wow... Have been meaning to give these guys a review. It was our 3rd time here tonight and they didn't disappoint again. I always say when you leave a restaurant with a circus in your mouth they are definitely doing something right. I'll say this. My wife and I always visit Indian restaurants when we travel and always try different dishes. The difference with Spice Palette is that the food is of the highest quality and the portions are huge. Most Indian restaurants serve small dishes for around $16 but here the average price is $20 but you get double the portions. The service is top notch and we just love the atmosphere. Having this incredible restaurant 5 minutes from our house is awesome. 3 Thumbs Up And 5 Stars from us

Yelp
Mount Pleasant finally had a great authentic Indian restaurant to enjoy! Careful with the Vindaloo if you cannot handle the heat, but the Garlic Chili Naan, Chicken Kashmiri, and Lamb Birahni are all fantastic as well! BIG PORTIONS!!

Amy W.

Yelp
GINORMOUS PORTIONS. Really, these portions are 2 to 3x the average indian restaurant portions in San Francisco. Good news you get more, bad news, it's harder to justify multiple things to order and share. We didn't realize portion sizes until the entrees arrived, so we ordered way to much food. And now have leftovers for days. We ordered (for 4) Chicken tikka masala Veggie byriani Samosas Butter chicken Chan masala Mushrooms in coconut sauce 2 nans, one rosemary, one plain And this place is getting popular, so wait times are increasing, you might have better luck on a weeknight.

Solid, satisfying Indian food served in a contemporary setting with excellent service. I've been eyeing this restaurant for a couple years, which is located in an unassuming shopping center next to a Harris Teeter on the corner of Bowman and Ben Sawyer. Glad I finally pulled the trigger and went with the family on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered a full Tandoori Chicken, Saag Paneer, Chicken Tikka, and regular and garlic Naan to share family style. All were good with the Tandoori being the standout. SP's version appeared to be basted in a reita-based sauce on a bed of onions and peppers. Very tender and tasty, especially with a twist of lemon juice. The Saag Paneer was very good and came in a generous portion--enough for the whole family, while the Chicken Tikka seemed a bit thin and timid with not enough protein to go around. Service was attentive and very friendly. Easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Mount Pleasant. Recommended. (4.25 stars)

Dan S.

Yelp
Great restaurant with outstanding service. We were advised to arrive early, and we're glad we did. It was packed by 6pm I was underwhelmed by the food. The Pappardam was free, which is good. The onion chutney was bland and barely was enough for one piece. We had a fish dish that was great but not exceptional. The mixed tandoori was very disappointing. The lamb was dry and almost impossible to cut without intense sawing. All of the other tandooris were spiced in a way that it tasted bitter, the spices weren't balanced. It smelled great, but the taste was not enjoyable. The raita tasted sour. It offered no value to the tandoori. I always get this at other Indian restaurants and love it. I ordered an Indian beer (Bira), which had a touch of Pomelo flavor. It was ok, but it was at its expiration date which was a year after manufacture. The manager was very kind and gave us free tea because of the lamb. He is very intent on ensuring customer satisfaction. I would try them again, perhaps it was a bad night for the chef?

I've been hearing so much buzz about Spice Palette that it's been way on top of my priority list and I jumped at the opportunity to meet a friend there this week. It was shockingly packed on a Tuesday evening (even for a smallish space) but we were able to grab a table. The menu is deceptively large. They have it sectioned off by protein, so there are actually quite a few duplicates (items you could get with any protein) and once you figure that out, it's much more manageable. I was in a paneer mood so I skipped straight to the last page. My friend and I ordered the always-reliable veggie samosas ($8) and the new-to-us malabar sham savera ($12) for our appetizers. I would have ordered a full entree of the malabar sham savera. For our entrees, she chose the mangolorian shrimp curry and I went with the paneer masala. We also each ordered a serving of naan - garlic chili for her and coconut for me. As others have said, the portions are large. We each left with a solid 2 servings of leftovers and very full bellies. Our server was really sweet and checked in on us just enough. My water was refilled without having to ask, which is such a nice touch. Excellent visit and I look forward to my return!

This was our first visit to Spice Palette and we really enjoyed it. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. Although it was a Wednesday night we still made reservations as we have seen this place quite busy. Food and service were great. My husband had the Andhra Chicken and I had Chicken Tikka Masala. The Masala had more tomato taste than I am used to but it was still good. The Naan was excellent, I could have eaten the whole basket. This will be a restaurant in our rotation for sure.

Michael R.

Yelp
Amazing. Incredible food and absolutely full of flavor. Service was impeccable, server made great recommendations and we tried a variety of menu items. Ambiance and space was truly authentic. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone on the spice spectrum, mild yo spicy. A must for My. Pleasant dining.

Yelp
I believe I have tried every Indian restaurant in a 45-mile radius and we finally have a winner - a delicious, fresh, huge menu offering everyone something! When you sit, delivered are 3 pappadums with two sauces, one onion based and the other cilantro based and both bright and flavorful. I wished the bowls were a bit bigger!! The pappadums were crunchy and salty good. Like most customers, we started with potato samosa, and the pastry on the samosa was crispy and flaky and tasty - the filling satisfying. We also asked for a side of mango chutney, which also had a great, fresh flavor. My husband ordered the Chicken Tika and Garlic Chili Naan. The Chicken Tika was tasty, but the chicken pieces of breast were too big, giving a dry chunk of chicken to chew through, but the sauce was perfect. The Garlic Chili Naan was VERY spicy, and delicious but VERY spicy. Remember, Indian chili and spice is not your average Fresno or jalapeno, it can be some serious heat so mind your ordering. Did we say authentic? We meant it. I had a dish I hadn't had before and was so happy I took a chance. Chicken Ammwala; pureed mango with ginger and spices (but not spicy). Creamy, lusciously rich, and full of flavor. BTW - huge portions and I am looking forward to leftovers for dinner. I just need to make the rice! Note: Rice and regular Naan are great heat coolers for the tongue, but they also have a couple of cooling ice cream scoops for dessert to help you with the capsaicin that is sitting on your tongue if you ordered something with heat! I look forward to trying several other options on the menu....So glad they are here!!!!

Wow, wow and wow! Best Indian food I have had that is not home made or when I was living in Europe! We started with the vegetable samosas and the tamarind eggplant. I wish I had gotten pictures. These were the perfect start to the meal. Both were perfectly spiced and were absolutely delicious. We then all ordered different main dishes. Way too much food! I had the Vegetable korma. There was definitely enough for 2 people to share. I also ordered the cheese naan which was soooooo good. Others at my table has rack of lamb, lamb tandoori and shrimp. Everyone was overwhelmingly pleased with the meal. We had rosé with the meal and the wine perfectly complemented the spicy food. The service was good, though they were very busy. The restaurant is clean and they have made some changes to the space which open it up and it seems much bigger. If you like Indian food, you must try this spot! Even if you are unsure, go try it-you will not be disappointed!

Still my favorite restaurant in Charleston. I love spicy food and if you ask them to up the level it doesn't just burn your mouth, it comes with added flavor. Service is spot on. Atmosphere is lively but not particularly "Indian @.

I had never tried Indian food before and wasn't sure what to expect and this place exceeded all expectations. Everything was so amazing including food, drinks & service! They have 12 flavors of naan and we tried the garlic chili & honey ginger which were both excellent. My chicken tikka was perfectly marinated and cooked. I jokingly said I wanted to try the chicken tikka masala sauce and our server quickly went to get some for us. I don't usually like eggplant but the tamarind eggplant was unbelievable. The mango mojito was sooo good, I can't wait to go back!

My boyfriend and I have been here almost 40 times since hearing of this restaurant and have brought countless groups of friends. All have loved it. From the hostess to the owner everyone working there is wholesome and professional. NOT ONCE HAVE WE NOT ENJOYED THE FOOD!!! Every time the dishes are delicious and hot. They are also very helpful with explaining certain dishes on the menu....
