Restaurant 2.

Food was delicious, service was great. Got the mojito which was delicious and great price for what we got! Complimentary tea was a lovely end to the meal. Highly recommend the crispy corn.

Portion sizes were more than generous across all dishes. The paneer tikka masala and dal tadka were decent, though not standout. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary mango lassi, which was quite tasty. Service was excellent, and the live music added a great touch to the overall dining experience.

Food was perfect and service excellent. The chicken was tender and juicy. Gobi was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. We also tried their new pasta item on special. Although I personally prefer rice, my husband said he'd order the pasta again. It was interesting and a fun new way to enjoy great tasting Indian food.
