We went at lunch on a Sunday and had a lovely experience. We went in early, before the church crowd got out.

We ordered to go and the food was ready quickly. They packed everything really well to avoid any spills. Everything tasted good and authentic. The naan and samosas were a little different than we are used to, but still delicious. My husband likes his food super hot and they didn’t disappoint in that area! This is a great place for some quick and delicious Indian food.

Had a wonderful experience trying The Lion this evening. My husband and I ordered the Pride, which was a very good size with plenty left over. We loved trying dishes we wouldn’t have normally. Everything was delicious and so flavorful. We will definitely be back soon!

We went with a group and had the dinner for 2. Food was wonderful. I’m not usually a fan of tandoori since the meat tends to be dry, but theirs was very tasty and juicy. The dinner for 2 is a great choice since you get a good sampling of dishes. Very generous servings. Will definitely be back!

Overall very solid Indian food! The ambiance was decent, if not low key. Not pretentious at all. The food was very tasty, I was impressed with the meat – many Indian places over cook and under spice it, but they did it right. The portion size was also good, we got the $42 dinner for two, and it filled us both up, with some take out as well. Service was fast and attentive, never felt neglected. This is def our new Indian spot!
