Even though I had my share of Indian food I still know nothing about the difference between North, South or whatever region.

Prafull Kotecha
It’s located in a food-court kind of set up. No place to sit inside, but plenty of tables and chairs common to all restaurants in “The Island”. Walkable distance from ThermoFisher and SMAC in Carlsbad. Food is great, although the bread (naan) could be a bit better. It’s kinda chewy and if you don’t eat it while it’s hot, it gets harder to break with one hand, like we generally do with Indian bread – naan, roti. The folks in the kitchen and behind the counter are the best. Very friendly and accommodating. Service is quick and always with a smile.

The food was very good, but one of our group ordered a vegetarian dish and asked for it to be mild, nor spicy. It was too spicy for her. Other than that it was great.
