It’s good for once in a time. Food is okay, tasty. Non meat eaters should be careful while ordering. They have a combined menu to choose curries.

Tasty. Didn’t blow my mind but did satisfy my cravings. For yard fresh which is a big plus! I didn’t see any dishes labeled “curry” but maybe that’s my American ignorance. They were out of Tikka. I had the keto bowl and a side of daal and rice. Keto bowl was good while lacking complex flavors. Meal ended up costing almost $50 for 2 with the side of daal and rice.
