Message from the Business
Lunch-breaking office workers pack the place to the tune of upbeat Indian instrumentals. In the evening, the crowd skews toward casual couples and small groups. Beyond house-specialty tandoori grilled lamb, chicken, shrimp and sea bass, most dishes come enhanced with rich sauces and curries. Chicken is served in a tangy tamarind sauce, and vegetarian gobi aloo sautees cauliflower and potatoes in garlic, ginger and spices. Tall glasses of mango lassis help cut the spice.
