Wonderful food, made fresh to order! Amazing service! The husband owner that I talked to was very, very kind and also very informative. I got the garlic Nan, the chicken curry,the sagg, and the chicken Tikka masala. They even give you tasty chia masala tea while you wait. It was all top notch 5 out of five stars.
