FOOD: I'm no expert in Indian food so our hosts graciously offered to order for us. My favourite dish was the butter chicken, which they made mild since I can't handle my spices. I tried some other common dishes too, and found them all to be pretty good (but I have little to compare to).
SERVICE: there was 1 server working at the time, but since we were one of two tables of diners, the service was fast and attentive.
COST: A main dish for about $10-15. Add some rice or nann for a few bucks. Basically it ranges around what I would expect to pay for good Indian food.
OVERALL: A great recommendation by a friend. It's almost impossible to find tucked away in the back corner, but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, or simply craving Indian food.
