| - Giving three stars because I had high expectations going in that were tempered by a few quibbles. But first, the good: the food was very good. The chicken vindaloo and chicken curry were both delicious. I was a bit surprised by the heat -- you can order any dish from 1 (mild) to 6 ("some like it hot"). I'm middle of the road -- I like some heat, but just enough to spice it up, not knock me over. I'll seek out the jalapenos on my nacho platter, and douse my eggs with Frank's Hot Sauce, to give you an idea. Sure, I recognize that it's somewhat subjective, but even so, the "3" on my chicken vindaloo was surprisingly hot - a little too much for my tastes. For what it's worth. My friend, who's a little less heat tolerant than me, ordered her dish as a "2", and the same went for her - just a little too much. There's a decent selection of craft beers, and the menu is extensive enough that I saw several items I'd like to try next time.
The place is clean, with a modern, austere vibe - concrete floors and exposed ceiling. In contrast to the food, the temperature in the dining room was brisk, so I'd definitely bring a jacket or sweater next time (our visit was in November, when you're hoping that the temperature inside is a little higher than in the parking lot!). The wait staff were courteous and helpful.
Tip: if you're going on a weekend, be sure to ask about thali - it's not on the menu, but it looked delicious.
