| - Do not hesitate to eat here! It's good. You order kind of like at Chipotle- pick your meat, pick your rice, pick your bread, pick your sauce. I had lamb meatballs, white rice, naan and tikka masala. I also ordered samosas and a side of lava sauce. Spent $16. They had free fire sauce in a dispenser next to chopped jalapeƱos, onions and lemon wedges.
The naan was very good. It was thinner than I like but it worked. The tikka masala was thin also. I like to have a thick piece of naan with a curry as thick as ketchup. This curry was soupy. Also, not as rich as I like. I was suspicious that preparing it this way was more cost efficient and less time consuming, but I was rightly corrected that this recipe is actually a healthier way to prepare tikka massala. Either way, it was good. The lamb meatballs were nothing special. I ordered the chicken on a second visit- delicious! Samosas were good. 3 for $2.69. Pav Bhaji was a meal size serving of vegetable curry and a grilled roll, $6.99. Very good!
All in all, the food was better than average and I'd eat there again, but one of the big reasons I give 4 stars, which I don't do often, is because I loved the hot sauces, chopped jalapeƱos and mint sauce. The food was stand alone good, but being able to make it hot puts it over the edge for me. I love spicy food and I don't mean black pepper- I want it HOT!
There's also a kid's menu, folks! Take your kids there and expose them to a truly great culinary tradition- not to impugn the cabbage roll.
Also, there's a hand washing station by the soda fountains in the dining area. That's really cool! You don't have to go the the restrooms and touch knobs and handles. It's a "hands free" hand wash.
