| - Like the Second Best Marigonld Hotel movie, this didn't quite live up to my expectations. We tried a sampling of appetizers and entrees. The ground chicken dip appetizer and samosas were quite good - the chicken is served with naan for dipping and is creamy good. The samosas were hot and crispy on the outside. For entrees, we tried the standby tikka masala, which seemed too much like thick tomato soup for me. The kashmir korma was good but pretty bland - it was ordered mild, but ended up not being very flavorful. The vindaloo was hot and spicy as expected. We also tried a tandoori shrimp and the shrimp biryani. Both were good, but would have been better without the shells of the shrimp. It was crowded and felt a bit cramped, but may have to try it for a quieter lunch to see if it's more relaxing. Prices are overall fair, but creep up quickly if you order a glass of wine or two at $10 each (samosa, tikka, naan, 2 wines = over $50 with tip. Overall, it was OK and competes with other Indian restaurants in town.
