| - Definitely a small restaurant in a small strip mall. We went on a Friday night and to their credit, when we got there, no one was there. Shortly after we got there, the whole restaurant was full. The good: the Naan is outstanding, served hot, nicely flavored, etc... Probably best Naan I've found in CLT. The chicken tiki Marsala was very good, nice depth of flavor. The samosa were nice and seemed fresh made versus frozen. The chicken tiki boti was so spicy, I could barely eat it. Had it been served with rice or rialta, I probably would have enjoyed it more. Instead, there was a watery cilantro that just didn't cut it. We ordered water and couldn't get a refill if we had been on fire. Twice I got up to go find a pitcher myself. I can forgive some lax service for small mom and pop places, but this went beyond. I might go back for take out and give it one more try, but it is definitely not worth the sojourn to this out of the way strip mall for this mediocre experience. They do have a wide variety of afghani/paki/Indian menu, so perhaps they offer that what you can't get at Saffron or Chiaputi.
