| - I love going here on Friday nights because of the belly dancing! They always have a different dancer every time I'm here. If you want some entertainment while dining in, belly dancing starts at 7:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The music starts getting louder with the belly dancer in the house. In the evenings, they also light up candles at the table, eliciting this romantic vibe. I personally think it's best to dine inside because of the fragrant aroma of Indian spices, which is lacking if you choose to sit outside the patio area.
The food is always on point here. I enjoy all the curry dishes there. My top two favorite curries are the chicken tikka masala and methi chicken, consisting of rich flavors and spices. You can't have curry without the naan. I love dipping the garlic naan into the curry. The biryani, a flavorful Indian rice dish, is undoubtedly worth a try. I had the prawns biryani, and everything was well-seasoned and tasty. A cooling yogurt sauce was provided with the dish. To top it off, complimentary chai tea is provided. I like to add some sugar to the tea as it changes it from bland to just right. My boyfriend requested chutney, a side dish with a hint of spice, to add to our meal.
Warning: the service is slow. It took awhile for us to receive our menus. Then, it took a little longer for the waitress to take our order. Finally, our food came out in 30 minutes even though it was not a full house. I would suggest that they provide some complimentary snacks, e.g. bread, while the guests are waiting. I have ordered togo before, and they're super efficient at getting my order ready. I would call in my order, and the food would be done in 30 minutes for pick-up. If you're in a rush, I suggest ordering take-out.
Overall, the portions are not big enough for the price. Four stars for the delicious food, and two stars for the service while dining in. Average of 3 stars.
