| - I ate here last night. Food quality was very good and I would rank it on par with Sitara, another excellent Indian restaurant in town. We had vegetarian momos (like a dumpling) to start, followed by several entrees which we split as a group. The Malai Kofta was good, and most of the standards (tikka masala, various biryanis) were good as well. The entrees are very sharable if you come in a group. We ordered an extra portion of the naan...the pesto and garlic varieties were a nice touch. Prices are around $11 per entree and, with a $2 additional side, this is a pretty filling meal.
As for potential negatives: serving sizes vary a little bit, ranging from a lot of biryani to a little bit of Malai Kofta. However, a lot of the fun is getting the gravy/sauce/broth on some naan or rice, so the "smaller" entrees didn't disappoint in that area. The restaurant was slammed and it looked like they were understaffed in the front of house and a little overwhelmed in the back of the house. Overall, we spent about 1:45 at the restaurant, which is a little longer than I usually shoot for. All of the food came out great so the back of the house seems okay, but bussing was pretty slow at our table and we weren't given a full drink menu outside of a small card with wine.
Overall, with a few kinks worked out, this place is going to be a favorite of mine.
