| - Small but clean store with 2 freezers and 1 refrigerator. Canned good were a bit of a jumble, but I think that they are just trying to have a varied inventory, with not very much space. After browsing the store section, I headed to the restaurant side. The owner greeted me, and began explaining what was in each dish. Since there are so many unfamiliar names and no descriptions, I found her help to be really welcome. I had really been craving tikka masala and ordered it, but her descriptions really made me consider other options (will have to try on a future visit!) In some places, they make you feel really stupid for not knowing what things are, but this lady really had a patient, kind of "teaching moment" mentality, without being condescending at all.
The tikka masala was super flavorful. Less creamy than I have had at other places, and a bit less spicy (which was welcome for me) but it had a very rich, well spiced flavor. She also gave me a small samosa, which was yummy. I will definitely come back!
