Holy thermal underwear, Batman! This place is AWESOME!
I have been a couple times before, but I revisited today and it was just a zillion times better than I remembered from a few years ago.
The patio is great, I don't know many Indian places that have a patio!
We walked over through Christie Pitts, you can start to smell all the aromatic spice goodness from about 50 meters away.
One thing I noticed was that the service here has really been stepped up a notch. They had many servers on hand and everyone was extremely prompt and polite. Water was refilled numerous times.
The portions are pretty huge for indian food. We were starving (3 of us) and we ended up taking half our food home because we ordered too much.
I tried the Tandoori Chicken Tikka - excellent, huge portion (about 12oz chicken! all white meat). We also ordered a chicken korma, a chicken tikka masala (chicken overload!) and a mushroom curry dish which were all super tasty.
They asked how spicy we wanted each dish prepared (mild, medium or spicy) which is useful as my mom has extremely low tolerance to spicy foods.
The naan breads here are GIANT. Only $1.95 each so we ordered 1 each and couldn't finish them.
4 entrees, naan, rice and 2 beer came to $65, not bad at all considering I have enough food in the fridge to feed me for 3 days.
