It is important to realize that different restaurants are meant for different occasions. Also, I look for value for money where value can be in the form of a delicious meal, ambiance, or personal service. I go to this place for a hearty meal and personal service.
Indian food can be from different regions and therefore can contain different ingredients, heat levels, and flavors. This place primarily serves north Indian food with tastes that can only be found in roadside restaurants in India. Food is, in other words, on the spicier and slightly greasier than what one would typically find in the Valley. The owner can customize heat levels though.
I have tried different dishes but one of my favorites remains Chicken Curry. Unlike many other places, meat is tender, flavorful, and often oven baked. Curry does not contain cream which is a big plus in my book. Chicken Tandoori (oven-baked chicken) is my another favorite. Chicken is moist and, unlike many other places, not rubbery. Everything is made to order so be prepared to wait.
A typical Yelp snob like me would typically take off one star for lack of distinct and pleasant ambiance but then this is not the place to go with your date or a romantic evening. This is the place where you can go with alone or with a group of friends and have a delicious meal.
