The Scene – Everything is oversized at this popular Indian eatery, from the monstrous revolving door to the mile-long open kitchen. Service vacillates between charming and perfunctory--fitting for a joint where diners take a numbered placard and choose their own tables. Service can be lacking, but again, a do-it-yourself atmosphere pervades. – – The Food – Wraps stuffed with lamb kebab and tandoori chicken might be this beloved mini-chain's claim to fame, but those in-the-know run straight for the snacky bits called chaat. Chickpeas and potatoes form the backbone of…

HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, ATROCIOUS SHACK!
by Tennisfanatic101 at Citysearch
Please, Please don't come to this restaurant! It had horrible service, horrible food, and I was glad to get out of there! I ordered an entre from the menu and was served only one forth of the meal for some reason and the waiter ( the only one) did not seem to understand and after waiting for 20 minutes, i was server the remaining portion. There was utter confusion in the restaurant and i was told that the only waiter was 'new'. I had to order dessert a few times before it showed up! I'm never going there again!
- Pros: The door
- Cons: EVERYTHING!

Great Tandoori wraps and good lunch spot
by nlim at Citysearch
They have increased their prices over the last few months so the value for money is not as high. The tandoori chicken wraps are very good sized, and the chicken tikka masala is my favorite. They marinade and broil the chicken bits before cooking it with the sauce so the chicken is flavorsome but still retains the tenderness. The portions tend to be single-serve so this is not really the place to order family style. It is a also great regular for tasty Indian food that isn't too greasy!
- Pros: Tasty Indian food at reasonable price
- Cons: Avoid the long lunch queues by going before 12pm or after 2pm
