In Short – Tandoori specialties here cost so little and taste so tender it's hard to believe other places charge double. Seasoned lamb chops are the biggest splurge on the menu at $9.99. The chicken korma is a creamy blend of spicy meat, yogurt, tomatoes and herbs. Service is friendly and courteous, with every attempt made to keep the place neat and clean despite gritty surroundings.

Great food. Good price.
by Antonius
We went here to satisfy a craving for Indian food after reading the reviews and were not disappointed. The tandoori prawns were flavorful and delicious, although a little pricey at $13 for 5 of them. The other entrees, such as gobi aloo, lamb vindaloo, and others were reasonably priced and quite flavorful. We had some garlic naan and keema naan, both of which were delicious. They were chewy and thick and probably some of the best tasting naan we have ever had. We started the meal with some papadam and samosas, both of which were quite tasty, especially the papadam. Overall, we spent about $50 before tip and ate until we were going to explode.
- Pros: Great Naan, tasty entrees
- Cons: Kind of a seedy area
