We had an early Thanksgiving celebration with my brother-in-law at Musaafer's. We had eaten there before but everything seemed even better this time than before. For appetizers, we had Mithu's Coriander Shrimp, Seekh Kebab (beef), and Shammi Kebab. For the main dish, we had Butter Chicken Experience and Rizala Lamb Chops (my favorite). We also had basmati rice, garlic naan, and tandoori roti. And if that wasn't enough, we had 2 wonderful desserts that were beautifully presented. Everything was tasty, the ambiance was stunning yet quiet, and we will be back again, for sure. The waitstaff was great!

This was our first time trying North Italia and we absolutely will be returning. The waiter did a great job with recommendations and was extremely kind. We had the calamari and shrimp scampi as appetizers and they were both amazing! Then of course we had to try the vodka pasta and squid ink SOOOO good! We will definitely be returned very soon!
