    The service was nonexistent. Our server did not check in once. No water refill either. We had to get his attention for the bill and he only asked how’s everything then.

    The Tikka Masala lunch special consists of five different items - all delicious, though the lamb Tikka Masala portion could have been a bit more generous. The Chaat Somosa was also a nice collection of flavors and textures and a nice portion size. You can’t go wrong with the Shiha Kurma - I’ve lamb and chicken. Very flavorful and generously sized - left- overs.

    Went for a pre show dinner and we were promptly seated. They had just opened so we had our choice of locations. As the restaurant started to fill, so did the noise level. Our service was sporadic. They do appear to be understaffed. Our food was delicious. I do wish they had a better description of the items they offered. We ordered the avocado and jalapeño fritters which I assumed would've been a mix of the two instead it was avocado, fritters and jalapeño fritters. Both very tasty but not what we were looking for. The cauliflower 65,000 was sitting under the heat lamp for a little bit too long otherwise that was tasty too. For an entrée, we ordered the chicken malai kebab, and it was very good. The food is plentiful and we were satisfied with our dinner. The menu is extensive and should have something for everyone. We will be back.

    The food was awesome and very reasonably priced. Our server AJ was very attentive and personable, with the food arriving at the table on a very swift manner.

    The chicken korma and garlic Naan were outstanding. Service was excellent, and the ink cocktail was very good. Like most places in Columbia it was a little noisy.

    Service was initially attentive, but slowed as the evening progressed. Eggplant & Chat appetizer was very good. Samosa was tasty, but could have been a bit warmer. Chicken Tikka Masalla & Lamb Korma were both delicious and sauce portions were very generous. Should have been much more chicken (skip the veggies) in the former. A few more pieces of lamb would have made the latter a 5/5. Both sauces could have been a bit spicier. Buttered Naan was hot and delicious. Excellent value for very good food! We’ll be back.

    If you aren't there at 5pm the service is excruciatingly slow. Lots of water, nothing else.
