    I always wondered why this place seemed empty. We tried it tonight & realized that everyone else is missing out! Great food! A little spicier than other Indian places I've been to but, it was yummy!

    They will make a dish properly spicy if you ask. Pair any spicy dish with mango lassi and tamarind chutney to cool the palette.

    The buffet is lovely - many choices of good food. Seven days/week for lunch. Pleasant, peaceful restaurant with excellent food and service.

    Chicken Masala and Lamb Curry are my favorite. Don't forget the Nan!!! Best kept secret in Shirlington.

    Best lamb vindaloo I have ever had. Also, the papad and chutney are incredible. Service could have been better, but they were mega-busy. Very friendly waitress.

    the chicken tikka masala and the chicken vindaloo are truly awesome here - consistently tender, consistent flavor. although, the vindaloo is not for the faint of heart - the kitchen doesn't play aroun

    The portions do not look that big but they are! The serving dishes are deceiving so think of sharing especially if you are getting apps as well.

    Lunch Buffet on Sunday was 10.99. It was very tasty. Mostly chicken dishes and no lentils but the dishes they had were good.

    Service tends to be little slow even on the weekends. Meat samosas, crispy okra, and lamb stuffed bread were bleh. On the plus side they have the equally mediocre Haywards 5000.

    By far the worst meal in the past 5 years. We sat ignored for 20 minutes, drinks took another 30, and everything, but the Saag Paneer was painfully over-cooked. STAY AWAY.

    Make sure you order the Naan. It is done the right way.

    The weekday buffet is a good deal although Indian buffet is probably not a good idea if you have a busy afternoon scheduled.
