Food: traditional Indian Cuisine

Try the chicken samosa--a deepfried tender treat, lightly spiced. Have a side dish of deep fried vegetables, lightly breaded with a thin tender crunch.

Kima naan (Indian bread) is like a flat breaded sandwich with a slice of spiced lamb. Dip this in the chicken tikka masala for a wonderful mix of tastes. Out of all of their naans, this one is highly recommended, their best.

Tandori chicken is brough out on a smoking hot plate. It has quite the presentation and plus, it tastes absolutely delicious, not to try like many Indian restaurants.

Drinks: full bar and wine selection

Interesting Tidbits: The tandori chicken is marinated for 12 hours.

Average Price Range: $20-$50 a person
