    The food and the service were, as usual, outstanding. The waiters are just the right amount of attentiveness, food was served in a timely manner, and everything was delicious. One of our favorite restaurants!

    4 of us, ate and talked a long time and never felt we were being rushed. 4 entrees, 2 appetizers. All flavors very delicious and cooked nearly perfectly. Lamb shank with carrots&raisins rice (sweet to balance savory) was outstanding - uber tender meat falling off the bone like buttuh!

    A nice wide variety of dishes, especially a good number vegetarian options. The dishes we had were flavorful and zesty. Similar in many ways to Indian food, but spicing is different. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the dishes and was able to describe differences between dishes that looked similar on the menu. Then she graciously comped us a dessert when we said we were full. 😊
