    Food is really very good, but one of our dishes that was ordered with medium spice came with barely any spice at all. The menu is more extensive than many Indian restaurants. Service was pretty slow even though the restaurant was not crowded. Price can't be beat, particularly when you are providing your own alcohol. I will definitely return.

    The food was amazing! My husband and I shared the salmon dish which had a delightful spicy pineapple sauce over mashed sweet potato and a side of Brussel sprouts. Waiter was attentive and our water pitcher was filled several times before it was emptied. Music was a bit loud and the lights from the Capital One Arena were very distracting.
