I am mixed. The food is very nice. Good, bold flavours. But, the prices and portions! Holy cow! The prices are 40% higher than any other Indian place in town. Butter chicken, $14. Tandoori Prawn $19. Channa masala $11!!!! And, the portions are 40% smaller than any other place. Too bad. I won't rush back. Better off going to Maroli or King Palace, where you can eat the city's best Indian for cheap.

The food is of a very high quality, and as you said strong and distinct flavors. They don't put out vast containers,so the food is constantly being refilled and stays fresh. I think I'll stick to my lunches there!!
