Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Reasonable pick if you’re after a relaxed, shared-meal setting—low-key but not romantic; better for established couples or casual outings.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are fine most nights, though groups of six or more should call ahead on weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—staff are accommodating and portion sizes work for families; mild curries and rice dishes are suitable for younger diners.
Best For
Better for: Late-night dining and hearty tandoori platters make it more flexible than nearby smaller curry houses.
Skip if: You’re after refined or regional-specific Indian—consider Amber India or ROOH for upscale execution.
