Fantastic food

I’ve been there many times since it opened a few months ago, and the service has been nothing but fantastic. I have no idea why the other reviewers had problems with the service, but it sounds like an aberrance from my perspective. The waiters are honest and nice individuals who try hard. Don’t knock them for being busy!

As for the food. It is bar-none the best Indian food in Iowa. WAY better than the crap spooned out by Taj Mahal and the restaurants in Iowa City. And they will make it spicy on request. Avoid the chicken sizzler (it’s basically a Fajita dish). If you want a tour of their better dishes, order (family style) Kadaai Chicken, Chicken Tikki Masala, and Palak Paneer with a side of naan (the bread basket). Tear off a little naan and scoop up some of an entree and eat it. For those that don’t know (and given the previous reviews, they are legion), that’s how you eat Indian food.

Don’t go for buffet, but then again, if you are considering buffet food, perhaps you’ll like it. But I think the buffet is as bad as any other Indian restaurant.

Dishes I tried:

Garlic Nann
