Good Food, Poor Service
Their food is amazingly good, worth the price (14 for an entree), and the owner, Bill G is always there with a friendly smile. However, unless he himself is waiting on you, the service is dreadful. We have been twice with a friend who knows him, and it was excellent, fast, attentive.
We have also been twice without this person, and it was atrocious service. They forget your drinks and food, they don’t bring your meal out when it is done, they let it sit on the counter. The only nice thing this last time, is that they took our drinks off the bill (although they did charge us for Naan we ordered but never got) and gave us free dessert (rice pudding, which is not my favorite). That did not even come close to the 15 minutes we had to wait to order with our menus closed, looking around for our waiter, having to remind the waiter to bring our drinks when he brought the appetizers, and sitting there for 20 minutes with one of the four things we ordered while the waiter seemed to be making an effort to avoid us. We tipped the cost of the drinks.
The food is worth 5 stars.
The service is worth one star.
I suggest you order take-out, or through Dinner Delivery. The food is a little expensive, so the extra 8 bucks is nothing.

Good Food, Wish There Was Less Seafood
I really enjoyed the Garlic Chicken. VERY garlicy and spicy, although the quality of the chicken was not fabulous.
The Tom Yum was nothing special, tasted like what I make at home, and there’s a reason I usually order it from restaurants. ;)
All of their appetizers with meat seem to have seafood (except the satay), which was a bit of a disapointment, as I can’t stand seafood.

Awesome Soup, Pizza, Appetizers
Their Italian Wedding Soup is AMAZING, as are the fried cheese raviolis (Lots of tasty cheese, not just tasteless mozzarella like some places).
We usually get the “Italian Stallion” to go (after the soup and raviolis, we’re pretty full), and eat it around midnight. Still delicious.
We tried their pasta once, and it wasn’t excellent. Tasteless italian sausage.
VERY HIGH CALORIES, as to be expected from an italian place. ;)
Dishes I tried:
Italian Wedding Soup
Delicious, lots of meat, with tasty croutons and cheese on top. Very high calorie, could make dinner out of just a cup of this soup.

Good For Take-Out
Really great Vindaloo and Tikka Masala. Paneer Pakoras are delicious, as are the Chicken.
Naan is extra, but worth it.
The carpet is terrible, sticky with what I assume is soda residue, so we usually get it to go. Great waitstaff, but the place is usually pretty bare, maybe because it is very hidden in the corner of the strip mall.
The lunch buffet is good, Naan is complementary then and brought to the table.

Great Appetizer Sampler
We’ve been here twice. The first was when the Red Hook Brewery’s restaurant was closed, and once when we were on a Mexican food streak (we ate Mexican food once a day for 11 days).
Both times, we just got the appetizer sampler, and it was super good and filling. Maybe not 100% authentic (with the beer battered mozzerella sticks). Their salsa and chips were delicious as well.

Spicy Chicken and Gyoza can't be beat
The spicy chicken is amazing, not too vinegary like some places. Pretty spicy, too, so be ready to chow on rice, or pick up some milk.
The Gyoza are AWESOME, I usually mix the sauce packets with the extra teriyaki, and it makes a great sweet/spicy/salty dipping sauce.
The people at the counter are always nice, and the food comes out very fast. I usually call ahead about 10 minutes away, and it’s always waiting for me. Very clean if you want to eat in, but not a ton of space.
Dishes I tried:
Spicy Chicken Teriyaki
Delicious, and just spicy enough. Not vinegary.
Gyoza
Yummy and Fried. I mix the two sauce packets (soy sauce and hot oil) with the extra teriyaki from my entree.
