    Short handed on Christmas. Only one server and one chef. Kitchen looked filthy. Wine was poor and came in a dirty glass. Was a hair in one spinach entree. It was an hour till we got our food!! One had the buffet and entrees were cold!!

    This is our favorite Sunday casual restaurant. Harry is wonderful. Note most of their business is take out so the restaurant is usually empty - Its a very pretty place and we love being the only ones there. We always go on Sunday at 6pm so perhaps at other times it has more people.

    The food keeps getting better - I can't wait to go back tried the spinach pakora it was great completely different from the the vegetable pakora. May try the cheese pakora next. We always get the the punjabi lamb because it is so good.

    The food is consistently good. Note this restaurant never has many people in it as its very very popular for take out & Delivery. our favorite is the Lamb vindaloo & plain naan -all the vegetable dishes are great but this time we tried the vegetable pakora - it was a huge portion so for 2 people 1 lamp 1 pakora 1 rice 1 naan was a more than enough - took 3 pakora home.

    Both dishes were over-salted. Tandury Lamb Chops were burned, partially char coaled.
