MaryMary: My faves: Chicken Tikka Masala (tender chicken in a tom cream sauce) or Saag (spin/tom/cream sauce) served over saffron rice w/peas; garlic nan! For the unadventurous, chicken tandoori is a sure bet!

Dan H.Dan Hostiuck: Love this place but don't order a soda. They prepour them into a pither so they're always flat. Other than that this place rocks. The lamb vindaloo is my favorite.

Drew V.Drew Vogel: Order the Chicken Tikka Masala with a naan and a cold Indian beer.
