MrNiceGuy said...: I tried them out on Friday and they didn't disappoint! One of the owners (the SUPER nice guy on the right in the photo) chatted it up with me and discussed the challenges of running restaurants during Covid. It was interesting to hear and he kept a more positive attitude than I'd expect anyone to have given the circumstances.

PLUS: the food is really good! North Indian food that is spiced the way you like it, plus great naan. I'll be back, glad to have them in the neighborhood!; August 31, 2020 at 5:10 PM
