Absolutely delicious Indian cuisine prepared with a light hand and attention to detail. Everything was beautifully served, piping hot and prepared to the diner’s spice-level preference. A very solid wine list with modestly priced bottles suitable to pair with the dishes completes the experience. This place is a true gem.
