This is my 6th time here Olin the last year and it never disappoints. I was here several weeks ago and much to my delight they have just changed the menu - they do this every 4 months or so. Everything is good but the Biryani is not to be missed

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
