The server was very helpful and great. The food is tasty however the food is very pricey for the portion size. The atmosphere looks nice, and there is outdoor eating space, however there are only a few seats available.

We do like to try out curry whenever we travel. We both agreed our choices were fantastic. We will come back here. Im hoping we went at a quiet time. It deserved to be busier.

Delicious food in a bright and airy atmosphere. The live plants are a nice touch. Service was very good and food was really really good. The Tika and the lamb biryani were amazing. Definitely one of the best Indian food restaurants in San Diego.
