We went there on a Saturday, about 5pm. They had just opened and were a bit slow. There was a jug of water on the table, labeled as Culligan. The menu is gigantic! It takes a long time to go through it all. And there is a huge vegetarian section, too. I recommend viewing it ahead of time.
There are booths on the outside of the room and tables on the inside. It connects to an area next door, which is their party room. I think the lunch buffet is there, too. There was Indian MTV of some variety playing on the TVs.
We ordered Vegetable Samosas, Lamb Curry (a la carte), Naan, and Goat Saag (thali). You have the option of ordering A La Carte, which is your curry and a bowl of rice, or Thali, which comes with rice, naan, soup, dessert and some other stuff. You'll have to see the pictures below.
The Vegetable Samosas were great! They were actually kind of spicy, which I'm not used to. They came with tamarind and mint sauce. Well, they called them chutneys, but they were more like a sauce.
The Lamb Curry was really good. I ordered it Medium, which was just right for me. I could taste the heat, but it wasn't so hot that I couldn't eat it. The lamb was "diced" into small pieces, kind of like small stew meat size. My basket of Naan had 4 pieces (a full round naan).
Frank had the Goat Saag. It was also in small pieces, but his had some bone in it, too. He figured that wasn't unusual if you were hacking up a goat joint. Also, check out all the stuff in the Thali selection below! There's rice, naan, some kind of soup - maybe lentil, some yogurti thing, and fried okra.
The okra was sliced up and fried in a skillet, not deep fried. And it was really good. It looked kind of weird, like it might be burnt, but it was delicious. No slime! Frank put some yogurt stuff on it and that was good too.
Frank got his goat Hot, and the waiter warned us it was Indian Hot. We found it amusing, because we're used to spicy foods, but if you're from this area or the Midwest, please be careful how hot you order your food. The Hot was very hot, because Frank had a good burn and his nose was running.
The food was really good and the ambiance is fine. The old building was orange on the outside and this one is orange on the inside. The service was a bit slow, but they had just opened for supper, so I don't hold it against them. They don't currently have a takeout menu, so use the website for any To Go orders. Overall, I'm giving them 4 to 4-1/2 stars.
