We always request a high top when going. With that said - go with the thought of relaxed dining. It’s usually very busy so don’t expect 5star service . Just enjoy the food and time being out. We love Renee -she is so friendly .

Food is really very good, but one of our dishes that was ordered with medium spice came with barely any spice at all. The menu is more extensive than many Indian restaurants. Service was pretty slow even though the restaurant was not crowded. Price can't be beat, particularly when you are providing your own alcohol. I will definitely return.

Food is fantastic. We come back each trip to Towson for the crab cakes and outstanding vegetable selections. The staff is excellent. Can be a bit noisy if parties are underway but that’s normal.
