The masala was really excellent, the samosa had perfect texture and the sauces were delicious. Our server described the spice level perfectly. He recommended "medium +" to us, which was spot on. Everything was cooked to order, so it was fresh tasting and right out of the (tandoori) oven. It was fairly empty early on a weeknight, so it was nice and quiet. Terrific service at very reasonable prices.
