I voiced my disappointment to 2 separate servers, but my feedback meant nothing. This set the tone for the rest of the meal. The butter chicken and tandoori chicken were ok but lacked spice. Rather bland. If you're craving delicious Indian food do yourself a favor and drive a little further to Iselin. Many good Indian restaurants there.

Four of us and only one was not completely disappointed. Avoid French toast, waffles, scrambled eggs, noodles, lukewarm chai tea. $38 for juice entree and side not worth it.

Enjoyed all the dishes. Dosa croquettes- really good Chicken 65 - great flavor , perfectly crisp Goat cheese naan - the best Boneless tandoori chicken - very good flavor and chicken was tender Garlic mushroom dish - YUMMY !!! Chicken tikka masala - a tad bit sweet for my taste Chicken biryani - nice and light , and good flavor The halwas were great !!! The kulfi was a bummer - it was not a kulfi , it was ice cream.
