Very good food in a very modest place. They serve Halal meat, which is very tasty an tender. Try the Nehari dish, is very special.
They serve also Indian curries.
The service and the atmosphere are typical of unexpensive restaurants.

Excellent food, very authentic, decent service, and the decor is typical South Asian. Alas, I didn't come for the service or ambiance, it's all about the food here!!!!! Very good, for me it's like going to someone's home to have a family meal. They are extremely busy, but well worth the wait. Would go back in a heart beat.

Wow, there isn't a better Indian/Pakistani food place anywhere. We have travelled worldwide, and the food was great, and the service was just great. Very friendly staff, who really cared what we thought of each meal. You can't find a better lunch than their Lunch Special, which was only $6.99, including paneer, tandori chicken, a curry chicken (best on the plate... amazingly smooth and rich), a garbanzo curry and some veggie medley which my wife found a bit spicy but I thought was perfect. Add a couple of naan, and we were struggling to finish our meals! Park on the side street for convenience, but you just can't beat the value plus the atmosphere was diner-like, what a fun place. Thanks, and we will be back for sure.

It cost a little bit more than the other menu items, but we really like the Lamb Chops marinated in spices and cooked in special clay oven (I think it was $13.99). We also like the Aloo Palak (potatoes and spinach), chicken biryani, garlic naan as well as the plain naan. Everythings taste really good. The mango lassi is delicious, too.
Atmosphere is ok, service was good.

This place has some of the best authentic Indian cuisine. The Decor isn't really appealing. The service is really lazy or dumb, not sure which one. However, the food is so good. The tandoori, the sauces, and the nan, its all just mouthwatering and I usually tend to overeat. This place is a hidden gem. Its not the place you take a first date, but it is a place you can try after your comfortable with someone...
