Hey, It's not your average Indian place, in that it has a Nepalese owner and (as I understand) chef. That being the case, the flavours tend to be a little more muted. This may sound like a bad thing, but the taste profile very closely matches what I ate growing up in India. The spices don't punch you in the face...it's more of a light tap. If going for their Nepali dishes, I like the Aloo & semee (green beans with potatoes) and Palungo Ko Saag (spinach) or the Kukhura Ko Maasu (Nepalese chicken dish). Also worth a try is the Choyela and the momo's. When going there for Indian food, I stick to the tandoori offerings. This is primarily Indian joints can't seem to make curry dishes to my liking (too heavy on oil and/or cream), but also because I love, love, love Tandoori chicken and tikkas (nawabi or haryali). They do have the thali offerings as well. Good value and good for trying lots of stuff.
