We were introduced to this restaurant from a referral. We have gone there 10 times after that in two months. Out of all the Indian restaurants we have eaten in London, India, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto this ranks as the best Indian food we have tasted in a restaurant... period.

Atmosphere and ambience is very good. We can't comment on the full menu because we have ordered the same thing 10 times! They have a well stocked buffet daily from 11:00am to 2:00pm for those of you who want to try a little of everything.

The Goat curry is simply to die for. You can order it mild, medium or hot. It has a very nice flavour and doesn't need too much heat to make it tasty. The meat is extremely tender and the curry is making my mouth water as I write this. Plain naan or Garlic naan is the perfect complement to this dish. Watch out for the portions as they are huge! One order of curry is enough for two people but go ahead and order two dishes and you will have some leftovers. For drinks they have a fully stocked bar including some Indian beer. My favorite with this dish would be a mango lasi. Indian deserts are sweet sweet sweet. They have the most outstanding Ras Malai we have tasted. Texture is soft and not spoungey topped with almonds and pistachios. Just perfect... my mouth is watering again. For those not too adventurous in indian sweets the Kulfi's are great (east indian ice creams). Available in plain and mango. Yummy.

It is fairly easy to get a seat right now but the word is spreading so get it while you can! Two new huge condos are opening very close to the restaurant.

Enjoy!...
