The food is absolutely amazing, the spice combinations are both delicate and powerful...the only thing is, their take-out business is so popular you may end up waiting for up to an hour to have your meal served...so order take-out or be prepared to imbibe and talk at length about all sorts of topics in a lively & comfortable setting...either way, you won't be disappointed once it's time to eat!
