After reading positive reviews for this place we thought "ok we'll get one good vegitarian meal out of the visit to Monterey". Yeah right! Worst Indian cusine we've ever eaten. Canned mixed vegatables in the Korma, yes the kind with the cubed carrots and lima beans. Everything was over salted, so bad i couldnt eat the food, nor did i... more

I've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. The lunch buffet was average. The food lacked flavor and seemed to have been sitting for a while. We sat outside in the patio area which was very pretty on a sunny day. I thought lunch here was very average. Friends recommended that I try dinner and it was... more

We tried a new bread and were pleased with the ajwain seeded naan. Finished... more

I felt I was left alone a little too much and a little too long, especially considering the waitstaff was not busy with other tables. That being said, I really enjoyed the food and took home leftovers. Parking was suprisingly easy,... more

Found this restaurant on Trip Advisor, great find. Food and service were great, good atmosphere for a mid- week so obviously popular with locals. more

Service is great, attentive and friendly. I've taken my Mom there twice and she really liked it. She commented that it was even better the second time we went. She’s always been rather belligerent toward exotic or spicy food but we ate Indian food in NYC because it was in our coupon book and she was rather charmed by it.... more

They were prompt and friendly. The food is very good. We had an appetizer, two entrees, two drinks and an order of nan for $39 with tip included. They have... more
