Too bad they don't take reservations is really my only less positive comment. Our party of 4 waited for 1 hr to be seated on a weeknight so enjoy the lounge. I believe they have 10 beers on tap and a nice selection of cocktails. The food was pretty good, lots of flavour & decent size portion and served with naan and/or rice. We tried the samosas, eggplant & mutton kebabs to start. For mains we did the ling cod daily special, lamb popsicles and goat curry. The service was very good.
This was my two son's first forray into Indian food, and they were very impressed. We arrived just before the restaurant opened, and were promptly seated. The waiter arrived with some polenta fries, which my kids devoured instantly (we ordered a second batch). The curried chicken was excellent. The lamb popsicles were also superb. It was a memorable experience to see my children enjoy new foods. It is one of my wife's and my favourite restaurants.
