Raman was an amazing server and was very attentive, We didn’t wait long for food and everything was fresh and delicious. The portions are HUGE I couldn’t eat more then half of my chicken korma My husband had the butter chicken and our little had the chicken fingers and fries. We also ordered the garlic naan bread which was so tasty and full of flavour. The restaurant is clean and quiet!

This meal was SO FABULOUS! Best naan bread I’ve ever had- plates are warm- spiced well! I love Indian food and would eat it at any opportunity anyways but this was SUPER YUM! I tell you this is worth the drive…’all the way’ from Nanaimo! The food was so good: I had to put up a review. (No alcohol) but lots of drinks to choose from including near beers.
