Pretty good Indian curry, though it's a bit more hurby than other places.

We always get takeout and there are a variety of fun specials during the week to encourage return trips. Prices are sneaking up a little bit as long as they don’t get too expensive I will eat here frequently. Never dined in, doesn’t seem super well suited for it.

I got reply from the owner and they talked about history and saying I am creating division kind of nonsense. Let me explain their tantrums now! Well, they talked about history and trying to tell that once upon a time Whole South Asia was under Lord Rama, doesn't mean everyone from south will start claiming Golden Lanka's Gold. My point was not division or anything but hijacking the brand name. It's like selling Adidas look like sneakers named as Abidas. The fact is that even if three nations were together, and if so then why can't you write the great Bangladeshi Restaurant or Srilanka Restaurant, the fact is that you are trying to steal india name to just sell garbage. For that matter you can get any 2 guys from any part of India and pay them as a partner. The whole idea was that when you eat food it doesn't represent india at all. Your food's smell, cooking style and taste is like Bangladeshi food. That's why I used Bangladeshi restaurant. What if someone makes silk in china and sell on the name of Bangladesh which this nation makes really good. Wouldn't Bangladeshi people criticize that? Yes they will and should. So don't try to tag me as a divider just for your nonsense bad quality bad tase and smell food ever again. You get it? My Review was a below: First things first. This is not an Indian restaurant; they just named it to give the impression of being Indian. Secondly, the stench in the curtains is a reason I will never go to such a restaurant. The food was cooked in some low-quality oil that tasted terrible; nowhere in India do people cook with such inferior oil. Perhaps some people like this place and think it represents Indian culture, but it is nowhere near what authentic Indian restaurants are or the food they make. This is one of the worst establishments with low-grade, low-quality food and the most awkward, bogus interior I have ever visited. The owners seem to be Bangladeshi, and, just like in New York, these Bangladeshis are using Indian names to sell and run restaurants, which is illegal and unethical. They must shut down this garbage and stop ruining the cultural heritage and quality of Indian food. The Indian culture is not what this restaurant is presenting. The last time the curtains were likely washed would be 10 years ago. These curtains have oil-absorbed dirt, and it's a dust-filled place. Any Indian who knows how poorly maintained and unauthentic this Bangladeshi-run restaurant is, cashing in on the name of India and tarnishing its reputation, would never go back there—except, perhaps, some Bengalis from India.

I relatively recently moved to the area, I am from a small town with very little food diversity/choices. I decided to give something new a try. LET ME TELL YOU. I had an out of body experience. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and a samosa with green chutney. It was one of the most delicious meals I have ever had in my life. My pants button was bursting at the seam and I couldn’t stop eating. I am a changed woman.
