WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

    Ty Smith
    I stopped by for a quick bite on my way home from work. My wait time was less than 5 minutes and the butter chicken with rice was outstanding! They will be opening the dining room soon with a bar for draft beers. They told me the menu will soon be expanding with paninis, platters, and also these quick-on-the-go options. I paid $11 for my meal and it was much more satisfying than any fast-food joint plus it's real food!! You should stop in sometime!!
    Durrell Nolt
