We went here on a cold and rainy night a few weeks ago. The kabobs we had were a little dry and overcooked and did not have a lot of flavor. The eggplant was tender and moist and tasted like eggplant. The yogurt and tomato sauce made the eggplant a little sweeter.


The Kabeli Palow was not memorable as well and the samosas looked like fried won tons. It must have been an off night because everything tasted the same, none of the dishes really seemed any different than any other.
