The staff is prompt and friendly, the food unusual - you can find it with and without 'bite' - this is a great introduction for those afraid of Indian food and spices. And you'll keep coming back for more!...

4.0 of 5 stars. Fantastic Indian - the Major Grey's Chicken is to die for. The rest of the stuff are all pretty good, but pales in comparison to the MG's Chicken. I'd go just for that one dish!

Not impressed

We live down the street and have been there numersous times, and never think the price is worth the food. Royal India in Juanita is ten times better.
