By far one of our most beloved Indian restaurants. They usually have promotions going on 5pm or Groupon. The 7 courses sampler its a great way to try some of their extensive and exquisite menu. If you like Indian food, it's worth a try!

A very good curry just a couple of blocks away from the flat. Always busy with locals, the atmosphere is quite varied. The palak paneer (spinach and cottage cheese) is one of the best I have tried. They do take-aways.
