Comments: Not the same Indian food that we are used to in Los Angeles.  They use quite a bit more onion and lots of peas in the veggie dishes. I won't penalize them too much for their use of peas.

We tried the Tandoori Mixed Grill which consisted of Tandoori Chicken, Seekh Kabab, Chicken Tikka and Boti Kabab.  The Seekh Kabob was a little over done and could easily have passed for a skewered meat loaf. I think being in North Carolina, the demographic prefers that they serve/cook the chicken off the bone, which makes it a little dry, but the flavor is still there.  

Our second dish was Lamb Korma, which is cubed lamb cooked with nuts in a cream (curry type) sauce.  Excellent when paired with the Basmati Rice.  This was definitely a treat after McDonald's for dinner and lunch, our two previous airport meals.

Of course we ordered some Nan (bread) - two types, plain and garlic.  Now this is where they score big.  When you use fresh chopped garlic and are liberal with it, you can easily get me to forget your party foul with the peas.  

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to try the Som Ras a mango milk shake or the Kulfi, an indian style ice cream made from simmered milk with nuts then frozen into ice cream.

They deliver to local hotels (Mon - Thur) for a minimum order of $10, which is easy to do for two people.  Weekdays feature an all you can eat buffet from 11:30a to 2:30, although lunch continues to be served until 3pm.  

 

Tips & Suggestions: Casual dining and they take credit cards. They don't deliver between 3 and 5pm.  In fact they may not be open during that time, but I didn't check.
