💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra naan bread on the side to soak up the rich sauces from your main dishes.
- Expect a lively, noisy environment where staff will bring out large family-style platters rather than individual plates.
- If you have dietary restrictions, speak directly with the server before ordering as many traditional items are cooked in shared oils.
