Best Indian in the City!

by Lena18 at Citysearch

Fantastic restaurant, went with a friend recently and had an amazing meal. The service was great and the food too. I'll definitely be going back especially since I found a great deal with buywithme when I was looking around. $30 worth of food for only $15. Here is a link for you guys to check it out: bit.ly/acEulM
