My photo gallery 		This is officially restaurant #3 that Jatbar has reviewed in this location. The previous 2 were also both Indian places (the infamous Crazy Franks location) and were both solid.

Todays visit was equally good. We arrive and they were a bit disorganized behind the counter, but I am sure they are still experiencing growing pains. I looked at the menu, and while its a'la carte and there are a lot of expensive items on there, they also took care to offer a good number of relatively inexpensive items as well. Today I went with the Palak Paneer ($6.00), the Naan Simple Regular ($1.00!), and the Shan Basmati Rice ($2.00!).

While the Palak Paneer was solid, not overly runny and good spinach flavoring, the real winners were the cheap Naan and Basmati Rice. The rice was fully flavorful (I was worried when I saw the low price point), and the Naan was among the top tier in freshness, real good stuff. And only $1!

Usually I am not as keen on the non-buffet places, but the made-to-order freshness of the food really stood out here, and if you don't go extravagant on your naan or rice (since they offer upscale versions of both for more $) you can still come away with a great meal for not much $. Can't wait to return and try more items.
