💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra naan immediately upon seating to soak up the rich sauces from your main dishes.
- Ask for the dal makhani to be served with a side of rice if you want a more traditional, balanced meal.
- Expect long waits during peak hours, so arrive early or grab a quick bite at the nearby food court before heading in.
