The restaurant is laid out lengthways, and on weekend evenings, it's not unusual for Indian musicians to liven things up. The food is delicious and the menu endless. Friendly service and cool decor.

NOSH AND CHOW

If you are looking for a place that is not too touristy or too pretentious, this is a good address. The service is impeccable, whether you are a regular or not! The prices are reasonable.
