"Typically, I order just two items there: the G5 Pizza (a white pizza topped with basil oil) and Lamb Saag (tender lamb cubes in a spinach curry sauce). I enjoy them together, creating a delicious combination of lamb, spinach, and cheese. And I can’t resist getting a mango lassi every time! Most of the patrons seem to prefer takeout, but over the years I've spent here, I've always chosen to dine in, often with a large group of friends or occasionally on a date. One of the best things about introducing people to this restaurant is that they often return, bringing friends, family, or coworkers along, and they tell me they had a wonderful experience too. One quirky aspect of this family-run Indian restaurant is that they’ve started producing their own frozen food line, which is sold from freezer cases at the front. I assumed this targets those who buy fresh food but I could be wrong. I would be interested in trying them, but given how close I live, I’m not particularly motivated to purchase frozen Indian meals. If they made frozen pizzas with lamb saag, I’d definitely have to give that a try! Sometimes I feel that review pages attract negative feedback from those intent on criticizing places. Consequently, many of the quirky and interesting restaurants are unfairly rated. This restaurant is certainly unique, and I personally love it. If you enjoy great food and distinctive, quirky eateries, you absolutely should give this place a visit!"
