The curries of northeast India, in particular, are different from other parts of India.
"The way we cook the curries, it is not made from powder. Here the curry is made from scratch from onions, tomatoes, fresh herbs and unique blend of different spices, " co-owner Arun Sandhu said.

There is a variety of meat dishes with beef, chicken, shrimp, cod, lamb and goat.
"A lot of people are trying goat curry and loving it. Goat meat is better than red meat (beef)," Sandhu said.
Complimentary housemade sauces include mint chutney with mint, onions, herb, spices and chiles; or tamarind sauce, which is a molasses-based sauce described by Sandhu as sweet and sour and perfect for samosas and appetizers.
A popular side served with nearly every meal in north India is chopped onions with fresh, hot chilies and lime.
