The best we've had in Cambridge so far!!! The rice is awesome, spring rolls too and the chicken balls ACTUALLY have chicken in them. Not like a cat treat surrounded by dough.
oh my God, its fantastic food. i missed my 5 year in an indian feast not finding such kind of indian restaurant and thanks to one of my friend who took me there.just believe me you will get better than india.
the owner is a great artist.
As per another reviewers comments I have overlooked the shabby outside appearance and gone a few times to Grain of Salt. its gone downhill.
First went 3 years ago hot delightful food. service was slow thou.
Now 3 years later and 2 tries in 2 months and I have to say its on my bad list now.
Appetisers were oily, oily, oily did I say that enough?
The chicken tikka which I have had the best from family friends, was downright unedible and the chicken korma was 4 pieces of chicken and A terrible sauce.
I couldnt finish it, it was so bad.
So in closing this place has gone downhill and i will not go to again.
Once again Cambridge has no good indian restaurant.
The best butter chicken in the entire world you will love it. I highly recommend this place to my friends. Just try the food with your favorite beer. You are gonna love it.
