    I ordered take-out close to closing time, around 9:25pm, and arrived around 9:50. They were still taking new walk in takeout orders at that time, so I didn’t expect the kitchen to be shutting down yet. My chicken tikka masala was good, but the butter chicken was made with shredded tandoori-style chicken instead of cubed pieces like most places, which made it drier and less flavorful than expected. My garlic naan was good too. The gulab jamun was a good value, three pieces for about $4, but the syrup tasted more like the packaged store versions and wasn’t the bright red syrup I’m used to from other restaurants. Service was polite, but my pickup order sat cooling on the counter while I waited behind a group placing a new order. Overall an okay experience, but not one I’d go out of my way to repeat.
