We grew up eating here and it’s been our regular back-up plan when nothing else appeals. The steaks are always cooked perfectly. The roasted chicken is delicious. The salads (I’ve heard) are fantastic. But there’s one best kept secret here: the burgers. They’re phenomenal. Go now.

One thing you must eat at this Little 5 Points institution: garlic fried rice. It goes so well with their curry dishes.
I also love the naan here. They’re buttery, yeasty, and has just the right amount of char. Believe me when I say I eat two orders of it all by myself. P.S. The garlic naan is sooooo good.
The menu here is all over the place, having both South and North dishes, with not one particular specialty. Taste-wise, they’re pretty good — as good as any Indian in town can be — but with fresh, quality ingredients to compensate. Case in point, they use real paneer in their Saag Paneer (though, the one at Tandoor blows everyone away). Their creamy curries are respectable but lack the appropriate heat I long for when spicy curry cravings hit. Still, it’s worth a try. Other notables include the creamy Chicken Tikka Masala and the über tender and moist Tandoori Chicken.
Can’t decide what to get? Go for the set dinner menu ($19.99 for one person) with its assortment of dishes.

Haru’s tonkotsu ramen has been consistently amazing these past few weeks. Want to jazz up your soup like I do? Add a soft-poached egg for $1.00 extra. You can thank me later.
