We had the best meal here. My daughter is dairy and gluten free. There were several options for her including an appetizer and dessert. My husband and I ate at this location 12 years ago and have talked about it ever sense. It was wonderful to be able to go back and share it with our children. The food was just as good as we remembered.

This place has gone downhill. With all the other Indian restaurants opening in Asheville, you would think they would up their game.
