YES! Weve been there twice, this time the guy totally remembered us and what we ordered! Whoa. They have 1/2 off groupons all the time, if you havent done groupon, let me send you an invite for it (unlikely, i know). what have you ordered? both times weve gotten chicken saag and chicken makhani (butter chicken) and garlic naan, once we got tandoori chicken.
