This is our source for Indian food delivery. It's not fancy or inventive like Vij (a must-try while you're in town!) but it's classic Indian food done well. We love their butter chicken (yes, all butter chicken is good, but theirs is REALLY delicious) and their Peshwari naaan -- naan stuffed with nuts, raisins and coconut.
