dares you to deny the flavor. there is no denying thisplaceis ugly. in fact, it is the most disheveled location i have ever voted up. but just as was previously commented, you will come for the flavor, and you will come back.
menu is biased a little more towards the pakistani, but you will find huge families of patrons on both sides of the himalayas loving the food here (no kidding...our party of 5 were the only caucasians in an 80% packed house, and there is a lot of seating). some of the staff do not speak english that clearly, but they are all very friendly, polite and patient.
not to distract from the food, though--it is no-nonsense, heavy, rich, generously-spiced subcontinental bliss. started with a deeply-colored mango lassi that had to have had at least half a mango gracing it. naan and chutney were world-class, and i would make a meal out of that alone. palak paneer was so, so rich, but it is the rich that will make your resistances melt...so do not come on a diet. between the sauce and the cheese itself was probably an entire quart of whole milk. mercifully, they do not oversize their portions, else i might have exploded.
sampled the other sauces, and they delivered a balanced spice profile and a weight appropriate to their respective dishes. this can traditionally mean a heck of a lot of ghee, so use them sparingly. oh, and one last note--basmati rice (prepared splendidly with a dashing of cumin/fennel) does not come with the meal like the naan does, so be sure to ask for it. one order is plenty to share among 2-3 people.
aside--the grocery is stocked with wonderful imported culinary curios, and their prices are more than fair. do not forget to check it out while you are there.
