Best meal I have had in 2 years.

Indian family owned, fused with New Orleans preparation. For instance a curry gumbo, an indian play on BBQ shrimp, and baked oysters with indian spices.

Beautiful location and service was well above average.

We had:
Bombay Shrimp
Curried seafood gumbo
Garlic Naan
1/2 dozen oyster bed
3 Roti Sahti (The Raita was very nice and cooled off some of the spices of the other stuff)
Pork Vindaloo

Simply perfect meal and can’t recommend it enough.

Anyone else been?

We went last night and were thoroughly impressed, as well. We had a table of 12 and they served everything very timely and hot. The owner's kept coming to our table, along with all of the other tables, to check on our food and make sure we were enjoying everything.

I'll try and post more details about each dish later today.

Nice to hear. I've been wanting to go, but I keep hearing it's overpriced. It's on my list.

Didn’t at all think it was overpriced. I will say that if you get apps and small plates to share, an entree may not be necessary. My wife and I could tell we wouldn’t be still very hungry as the first courses were coming out so we split 1 entree.

Headed back for round 2.

Anybody been lately? Any menu changes? The online menu seems to still be the original one.
