The lunch Thali Special (11-15h) is excellent, and under $10 for naan, rice, tandoori chicken, and two small curries! After lunch the price goes up a tiny bit but still definitely worth it :) Also, it's bring your own alcohol so don't hesitate to stop at the dep across the street and pick up a few beers or a bottle of wine before you go in!
