A little taste of India!

If you guessed this week's menu is Indian, you would be correct!  The great thing about these dishes is if you prefer your meal a little hotter, a little spicier, than mild or even medium, you can ask your server to get the kitchen to kick it up a notch for you.

McGill's is fully licensed with Garrison beer on tap, bottled beer and an excellent selection of wines.  Or try a cocktail.  Just in case you are wondering, our cocktail of the week is mango Mai Tai.  Yes, please!  Our featured beer will either be Kingfisher or Raspberry Weed.  Finish off your meal with an tasty specialty coffee. 

All our dishes are freshly prepared, but the wait is definitely worth it!  Come in and try some of our Indian cuisine Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until close.  You will not be disappointed.  Our goal is to give you a memorable dining experience which will have you coming back time after time.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  Reservations are encouraged.  This is relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere.  You'll find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  We'd love to have you join us.
