Who fancies a curry?

Fourth week in the month means Indian and I am always more than happy to see this week arrive!  Chef Daniel Craig and his crew in the kitchen have got the spice just right in these dishes.  If you like something with quite a bit of heat, why not try the beef madras.  Want something a little milder, then try the chicken tikka.  And remember, you can always request that the kitchen makes it a little hotter.  Go on, you know it's time you give Indian cooking a try.  Pictured here is the mango mousse tart and I can assure you it tastes just as dreamy as it looks!

 All our dishes are freshly prepared, but the wait is definitely worth it!  Come in and try some of our Indian cuisine.  You will not be disappointed.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  Relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere.  You'll find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  We'd love to have you join us.
