one of the best indian restaurants i've been to

i really like mitali east and my friend highly recommended this sister restaurant. i came here with two other people for sunday night dinner. the decor is nice and the overall ambience was quite romantic. the three of us decided to split the beef vindaloo (($11), murgha tikka muslam (chicken tikka masala, $13), and the mushroom shaag (mushroom with spinach, $9), along with poori, stuffed naan, and plenty of basmati rice. the vindaloo was very spicy but it was so flavourful that i just kept eating. the masala was milder, with juicy chunks of tender white meat in a creamy sauce. the mushroom shaag felt slightly oilier but was nicely spiced. everything went well with the sides of carbs. theres a lot of variety on the menu and prices are reasonable. bill came to ~$55 (including tip) and we were extremely full. service was non-obtrusive but efficient.
Pros: reasonable prices, variety, ambience
Cons: food can be heavy
