We walked to this restaurant that was near our hotel that was recommended in many city guides. we had oriiginally planned to go further away but decided to try this one based on word of mouth recommendations as well as proximity. Upon being seated the menu mentioned they cater to a lot of other people in the service industry (they do this by having an early happy hour and then a later happy hour- very clever). We ordered the tandoori appetizer and the shrimp was amazing, probably my best nibble of seafood on my six day trip in Monterey and SF respectively. I would order it as an entree next time. We then ordered a couple of curries of which you can choose your heat, we asked for ours medium, perfect for me but maybe a little hot for a less adventurous palate. The food overall was delicious with that lovely fragrance of good Indian food and the staff were all very friendly and genuinely seemed to like each other.
