The eatery has something for everyone: quick and casual buffet-only lunches, more relaxed full-service dinners, speedy takeout, terrific Indian and Indo-Chinese dishes, and a modern dining room with a few village-y touches, like copper-bottomed serving bowls and thatched-roofed booths.

Information: 505-6950.

Prices: $15 or less at lunch, $25 and less at dinner.

Mom scoop: There was no kids menu when we visited, but the owner said he plans to add one. Most dishes are served family style, so sharing is easy and expected. It's casual and loud enough during lunch that a noisy kid won't turn heads. At dinner, it's a little more subdued and grown-up, so takeout might be the better option if someone hasn't had his nap. Our takeout order was ready when promised and neatly packed. And, while the restaurant can make things spicy, dishes like palak chicken (white chicken in a creamy, mild sauce with spinach), steamed basmati rice, gajar halwa (carrot-and-honey pudding), mango lassi (yogurt smoothie) and tandoor-baked naan bread are mild enough for many little ones.
