What we enjoyed:

The GQA Team was greeted by a very welcoming staff and Sanch was our waiter.

• We were first given a refreshing “Mango Lassi” a type of Indian smoothie made with sweet yogurt and mangos.

• Sherry, Michael and I all went over to the large buffet fit for a Maharajah, where you could fill your plate with meat and vegetarian curries, Chicken Tikka Masala, garden fresh salad, chicken salad, and vindaloo.

• As if this wasn’t enough, we were also given a basket of garlic naan and a sizzling plate of Chicken kebabs, with fresh onions, and peppers served with different sauces and chutneys.

As we enjoyed our meal, the atmosphere of the restaurant had an exotic tranquility. You could listen to the murmur of a beautiful water feature, and peer at the elegant Indian artwork.
