India Curry House offers a menu from Northern India. These dishes have light seasoning to appeal to North American palates and are mild, medium or hot. Diners traditionally eat East Indian food with their fingers, but the eatery provides cutlery. The unassuming exterior and location of the restaurant contrasts with the inviting and warm interior décor. The menu is not expansive, but offers a variety of soups, appetizers, entrees and house specials. Worth trying is the mulligantawny muglai soup, the restaurant's version of a curried chicken soup. Its lentil soup is a blend of exotic spices garnished with fresh coriander. The tandoori chicken, marinated with yogurt and spices, is grilled and served with a side salad and chutney.
