The Service: Attentive without being intrusive. Knowledgeable about menu items and happy to discuss dietary requirements, spice preferences, or ingredient questions. This is family service, not corporate automation.
The Connection: Every plate that arrives has a story. The tandoor technique passed down through generations. The spice blend that took years to perfect. The commitment to quality that means we'll never cut corners.
