 I don't know if it is the same people who ran the one in Oakland (never
 ate there) - but I did go there early this week for lunch, had the
 buffet (I think it was around $7) - and enjoyed the food.

 I'm not an officianado so I cannot really rate it against any particular
 scale - all I can say is it tasted good to me.

 I ate their yesterday.  I had pappadam (free) onion nan, lamb saag,
 kulfee, and mango juice.  It was quite good, generous portions, and
 cost $25 including tip.  I'll be going back soon....

 I ate there with a guest again on Monday.  Had the mixed tandoori
 grill, paratha, a spinach dish whose name I can't remember, and
 desserts.  They also had a tea which was amazingly good!  I don't like
 tea, and had two cups...  The food was excellent, and the service
 impeccable.

 I also had the opportunity to talk to the owners, who made us feel
 right at home.  They are just starting out and don't have a lot left
 over for newspaper advertising, so don't expect to see a lot of print
 adds.  They do plan to have a coupon in the Entertainment Book this
 fall.  There was no wait either time I have been there, so
 reservations are probably not needed.  Parking is not a problem.  They
 also have a lunch buffet, from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm.

 They have a full menu, comparable to the other Indian restaurants in
 the area.  I would highly reccommend it to anyone who likes Indian
 cuisine.  Give them a try!

 It is between the southern entrance to Northway Mall and Browns Lane,
 in a location which used to be a bagle store, and before that
 Bellybuster's Hoagies.

 I did not ask if they are the ones who owned the Taj Mahal on Atwood
 St.  I will next time I am there....
