I'm a Brit, so we eat a lot of curry back home. It's hard to find an authentic curry in the US, so I'm rating this place based on my US experiences. I had a chicken curry, I asked for extra spicy. The sauce was pretty good, not perfect, but better than most. Extra spicy means a Brit level medium +. It certainly wasn't Vindaloo spicy, but it did make my nose run and a slight watering of the eyes. The chicken was nice, a lot of brown meat, which I find tastier and not so dry. I would rate this curry a 3 back home, but you're not going to get much better here. Perhaps the Little India Cafe in Sunnyvale is better. Service was nice AND they didn't bring my check until I asked for it, which I find very polite (just like home), or maybe it was because they were quiet....
