The lamb Vindaloo or tempting chicken tikka are the current favourites and simply must be paired with the assorted bread basket.

"Needs to spice it up"
Dinner for 2 included vegetable Kebabs and lentil soup, followed by butter chicken and paneer makhani with garlic naan. The vegetable kebabs were tasty but no spice at all, lentil soup was good but flavored mostly by ginger. The main course did have a low spice heat level but no where near unable to eat. So if your looking for real Indian food and your a first timer you will love the food. But if your expecting the real deal its not even close to the spice that you get in India. Even if your we're in Mumbai and ask the chief to tone it down it would be much spicer then what you will get here. Service was great but we sat up front and the draft coming in from the glass window made us shiver. If you go ask to sit away from the window and tell them to spice it up when ordering you meals.

"A different kind of Lunch"
I don't know if it's the warm weather, but I tried something different for Lunch yesterday....Instead of the generic pasta again, I thought why not Indian!?...Loved the Décor of Dévi, staff was always smiling. Butter chicken was tasty as was the naan bread...for about $15 it sure beats fast food! Will go back, but maybe this time for dinner.

"Trying Something New"
My husband and I went out on a limb and decided to try Indian food for the first time. Our hotel recommended that we try a restaurant called dévi. When we walked into the place we were astounded at the beautiful decor and the many Indian artefacts gathered in the restaurant. The maitre d' greeted us at the door and led us to a nice table overlooking Crescent Street. When our waiter arrived, we told him that we were new to Indian food and would need some help with our order. He was very helpful, immediately setting our minds at ease. He suggested various selections that sounded great; spicier dishes for my husband and milder ones for me. We started off with appetizers, which consisted of samosas and crab cakes; they were delicious. For our entrees we ordered the mouth watering buttered chicken and the succulent lamb with sautéed spinach and spices. The Naan with cheese topped off the meal nicely, but left us with little room for dessert. Everything was very tasty, the service was great, and we have now become fans of Indian food. Many thanks to dévi for the great introduction to Indian food, we will definitely be back again soon.
