The atmosphere is romantic, but a bit crowded since it's in one of the skinny old buildings in Old Town. ”
- “
The restaurant is not the most romantic place, but suffices for a nice casual date. ”

This space has good food, but not the prettiest location. ”

Nice cozy atmosphere. ”

The saving grace is the relatively nice, dark ambiance with candles on each table and a very attentive young Indian girl (perhaps the daughter of the owner) who was concerned with our needs than the multiple waiters going around for nothing. ”

So I go to Mahan in Alhambra (the cooks are really from India there, the place romantic, and the flavors authentic), or to the one by my work, Star of India. ”
