"Catfish meal had the best fried catfish I've had in GR. They were large, thick filets, perfectly seasoned. The greens were tender, though a little bitter, and the mac-n-cheese wasn't my favorite, but I will definitely order again with different sides."

"An excellent deal! Practically enough for two people. Everything was warm and delicious. Lunch Box – Non Vegetarian (Mon-Fri 11.00am to 2.00pm) came with a side of raita, that was much appreciated to cool down the spice level along with the "salad".(Wasn't overly spicy, I'm just a wimp)The Vegetable Samosa ( 3 Pieces ) are large and yummy, flaky slightly chewy crust."
"This is the first time I have wanted any food from Grand Indian Cuisine, and I'm so glad I tried their food today!! Everything was delicious! Chicken Vindaloo is one of my go to Indian dishes, and theirs is tailor made for me! It is spicy, but you can still taste all of the wonderful flavors, so the spice doesn't overpower them. The chicken was perfection, tender and moist. The rice was perfect as well. I chose to add a side of garlic Naan and I'm glad I did because it is out of this world! Super soft and two large pieces make it a great serving size. This is the first time I have had Medu Vada , so I have nothing to compare it to, but it's divine. The fritters are fluffy and the coconut chutney is delightful and a great compliment to the spicy Vindaloo. I hope to visit them in person to try other dishes!"
