"Driving back home from Hartford to the Boston area, my wife searched Google for a place to eat off I 84, and Flavors of Nawab was her excellent choice. The reviews were a little overwhelmingly positive, which left us a little suspicious: Did they hire an unscrupulous firm to make up reviews? Turns out, it's just that good.The food and service are top notch. Everything we ordered was a little different from other places, in the way that every family has their own recipes, their own take on classic dishes. But more importantly, everything was delicious.My wife ordered the mutton korma, and we shared the pani puri appetizer, palak paneer, and their home made mint lime drink, all wonderful. Some people might be a little hesitant about the thin sauce that comes with the pani puri: it smells a little sulfurous, but don't be discouraged. It tastes fantastic.The acid from the lime and the cooling from the mint helped with the spiciness, but even without that, the flavors would have kept me digging in. The entrées alone would have earned the 5 star rating, but it all worked so perfectly together.Dessert was something I had never tried: falooda with ice cream. The high quality but straightforward Ice cream with a red syrup was on top of a delicious pudding with, I think, noodles mixed in! Sounds weird to this American, but it was great, and made a nice pairing, different textures, different temperatures, different flavors...And if all this wasn't enough, as we were driving away, they chased us down... my wife had left her purse, and they sprinted across their parking lot to make sure we didn't drive off!We pass this way frequently, driving from the Boston area to points south and west, and I look forward to trying more of their menu.There is no aspect of this place that is anything other that fabulous.TL:DR Eat here. It's really good.Vegetarian options: They have an excellent assortment of vegetarian options (vegan, I'm not so sure about .Kid friendliness: They have a nice, boring kids menu French fries, chicken tenders, and the like to satisfy boring but picky kids' palates, while the parents can get something different and lovely. For the more adventurous kids, they also can adjust the spice levels, so you don't melt your children's faces off. :"

"An excellent restaurant that's unassuming from the outside. Four of us on a Saturday night with a 7:30 reservation. Cocktails were good and house made bread was great, served with garlic oil. First course was Deb's Meatballs as well as the house made mozzarella and tomatoes(special), that were said to be grown on site. Both were excellent. Meatballs were tender, but light, with a rustic tomato sauce that was complex but balanced. The tomato and mozz was beautifully presented, large rough chop on the tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, very fresh mozz, perfect consistency with just the right amount of balsamic, garnished with enough bitter greens to balance each bite. Entrees: Pan Seared Halibut, Balsamic Braised Short Rib. Halibut(my fav fish): perfectly composed, bright citrus, creamy richness, umami from the sucotash with a salty finish from the bacon. Fish was just slightly overcooked for me, but that may be a matter of preference. Short Rib: perfect, classic with a twist. Melt in your mouth, perfectly caramelized with just the right amount of acid from the balsamic, on a bed of veg and mash that were flawless. Other couple got the Shrimp Oreganata and Rigatoni Bolognese, which were said to both be icredibly delicious. Dessert: house made cannoli as well as the apple tart Ala mode (special). Cannoli was bad, a great attempt but a flop. The shell was excellent, light crisp. The filling was the downfall, the ricotta should've been drier and sweeter, it was overly wet and borderline salty, but garnished nicely with chopped pistachio(not the reason the filling was salty) and chocolate chips. The apple tart was excellent, flaky crust, the texture/flavor of the apple was perfect with a side car of j.foster vanilla ice cream, you can do no better. The waitress knew how to do her job well, but didn't engage beyond the bare minimum. Overall, this restaurant is well beyond par for the area. I would stack it up against any high end restaurant in the tri state area. I will be back, often."

"Update: I gave Craig's Kitchen another shot and I'm glad I did. The food was excellent, my order was not exactly what I ordered but I'm not sad about it everything tasted great. I got the fried chicken with collard greens. The chicken was perfect, the collards might have been a tough salty but if order them again. I ordered a side of Mac and cheese for my daughter and she said it was really good, we were both very happy Craig didn't put Tabasco sauce in it like some places do. She also ordered rice and gravy, what arrived was yams. The yams are so good, not sad about the mix-up. I did order chicken wings, I didn't receive them but I'm pretty sure I was given 2 extra pieces of chicken in their place. I would be shocked if a small plate came with 4 pieces of chicken, I. Expected 2. It worked out well I was able to share it. I will be a frequent guest. _______________________________________ We went a few months back. The corn bread was good, the jerk chicken was ok. The chicken wings were reheated not fresh, dried out and not great. They were also out of quite a few things. The staff was very nice."

"Honestly, one of the best sushi places I went to, and they even have cute little figures drawn in sauce on your plate it is so enchanting. Prices are very affordable I got so much for $80. I took most home, but the waitress I had was very attentive and friendly. In any case, this place would recommend if you are a sushi lover and want to eat somewhere affordable and delicious."

"Good service. I had ordered easter sunday dessert and rolls. The rolls were on point and just amazing. We also have ordered the flourless chocolate cake. Which my sister had. She enjoyed it and said it was super rich. I had peach crumb pie. So I can't say it was the best or favorite peach pie I have tasted. The crumb on top was very soggy. And peach filling tasted too sweet and had inconsistent taste. My brother-in-law ordered the apple pie but he didn't eat it while I was there so I'm not sure what his opinion is on it."
