    Spice -Symphony was convenient which is why we gave it a go but the food and the service are why we will come back! Outstanding tandoori lamb and samosa and chicken masala. Why am I trying to recall every dish? Everything was super. I wasn’t wild about our four top which was quite literally in the middle of the restaurant but, the service to our table made up for the geography of our table. This place is a KEEPER!

    The food was very good but my wife should have ordered the lettuce wraps mild since they came out too spicy for her.
