"We used to frequent Arka when it had just opened. Just like most Indian restaurants, their quality has gone down. They seem like just don't care. Starts from Menu. It looks like stapled copy of some old bad photocopies. Drinks lacked character. Appetizers were alright. Weekend special Dum Biryani was actually pulao. They only had three items on a dessert menu. We ordered a lot, but didn't like most of it and didn't even bother to pack it home."

"The food was quite good, but the prices were a bit high. Great variety on the menu. It was hard to decide from so many choices. I actually came for the Belgian beer. Belgian draft beer was $8; their web site says $7."

"My friend and I enjoyed the lunch buffet. I found the Indian food a little spicier than other Indian restaurants. Service was good and well-timed. We ordered a mango lassi which always complements the spiciness of the dishes. Nan was served at the table. I would go back at a "drop of a hat"."
