Jeffrey Yorker Review of Alston's Hallmark

Excellent! We Love this place. We have eaten here many times and have sampled most of their menu.
The first time we ate here, we were blown away. We had never had Indian food like this before. The flavors were (paradoxically) intense, subtle, and ultimately satisfying. We have had northern Indian food before and are not afraid of spicy (vindaloo, phaal). This is southern Indian food and it is not as heavy or overbearing. The flavors are intense, tangy, and delightful.
Our favorite dishes are: masala calamari, kozhi milagu saaru, mango habanero dosa, saag chicken, goat biryani, lamb pepper fry, madras fish curry. All their dishes are tangy, fragrant, and eye-wateringly flavorful.
Their lunch buffet is a good sampling of their offerings. The buffet is not as spicy as their dinners, but still delicious.
