Careful, the quality of the food at this restaurant will spoil you! I've eaten Indian food from New York to Atlanta and it all comes up short. If I ever move from Columbia this will be the restaurant I miss!\r

I highly recommend the Chicken Curry with vegetable Pulow (tasty basmatti rice some peas and carrot bits). The curry is so good. It's completely addictive. You'll find it on the buffet every Friday night and you can order it any time. My other favorite is the Mysor Masala Dosa. Be sure to try some hot Naan (a pita like bread) with the curry. It's amazing.\r

Samosas are a tasty treat too, think spicy potato goodness in a crispy shell with a sweet dipping sauce. YUM! And the mango lassys are great after spice food.\r

About the service.... Yea, it can be slow, as with most smaller family places. If you're always in a hurry try the buffet (for lunch or friday night). After you know what you want you can always call it in and have it ready. Devi is awesome but so is Ramesh (her son). He's really friendly, and he takes amazing care of us.\r
I saw another reviewer had mentioned a cleanliness issue... I'm not sure how he came to that conclusion but I have more confidence in TOI than I do in any Corporate restaurant. These are people that care, they really do treat customers as family and they do an amazing job.\r

I can totally see how a first time visitor might feel a bit ""out of place"". It's more like going over to a friends house who happens to be an amazing cook, except you're in a restaurant. As soon as you get past the informal feel you will begin to cherish it. It's one of those largely unknown restaurants you'll be eager to show off to your friends. :)
