Once housed in a tiny Beaverdale location, India Star has moved to a larger space on Douglas Avenue. A lunch buffet gives a taste of North Indian specialties. Dinner entrees (most cost less than $10) offer more choices, from crisp vegetable samosas to chicken tikka baked in a clay oven and creamy curries made with intriguing spice combinations.
