fornia and probably the world
because of Tandoori Nites. It’s an
Indian cuisine restaurant where
their entrées satisfies the palettes
of those who love it when food
dances in their mouths, and where
a taste of India is what they’ll ex-

Jassi and Simi Singh have been
creating and serving delicious
Indian cuisine, and their family-
run business practices follow the

skinless meat with no fat, and

enhancers,” said Simi Singh, who

while her husband runs the back
of the house as chef.

tandoori oven – a large open-top
clay oven, typically found in the
