The food was so good, I had my Big Sister with me for the fisrt time as this is my second visit to Nima restaurant. Just like the first time it didnt disappoint. My sister was in awe of the blend of spices and the moderation of hot to mild combo. She was giving them compliments throughout the experience. Thank you again for the great hospitality.
