    The place is really good, everything on the diverse menu is tasty, cocktails are strong and great, the restaurant is very clean well lit and not too noisy. Healthy options and good options for those with dietary restrictions. Good place for a date or even a family dinner. The hottest food on the menu isn’t that hot fyi if you’re trying to get spicy Indian food. No complaints otherwise. So far our favorite is the goat curry.

    First time eating at Tulsi despite living locally. The appetizers were the best part of our meal-beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Our main courses were good-- nothing outrageously stellar, but solid Indian food. We would go again if we have an Indian hankering and the service was friendly, atmosphere basic.

    On Sunday we drove down from the Midcoast because we wanted some delicious Indian food and choose this spot because of the favorable reviews. We ordered the samosas and they were astounding. Then we feasted Lamb Curry and Chicken Corma as the main dishes, simply stupendous! I doubt that we''d have been disappointed with anything they serve at this fine establishment. When the servce is great and the food is fabulous, you camnot go wrong at Tulsi Indian Restaurant. I am.looking forward to going back.

    Delicious and authentic!! Having been to India and having tried as many Indian restaurants as I can over the years, Tulsi is definitely up there with some of the best Indian eats I’ve experienced. We got the Bhindi Masala and Kadhi Paneer along with some garlic naan. Absolute flavor! Generous portion sizes means leftovers for dinner. Our waiter was very kind also. Definitely check out and support this place!! Hopefully one day they will bring back their buffet which I remember being just incredible years ago :)

    I brought my wife and her friend who were not looking forward to having Indian food because they never had a great experience with Indian cuisine before. For them and me. It was by far the best Indian food I’ve ever had and my wife and her friend were just amazed as well. the Owner RAJ came and brought his own suggestions on food all exceptional. The atmosphere so welcoming as well.

    Fantastic meal hosted by amazing friends at Tulsi Restaurant. Was a new experience for me. I’ve always enjoyed different cultural and ethnic foods but alway was reluctant to try Indian. Well I was wrong and I’ve missed out because this meal was fantastic. Everything I tried was perfectly cooked and bursting with complex flavors. Shrimp, Chicken, Lamb and even Goat. Meats were all tender. Nothing was over spiced nor too hot. The service was gracious and super friendly. Everyone got a huge kick out of India’s name. If you have ever considered giving Indian cuisine a try please try Tulsi. You can thank me later
