My husband and I have been going to Machan Indian restaurant for at least 3 or 4 years now and they are - by far - the most consistant Indian restaurant we frequent! And we've been to nearly all of them in the Eastern/Northeastern suburbs! The atmosphere isn't anything flash, but they're lovely people who dish up consistantly delicious meals!
