I won't lie. I had a buy-one-get-one-free coupon. Viceroy is across the street from Sabri Nehari. It's tough not to go to Sabri Nehari. Viceroy actually has two parts, a takeout buffet side and a sit down, white tablecloth dining room. It was a good thing that we had the coupon too. The prices start at $8.95 an entree for the vegeterian dishes all the way to $17.95 for specialties.
If you've read more than a couple of the Indian restaurant posts you won't be surprised that we ordered chicken tikka masala. My wife uses it as a measuring stick the same way she orders panang chicken at Thai places. In addition to the tikka we got an order of Rogan Josh. The surprise is that my wife ate all the Rogan Josh and took home the tikka. I was shocked. The tikka was really good on top of it all. The chicken had a distinct tandoori flavor which I thought added lots to a dish that I've always liked.
In addition to the entrees we got a cold spicy puffed rice appetizer, Behl Puri. Loaded with chutney, potatoes and hot peppers. It was unusual and a really good alternative to fried pakoras or samosas. I also should mention that this may have been my first try of Golden Eagle beer. Where the more popular Kingfisher beer is brewed in the States (I believe) Eagle is not. It's hoppier than fisher but when you're eating Indian food any beer is your friend. It's kind of odd- I also like sparkling wine or beer with sushi. Anyway.
A comparison to Sabri is sort of moot since dishes are distinctly different. However Tiffen, down the street (that's a joke- everything's down the street), is a more apt comparison. I would say if you like Tiffen try Viceroy. If you like Viceroy try Tiffen and if you like both try Sabri.

Based on your recommendation, we went to Viceroy of India. All eight of us enjoyed the dinner--the variety of flavors, the accommodations for those who prefer mild foods, and the good service. We'll probably try Sabri Nehari next time.

Basically my life is just hard work, I can say that I live a seventy-year-old, is not that comfortable life than a month, like pushing a stone up the mountain, the stone kept rolling down and Tuishang Qu.
