We stopped by Morby Dick around 7:30 in the evening. The place wasn’t crowded inside, but you could tell they were busy with nonstop pickup orders. It was our first time there, and while we were checking the menu, Mike noticed we were a bit unsure and came right over. He introduced himself and kindly explained all the food options in detail. While waiting, we were served warm bread with three sauces , a creamy yogurt cucumber sauce, a spicy green chutney, and another flavorful sauce. Everything tasted fresh, and you can even ask for more if you’d like extra! When our food arrived, we were surprised by the huge portions and how delicious everything was , hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Mike seemed to really know the menu by heart (maybe he’s the owner 🤔)and he made us feel very welcome. The restaurant is spotless, the staff are polite, and the atmosphere is pleasant. We’re so glad we chose this place for our stop and will definitely be coming back again!
