Reviews
Very tasty and reasonably priced. We ate family style and shared entrees which I would definitely recommend. Our waiter was friendly and when we all ordered Indian lagers, he brought 6 different types and offered recommendations and descriptions of each one. I also enjoyed the Bollywood music videos playing silently on the TV. Great contribution to the ambience.
Food was amazing like always service was amazing the people there are so kind and polite they took care of me very good food taste so so delicious definitely coming back again for more
After hearing from friends about this place for months, we can confirm this is one of the best Indian food places around. The saag paneer was delicious. Perfectly cooked with a beautiful and warm blend of spices. The paneer in it was just as tasty. Meanwhile, my partner was so surprised by how much spice was packed into the biriyani. The naan was nice and fluffy though I'd always like more garlic which is the only thing holding this back from being a perfect experience. We also chatted with our server about cricket which was playing. So we'll have to keep coming back in person :)
This place is such a gem. I've been here twice now and both times the service and food were fantastic. The food is super flavorful, served fresh, and comes out to you quickly. The servers I had were incredibly friendly and attentive. The ambiance is nice, it's a small restaurant so it's not super noisy or hectic. They usually have some sort of video playing softly in the background on a large TV, one time it was an Indian musical and another time it was an ASMR video of a guy preparing food on a frozen lake. If you're looking for a quiet, local, hole-in-the-wall gem of a restaurant to eat some incredible food, this is the place to try. We'll be back here quite a bit.
Phenomenal chicken korma curry (5/5 stars), great garlic naan (5/5 stars), good kofta (4/5 stars), good pakora (4/5 stars), and another good curry (4/5 stars). Unfortunately the mango custard was a 1/5 stars for me. We split it four ways, and none of us had more than two bites of it. I'd describe it as puréed pumpkin: the texture varied from dry to wet, stringy to smooth, and overall was nothing like what I expected (a dairy/forward or ice cream or egg-y dessert).
