My daughter and I decided to try something new after her appointment at UAB. The man working FOH was helpful, outgoing and friendly, great service! We tried the Butter Chicken, Chicken Korma along with garlic Naan and onion Naan as well as the appetizer sampler. Generous portions, we had a lot to bring home but everything was AMAZING! We'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in Birmingham. Definitely give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Good food, great service, clean space, and overall pleasant atmosphere. It's a hole in the wall restaurant that seems kind of understaffed and not very busy, so we were served quickly. They also do pickup and third party orders which is nice. Only complaint I have is that it is in a busy part of town with a lot of EMS passing through so it can be loud at times. Not the owners fault at all of course.

Food was tasty but very little chicken came in the order. It was almost completely rice and sauce, unacceptable for nearly $20.
