If you enjoy Indian food, you must try this place. They offer different spice levels and were happy to answer all of my questions.

Chicken tikka masala is exceptional. They have seating but it is more of a take out place.

We got a sampling of several dishes and sides to try at home. It was very good. The Chicken Tikka Masala had a rich and creamy texture. The portions were generous
Got chat, biriyani (goat & chicken), lassi, chai. All very good. One biryani could be shared if not too hungry. Good level of spice. This is inside the store, with limited seating. Service is pretty slow and all to be picked up at counter. Might be better as take out. The seating area is not much to talk about, but the food is good.

Excellent food, will certainly return. Spicy for sure, so be conservative when ordering. Very pleasant staff. There is a small dine-in area, so it’s more of a to-go place. Didn’t have time to check out the market, but looked like an exceptionally clean, well-stocked place.

The food is so fresh and delicious! The dining area is clean. We enjoyed looking around the grocery store while our food was prepared. We LOVED the fresh butter garlic naan, palak paneer, and chicken tikka masala. This was the first time our toddler ate Indian food and she also loved every bite. We will definitely be back!

I have been looking for Indian food that tasted the same way it did when I was first introduced to it in college and I finally found it. Their butter chicken took my tastebuds back about 14 years and I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be back.
For anyone else curious, I’m not sure what their hours are, but I’m assuming they’re similar to the grocery store and they do have a facebook page. If you want to call ahead to place an order, the number is the same as what is listed for the India Spices grocery store. I did not know that I could call ahead and ended up placing my order in person, but even so, I don’t think I waited more than 15 minutes.

Didn’t know this place was right around the corner and I’m SO happy it is!
Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, and Sambar = top notch. The Masala Chai is as close as I’ve had to the chai’s from the chaiwala’s in India. My son really enjoyed the butter chicken. Spice levels were accurate and exactly what they should be. Don’t expect a fancy dining experience… It’s not intended to be. It’s a space to eat in the grocery store and that’s what adds to the experience for me. The customer service was also friendly, which is always appreciated. Finally, BIG plus for actually playing Indian music in the store! Can’t wait until next time! 🇮🇳

This place is inside the Indian Spice grocery store. While they have some tables, it feels more like a takeout focused place. I got a bone-in chicken biryani. They offer spice levels and I chose medium. Which honestly, was a bit hot for me. It was very good and a generous serving.

Food is absolutely delicious but the butter chicken is soooo spicy! They did not tell you it’s spicy, and I can hardly eat it. The butter chicken is 17$ and it doesn’t even come with rice! I’m shocked. That’s very expensive. Spent 38$ on butter chicken, two samosas and two pieces of naan. Soooo expensive.
They recently opened the Chai Samosa restaurant inside the grocery store so I tried some boondas (a South Indian appetizer) and they were a little undercooked. The chutney was also a little runny. I saw some people eating dosa (South Indian breakfast item), which is similar to a crepe but savory so I'll need to be back to try this! They also seem to have some desserts and drinks.
