Came for an early lunch and was the only dine-in customer, though several people picked up online orders. The restaurant is tucked in the corner of the plaza where Asiana Market is, with limited parking nearby.

Service was friendly. The paneer tikka masala was ok but $18 without rice!

It won’t be my first choice for a quick lunch

Everything tastes great except only thing that sucks is that they close so early, it says online they’re open until 8pm but that’s not true. They also don’t do take-out orders since 720 or so because they close the kitchen earlier. So don’t show up at 730 for a quick dine in either because you’ll feel rushed.

Best Indian in the area! Get the gobi Manchurian. You won’t be sorry.

Came here with the family. We got the Beef Biryani and the Chicken Tikka Masala, with a side of Naan. Everything was super delicious. You get to choose the level of spicy from 1-5, we got level 3 and it was just the perfect amount of spicy where you feel the heat but can continue to finish the whole dish. Will definitely be back!

Horrible! We ordered chicken biryani which was more like Chinese or tomato rice. It was like rice mixed with Campbell tomato soup.

The food was decent, but it lacked authentic Indian spices. While all the other ingredients were present, the essence of Indian flavor was missing. This place might appeal more to those who prefer milder tastes. Also, the restroom doodle—what exactly are they trying to convey about India? It felt a bit off.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. My friends and I decided to check out this Indian restaurant based on a recommendation, but it turned out to be a complete disaster from start to finish.

First off, the service was absolutely terrible. The young Asian guy serving us was completely uninterested and rude. It took forever to get anyone’s attention, and when we did, it was like we were a burden to him.

On top of that, there was some private party going on in the back, and the owners seemed more focused on their own get-together than on actually running the restaurant. The group was loud, obnoxious, and, to be honest, they didn’t seem to care at all about the other diners. There was this one large Indian woman , possibly related to the owner, going in and out of the kitchen, who was the worst of the bunch. She was practically throwing her weight around annd not least bothered about others. Yelling across the restaurant, and when they all stood up to say goodbye to their friend, they hovered over our table, cackling loudly, making us feel extremely uncomfortable.

Now, let’s talk about the food. Honestly, it was one of the worst meals I’ve had in a long time. We drove all the way from Page, excited to try some authentic Indian food, but it was just awful. The papdi chaat was a joke—basically plain, unseasoned boiled potatoes smashed on top of some papad with a dollop of yogurt. That’s it. No flavor, no spice, nothing. The naan basket kept tipping over because the naans were so big and the basket was so small (and the naan itself wasn’t even good). The chicken tikka was disgusting—cheap quality ingredients, bland, and poorly cooked.

I really don’t understand how anyone could actually enjoy this food, especially when it’s supposed to be Indian cuisine. It’s honestly shocking that this place is still open, with how bad everything was. The empty chairs and tables speak for themselves—no one in their right mind would keep coming back after a visit like this.

We won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Save yourself the disappointment and find somewhere else.

If you are looking for authentic Indian food, Avoid at all costs.

Saffron tea - nothing to do with saffron or Tea

Fire cracker Chicken and orange chicken - frozen Chicken nuggets with some veggies thrown in. Even paneer gravy was hard and

Same with most of the food ..

Naan was the saving grace. Garlic and Paneer Naan were soft and fresh.

Service was good .. place was small and cozy
