“Classic chicken tikka masala, the spicy was spicy! I'd compare it to a 4/5 Thai spice level. The chicken was delicious and moist, curry was delicious, I did takeout, but the place looked clean and lots of tables were full of local/families.“

“Great atmosphere, great service, great food! 10/10“

“I know India has many different regions and flavors but for the masses here in the US hear me when I say this is one of the best Indian restaurants in Arizona if not the US. Fresh food pungent spices and cooked to order. There is something for everyone and the staff can help guide your selections. Give it a try.“

“Absolutely delicious. I had the Andhra curry with goat and hot seasoning. Perfect, tender goat with an excellent spice level. My friend got the chicken jalfrezi which was also delicious, along with garlic naan and samosa. Delicious, I went here a few years back the the food is just as good if not better now.“

“This is definitely a hidden gem—not fancy, but solid Indian food with lots of vegetarian options. It’s a simple order-at-the-counter spot, but you know it’s legit by how authentic everything feels. I had the butter paneer and paratha—fantastic, and even better as leftovers. Perfect for a quick lunch or takeout.“

“Love this place, My friend tried Turkish food first time. He was crazy about especially garlic saus“

“It’s an experience in itself... a trip once will make you longing for more 😊“

“Solid Vegan Indian Meal –
Is this the GREATEST Indian food I’ve ever had? No, but the best I've had was a home cooked meal by my ex boyfriend's mom lol— but I still enjoyed my meal very much...... and for $5? Absolutely worth it.
I got a generous portion of spiced rice with veggies, crispy fritters, soft roti, and a tangy chutney that ties it all together. It’s flavorful, satisfying, and honestly feels like a full meal.

Ignore the harsh reviews — this place is a cute little restaurant and gave me friendly service. For a surprise bag, they delivered way more than expected. Would definitely grab again when I’m in the area.“
