When I first walked in I noticed the amazing atmosphere of the restaurant, the lighting was impeccable and the decor was quite interesting. I can also say these are the best prices for Indian dishes around the Oakland/Albany area, on top of that the portion sizes are larger than normal and the food was delicious. I was informed upon picking up my food that a rice pudding was provided to me completely on the house. 5 stars you will catch me driving from Oakland to here every week.

These guys are hospitable like no other, and I’m from Texas (where since being out here in California, I’ve begun to notice the same Southern Hospitality as common) these folks do it right! The food is also great

No salt in food, no flavor. Reason said - old people don't like salt. Even though we were very young.

I ordered mattar paneer and found it had way too much curry powder. The chicken vindaloo was pretty good but I asked for medium spicy and it was cooked mild.

Very disappointing experience. We visited since it was open late but when questioned about food, the reply was rude

Worst food poisoning I’ve ever had the curry was cold at the bottom like it had been thawed out. They’re open late, but that’s not always a good thing go carefully.

I ordered chicken korma and garlic naan for takeout. The total came out to be $17.xx which is the menu-appropriate price for both items. I expected the chicken korma to come with rice, but it did not come with rice. When I noticed this after I got home, I called the restaurant and was told that that it comes with naan or rice but not both, which doesn't make sense for my specific order considering that I was charged for the 2 items individually. So in this case I was overcharged. I asked for at least a partial refund on the phone, but not sure what will come of it. This is really disappointing because I only came here after reading some reviews saying there are large portions.

Outside of that, the in-person service is good. If the charge is corrected I will come back.

Long-time reliable spot. It's all good and the staff are lovely. Bring the fam to eat-in, or pick up dinner after a long shift. Fresh every time. No-meat diet? No problem; the veg are delicious.
Also, they have a whole wall of community awards and a commendation for promoting food security, and a little bit of outside seating still. This is neighborhood!
