Very disappointed with this place. Chicken tikka Masala literally tasted like tomato bisque soup. Hell, I've probably had better tomato bisque elsewhere. Not to mention that the chicken is SO dry and flavorless that it was hard to swallow. Lost my appetite mid way through my meal. Yeah it's cheaper than other Indian places, but if you're looking for cheap then I suggest getting the frozen tikka masala from Trader Joe's which is good every time.

Ordered the tomato bisque here... oh I meant the chicken tikka masala! It's that bad here that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. But hey they throw in some of the driest cooked chicken with absolutely no seasoning and call it chicken tikka masala. Please if you're a new customer, read the reviews. That was my mistake when coming here, because had I read them it would've saved me from disappointment. To top it off, the service is awful here. You have to grab all your plates, utensils, water, and the ambience inside is depressing. There's no music playing and all you can hear is the sound of the refrigerators generator try to breathe life into this place.

Delicious and the prices are pre-pandemic. We had our dog with us so the outdoor seating was appreciated. Self-serve table setting but wow what a good value. We'll be back with more people next time.

I just ordered a goat biriyani and it was absolutely amazing. I grew up eating this, and I can say this food is absolutely delicious. The rice was filled to the top! And plenty of meat, I truly enjoyed it.

the worst Indian food I've ever had. The onion nan had thick coating of chopped onion, the dal was salty and just bad, same for things we had. Never again for this loser place.

I used to like the lamb curry but when I got my food yesterday, it tastes totally different. They used sauce from some other dish and just put lamb meat in it and heat it up. You no longer toast the stew of the slow cooked meat.I won’t be coming back any time soon. I am going to agreed on some of the negative comments about this place. The cost-cutting measures is going to hurt their business.

I've been here dozens of times over the years, and I still love their food like it's my first time. I ordered the lamb biryani, and it was so delicious and enough to share between two, maybe three people. It's somewhat spicy and full of lamb chunks. My other favorite is the lamb naan it's huge enough to share and so delicious. I come here for the great customer service and fresh food that keeps me returning.

I love Pakistani / Indian food , I’m sorry but this by far the worse Chicken Tikka Masala and Biryani I ever had. Maybe the chef had a bad they . Chicken Tikka Masala taste like it’s missing a lot of ingredients and the portion is small for the price . Chicken Biryani is soggy and barely have that Biryani taste

Consistently good recipe dropped in quality a few months ago, but is up to expectations again. I usually only get a simple few dishes. They were tasty as usual again the last two times I have been there in the recent couple of months.

One of my favorite places to eat. I suggest the chicken Tika masala,, side of rice and some NaanParking: There are usually parking spots on the streets in front of the different stores and quite a but of neighborhood parking which is pretty safe.
