I had the chicken Tika Masala Burrito, it is one of the best meals I’ve had in the Bay. Don’t sleep on this place, if you don’t like it then you are a hater. I’d fly all the way back to California from Chicago just to have that burrito again.

There were four cubes of chicken in the Marsala. I added shredded chicken from the store. The lam skewer was bone and fat. Flavor was there but only a bite or two of meat.

i ordered the coconut chicken curry for dinner one the other evening and became very sick for two days. maybe it was a one off thing but it was awful to pay $20 for dinner + tip and to end up getting sick.

Vegetarian options: Food is disgusting and way overpriced. Quality is among the worst I ever had. To bad college kids eat here not knowing anything about food and think it's delicious.
The absolute worst Indian food i ever had.

Too expensive for the food quality and service. It is run like a fast food joint but took 25mts to get my takeout. Dal Makhani was taken from the freezer and heated and packed. Packed hot in a plastic container. Garlic naan was so under cooked. Not cooked the traditional way or close to it. it was so soft and chewy. waste if time and money. Bad location too.
Responding to the owner response:
Your excuse is so lame. Just because you think I'm Indian you expect me to accept the mediocre service and quality you provide. The information I provided was my experience. That is for other customers not for you. Instead of trying to insult an honest review try to make your customer experience better. No Indian restaurant I've been in asks me if I want my naan well cooked. I don't know what you are trying to run there but if that was a choice it should be informed ahead. I was served undercooked naan. And the 25mts wait was what I experienced, no one is making it up. It's information for other customers so they can decide if it is worth visiting the place. Other places around there had faster service, and yes the establishment is like a fast food joint to me. It is not the first time for me. Definitely not worth my time and money for such bad service and mediocre food.

Extraordinary. Food and price outweight everything. Maybe not the best place to sit in. But for 17 bucks you get a protein entre, a vegetarian entree, rice and naan. They were extraordinary! The best I tried so far in the bay area.

Best adrak waali chai and parathas. They make all their food fresh and the service is very nice.

Thoroughly enjoyed their gobhi ka paratha and saag paneer. We were on a hike before the visit. The paratha especially was delicious, fulfilling and healthy.

The food really wasn’t that good. If you have any gauge for like how food tastes and what’s good vs not, don’t go here. The food was bad. Not worth it. Just go to top dog across the street

Great spot! I got the chicken tikka, probably the best tikka I've ever had. It was both really creamy and really well spiced, which I find to be pretty rare. The chicken was tender. Main thing I didn't like was just that everything was disposable containers/silverware, but I get it. Really short wait, good food, for a good price.

The tikka masala was second to none and the garlic naan bread was to die for. Will definitely be eating here again!
