I had chicken tikka and lamb curry for lunch. The chicken was undercooked, so I informed the staff member, but he just said, “Okay, I’ll let them know inside the kitchen” and that was it. The lamb curry was just okay.

I absolutely would recommend this place . It took a while to get the food cause it was made just for us! So delicious and definitely worth it! I am so glad this place is close to home and easy to get to!

DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES - DO NOT GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT

I visited this place yesterday, 6/14/25 with my mother, and I really need to warn prospective patrons about my experience and how the servers (not sure if they’re also the owners) made me feel discriminated against based on ethnicity and sexual orientation. Disclosure: This is solely based on my experience and the interaction I had.
I am a Hispanic gay man. I was wearing an outfit that combined the colors pink and blue as I had just attended a baby shower. When we got there, the place was empty except for one table (no wonder why, with such terrible service). My mom and I walked in and the male server at the register indicated we could take a table. When he brought the menus I tried to be nice and talk to him, and not only did he said absolutely nothing back, but also gave me a dirty look. I was unsure as to why but let it pass. Then the female server (a big lady) came by to take our order. She asked something, which I understood was along the lines of “have they taken your order?”, and I responded “No, not yet” and proceeded to start ordering. Then she stopped me and said “Are you ready to order or not”, I replied yes. Turns out the first question she asked was if we were ready, but I couldn’t make up what she said, she had an incredibly heavy accent, which despite my efforts (and despite being a polyglot myself) I could barely understand. Then she went on ranting about me responding “not yet” and proceeding to order. I let that one pass too. I ordered biryani and she started lecturing me about spice, spice level and how the mild spice would be hot, like she did not want me to order at all. This was weird and frustrating as I have been to India and had nothing but beautiful experiences with the kind and amazing locals.
Finally, our food came, the male server brought it. I kept thanking him and again, mute, dirty look. My mom noticed and got really uncomfortable. To this moment I am still unsure if it was my outfit (clearly not a traditional color combination), my ethnicity or the fact my mom and I were speaking in Spanish to each other. At this point, the discrimination was very evident. Racism, homophobia or a combination of both.
We proceeded to eat because we were starving and my mom needed to eat due to a health condition. We spent approximately 45 minutes there, in which at no point either of them checked on us, asked if we needed anything or took our plates AT ALL. It is important to mention that while we were eating, other 3 tables were taken, and those people (not visibly Hispanic or LGBT+) were greeted with kindness, smiles, jokes and decent service.
I called the female server to ask for the check. She took what seemed like forever (probably 10
minutes) to bring it, when the restaurant wasn’t really busy. She finally brought her little machine for me to pay. As you may imagine I did not add a tip. Why would I tip for what is probably the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced? And she had the audacity to ask “No tipping?” to which I replied that of course not and expressed how dissatisfied and aggravated I was by the service received. Then she just replied with a very clinical tone “Well, sorry”. My mom and I walked out.
This was a horrible experience and I cannot help to feel horribly insulted and discriminated against. I am a paying customer, and spent a good amount at their business. Feeling like you have been discriminated against is the last thing one wants when trying to enjoy a meal.
Besides that, food was not even good, it lacked flavor and it was very dry.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING AT THIS PLACE, unless you want to be discriminated against, especially if you belong to the Hispanic or the LGBT+ community.
This is a disgrace to our country.

There I was just looking for something different to eat that day. I decided I wanted to eat something that has kick. Something that would blow my mind.

And I got what I want.

I got the lamb curry and it was 🔥.
I also got the stuffed naan and it did not disappoint.
The service and the atmosphere were peaceful and I was able to savor the spices and flavors I have been looking for.

Satisfied customer.

An explosion of flavors thanks to the use of aromatic ingredients. They respect the spiciness level, and the level ten in the curry is impressive. Recommended for lovers of international fine dining.

Generous and great service. Food is hot and fresh and good portions and good value, don’t overcharge like a lot of other Indian restaurants. The hostess gave me free lentil soup while I wait for my takeout, complimentary on the house. So generous!
