Wide variety of Asian foods. Can be spicy or mild. I had the Chow Mein. It is a bit different than traditional but quite good. The sauce is tomato based.

We dined in and the wait time was about 20ish minutes for dinner on a weekday. We ordered house special chicken - it was amazing. It’s something we don’t find in other restaurants so they nailed this special!! :) A must try! Other menu is also good, however not super memorable.

This restaurant is simply amazing. The butter chicken with garlic naan is my comfort meal and every time i’m in Claremont I basically only come here. Kash has been an absolutely wonderful server in all my visits and everybody in the restaurant has great vibes. Daddy Ji is my dad, 10/10

This review is loaded with complaints, but none of them would have constituted the desire to leave a bad review until the last complaint within this review. The final bullet point is simply so ridiculous I will never return and make sure no one else I know makes the same mistake as me.

• The hostess had attitude the entire time. I thought maybe that was just the way she related with the world and everyone has a different personality and I shouldn't take her short and cold temper personally.

• My wife's Tikka wings were pink inside, chewy, and slimy. We thought maybe they were undercooked and when we asked one of the employees, they said it was and that happens sometimes and took it back to the kitchen. Not a huge deal. Mistakes happen in a restaurant.

• My friend never got her food, we asked them about it and way said it's almost ready and seemed annoyed, later they came out and asked her what she ordered, which made it seem as though they forgot her food, as restaurants usually don't not bring out your food and then ask you what you ordered when they remembered your order and are making it.

• When my friend asked them to just cancel her order (as she didn't have much of an appetite after eating raw chicken and watching us finish our meals) they said that her order takes longer (which leaves me to question why they didn't tell us that one takes longer, why that one happens to take longer in the first place, or why they didn't postpone the rest of the food until that order was closer to being ready).

• Finally, as my friend was begging them not to bring her the food 1, because everyone else was done eating and she hadn't got her food and we had to leave soon & 2, there was fear of eating it because she had just eaten what seems to be raw chicken. As she kept telling them she didn't want it, they kept telling her they were almost done making it and she had to take it. If she didn't have time to eat it now, she'd have to take it to go. She kept reassuring them she just didn't want it anymore. They told her that the owner would question them why they took it off the check and so she had to take it. They then brought it out and HERE'S THE WEIRD PART: 2 grown men stood on each side of my 21 year old female friend and kept telling her she had to take a bite of the chicken. She kept saying she didn't want it and that we can still pay for it, just take it away. They kept harassing her to the point that they literally forced her to eat this chicken she was uncomfortable to eat and told them numerous times.

When I used to work at a restaurant, I would have never thought of surrounding a young female and force them to eat eggs after feeding them raw meat.

I am not sure what thought processes go on to possess 2 grown men to practically force feed a young female as she begs them to take it away, but it's clearly not one that I ever plan on being around again. I don't think anyone is truly evil, it's only ignorance. And that may be even more concerning, that grown adults can lack cognition to the point that they force someone to eat something they don't want to eat.

Most importantly I am disappointed in myself for letting it happen. I was so confused I had no idea what to do. Since you can't smack common sense into people, and it's too late to yell at them and leave the situation, all I really can do is warn others.

They ended up taking the two off the check. And yet, what we really wish they would have done is not harass a 21 year old girl and force her to eat food she didn't want.

* Leo was really nice, cool, and helpful though. 10/10 wonderful experience with him.

Ridiculous togo system and wait time

We went on a busy Friday night. There was a wait for our food but we forgot all about it the second it came out.

I’ve had a lot of Indian food in my lifetime and this place slaps.

Lamb curry: fire
Korma: fire
Garlic Naan: I wanted 4! waitress suggested 2…I should’ve gone with 4
The 65: good but I’d rather have the samosa instead
Mango lassi: smooth and balanced

I’ll definitely come back or order to go, just not during the dinner rush.
