Don't go alone. Even the smallest dish will be too much!!! The chicken biryani was out of this world, the rifle was well seasoned and the chicken was tender and juicy. Presentation was great. Skip the deserts. But do try a samosa, they are light and delicious. Also.. the tables were nice and clean.

Best food ever! One of my first times trying a "hole in the wall", and i must say that this place is amazing! I had the naan and butter chicken, and it just melted in my mouth!

Please hire people to work at registers who don't have attitude, customer service or comprehension, PLEASE!! Dhal tadka, yellow dhal, dhal, are all dhal!!! Plus cut back on the heat, not everyone can tolerate this much heat in food. Shame, the dhal is so good!!!

Really good food been coming here for years and was friends with the owner in high school. Although for some reason the table had food particles which is gross and the food particles touching ur arms when u eat during the Covid. Lol for real just clean the tables better and a solid experience

Went there for Sat lunch. They gave you generous amount of Chicken Biryani and Goat biryani. Extra spicy chicken curry is salty and not that spicy. I like their Spanish and potatoes dish. Bean for Chana Masala is not soft enough for me. They only offer limited items (don't have full menu). Most of the dishes are extremely oily. I Like their plain and potato nans. Good to eat with curries. I wish they offer their Sunday brunch again.

Love this place for its quality food. The food is always consistent and fresh. Pretty busy place so the food is fast moving. No left overs from previous Day or shift gets served here. The quantity of food is good for the price. We always order chicken or goat biriyani, tandoori chicken, and chicken seekh kabob. The grill chicken is flavorful and juicy. The biriyani had plenty of meat and the rice is whole grain basmati with the flavor of the meat in it. They don't use lard as some restaurants use. The ingredients are good quality. Price is very reasonable. The staff at the counter are prompt, courteous, and quick in their service.

I write this review sitting waiting for an order of Naan. We ordered 30 minutes ago. They've given everyone around me their meals, including Naan. We only ordered Naan. All I've got is excuses and apologies. I've been to been told it would be 5 to 10 minutes. I've been told that repeatedly for the last 30 minutes. Go elsewhere. Or don't go during the dinner rush. Not worth the wait.

A friend and coworker recommended this place for dinner and thought to give it a try. The other Indian/Pakistani restaurant I used to frequent was Shalimar in Fremont but we didn't want to travel too far. This place has a private parking lot in the back. The entrance is also in the back. I was kind of lost when I entered the restaurant. No greeting or menu available in sight. Luckily a friend ordered from them before and saw a paper menu near the register. We decided to dine in and ordered a couple of things. They will give you a number and I wish they told us we can grab the utensils, water, sauces, and drinks ourselves. Because of covid, I don't know what restrictions there are especially if people all touch random things. We got the chicken tikka masala, garlic nan, nihari, the tandoori lamb chops, and mango lassi. The chicken tikka masala barely had any chicken which was a bummer. The garlic nan was perfect. The nihari was ok, but my husband loved it. The lamb chops were also good. Mango lassi was also ok, no complaint. There was only one person in the front and no one really cleaned the tables. If this was pre covid, we can just move the dishes but since there is covid, I rather not touch anything since there are no sanitary products around to clean. I might try other food but maybe just order togo instead.

I ordered few items through uber eats. Chana masala was only filled half way. I called the restaurant and talked to shiva, his reply was we filled the container 100%, maybe the driver took out some food and I can't do anything. You should seal the bag or staple it so this doesn't happen.

In love with their Lamb Biryani! They add burnt onions and it honestly is a game changer. I would order that as side just by itself!

Haven't been in a while, but had dinner recently and it was superior. Saag daal flavorful, even, and just spicy enough; paneer makhani was full of tomatoey goodness and plenty of cheese (but not too much); generous proportion of biryani with lots of juicy dark chicken. Guys, please please keep on doing what you are doing now. That's fabulous. A+.

NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL……The guy who took the order was sooooo rude and disrespectful. They need to take a customer service class. The food was worst then their customer service.
