Heartfelt thanks to the restaurant owner and Jot!

Today I contacted this restaurant all the way from India to place an order for my friend in Atwater, USA. A person named Jot answered my call, and when I told her that I wanted to surprise my friend on his birthday, as he might visit to buy Kolkata Dum Biryani, she immediately understood my request and even spoke to the owner about how I could make the payment.

She was so friendly, cheerful, and kind throughout the conversation. What touched me the most was that, even after I insisted on paying, they refused to take the payment and instead gifted the food parcel to my friend on my behalf!

Such genuinely good-hearted people and wonderful service are so rare to find. I’ve never visited this restaurant personally, but I’ve heard from my friend that their Indian dishes are absolutely delicious.

Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtful gesture...it truly made our day!“

“I've been here a few times now and am happy to review. The reason for my 4 star rating: drastic difference in food quality if you're ordering for pick up or sitting down. Sitting down, the food and service are 10/10 highly recommend. For pick up, I'm not sure why things are different but the food drops to about a 6/10. I've done pickup twice and both times it was the same issue where most items were dry or over cooked. I will say the tandoori chicken didn't have that problem and was an 11/10 when I picked up.

So, I recommend this place but primarily for sit down service.“

“Somehow I've worked in Atwater for nearly 10 years, and just now found out about the absolute gem! I tried the butter chicken, the dahl makhni, samosas, and garlic naan bread. I knew i was in for an amazing experience the instant I walked through the door and breathed in the glorious smell of their wonderful cooking, and was greeted with a smile by the a very kind gentleman.
I am not exaggerating when I say their food absolutely rocked my world! It was SO delicious! It was so good, I lost my usual self control, and ate until I was absolutely stuffed, and I still have enough leftovers for my lunch tomorrow, because they are very generous with their portions for a very reasonable price. Everything was cooked to complete perfection, and seasoned wonderfully. I will absolutely be a repeat customer going forward, and I definitely reccomend them to anybody and everybody.“
