This is such a gem of Indian food take out! Seriously some of the best butter chicken I've ever had (and I'm kind of a butter chicken snob). I also highly recommend trying their stuffed naan, stuffed with chicken tikka if you’re down for a good time!

Horrible experience. They had chicken pieces in paneer tikka masala. I had told them that I am vegetarian. Will never go there again.

Excellent food and very friendly customer service! My go to is typically their Chana Masala (spicy). Their box deals are very reasonably priced as they also include rice and naan. I’ve been coming to this restaurant even before they moved. I have never once been disappointed.

2 item lunch special with veg vindaloo and butter chicken. So tasty! Got spicy, I will ask for medium spicy next time haha

Great food, have loved everything I got from there. All the standard dishes have been delicious, and the idli fries SLAP! Tamarind chutney seems more flavorful and spiced than the standard stuff. Definitely going to keep coming here!

Best Bhature I had in a long while… :) :) chole can be spicy, so order medium or less spicy accordingly… service is great and owner is responsive to any suggestions on food we ordered

best Indian Food ever!

’ve ordered takeout multiple times—and it’s consistently incredible. I’m obsessed.

The quality is unmatched.

The Chicken Tikka Kebabs are perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and their achar (Indian pickle) is hands-down the best I’ve ever had—vibrant, and deeply delicious.

Every order has been fresh, and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend!

I've had their 2 item box lunch with chana masala and aloo gobi twice here, and both times, it's been really good. Medium spice is just the right amount of heat for me. Definitely going to try their chicken options next time.

Bonus points for them serving ice water to customers who either eat in or wait for their to-go orders to cook.

We’ve been back 3 times now. Excellent food.

Really tasty and fresh food! And the spice levels are actually accurate which I so appreciate! Love everything we’ve tried so far (vindaloo, korma, tikka masala, dosa, chicken wings) with my current fave being the yellow daal.

The space is small..you’re practically in the kitchen as soon as you step in so don’t plan to dine in with a big group. I’ll keep ordering takeout!

I ordered takeout twice now. Everything was delicious and freshly made. I’ve tried the chilli paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, and Butter chicken with rice and plain naan. Everything was so flavourful. The naan is soft and fluffy. This will be a regular for me.

The idly sambar is exceptional

Ordered:
Karahi-Lamb (halal): Love the rich with a tomato-based gravy infused with aromatic flavor bomb. Feels like the flavor a little too strong that covers the lamb profile.

Saag-Paneer: Hands down best Saag Paneer in the bay area. Smooth yet slightly grainy from pureed spinach, Fresh and firm paneer, balanced seasoning without overpowering dairy taste.

Garlic Naan: Freshly baked in a tandoor, fluffy yet slightly crispy! brushed with butter with aromatic garlic and a touch of cilantro! Love it!!

Podi Masala Dosa [v, gf]. the stuff potato and the dosa was great, but the dosa was a little bit thick this time. Love tomato sauce and coconut chutney makes all the flavour comes together

Cant wait to come back try their:
Tandoori Chicken, Aloo Gabi, Vindaloo Lamb!!

Literally waited for 20+ mins after it said my order is ready to pick up.
