We started with the samosas, and wow – they were on another level! Hot and crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced filling inside, and that magical “time release” effect where the flavor hits you a few seconds after the first bite… OMG, pure heaven! 🥟✨

Next up, the Aloo tikis – so good I finished two in one go! 🥟🔥 And let me just say, the Tamarind sauce deserves an Oscar award 🎬🏆 – tangy, rich, and the perfect complement to every bite.

To end on a sweet note, we tried the Mango Lassi 🥭🥤 – creamy, refreshing, and absolutely hit it out of the park. Each dish was so authentic it reminded me of the dhabas back in Punjab! 🇮🇳💛

This was by far the worst dining experience we’ve ever had. Service was terrible, food had absolutely no flavor or spice. The tables around us still had plates on from previous diners, that should have been our first red flag. We ordered chicken tikka appetizer, samosa and veg pakora. With chicken tikka masala. The samosas were dripping with grease, the only good part about the meal was the veg pakoras.

The food was very good but the ambience and the service were terrible. It was hot inside, no music, and the light in the display case was blinking on and off, giving you a strobe light show during your dinner. The waitress had ZERO personality and didn't even say thank you after everything. Completely clueless. When we came in we were the only ones there. No one up front to greet you, and when we were greeted it seemed like she wanted to know what we were doing there. I would order to-go from this place but never eat inside again.

Very poor service, no customer service whatsoever. Waited for an hour to order some food through doordash the restaurant cancelled my order two times after waiting for over 30 minutes and wasted my time for nothing even after I called them.

Great Service and AMAZING food! Jaspal Uncle Ji offers great hospitality to all customers! Our family had a party of about 30 ppl and they made sure we were all satisfied and were serving us the entire time we were there. They also offer great catering services and are always on time with their fresh food. Make sure to check them out when you are in the Sacramento area!

Had chole bhatures, butter chicken and for starters we had paneer pakoras....all had authentic indian flavor and taste. I would visit the place again

Great food. Wait staff is a bit disorganized.

Food was ok. It's a curry place and they were out of rice and they never get our orders right

The service was great and they took care of us so well! If you can’t handle spice then you can ask for mild, and the food was just delicious. The only thing that felt off was the music wasn’t playing so it felt too quiet, but it ultimately didn’t matter

Just moved to the area and gave this a try for delivery.
Was very disappointed when our $75 meal did not come with rice.
I called to make sure there hadn’t been a mistake and was told the curry dishes do not come with rice. This was a first for us and really disappointing!
