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
August 2024
First of all, service was amazing: the owner/chef and other staff were wonderful, super friendly, and you just couldn't have had any better service and attitude from them.

Atmosphere: It was a really hot day, so pretty humid inside but they had fans to compensate so they did what they could, aside from that the restaurant itself is wonderful and very calm.

Food: I am vegetarian so I can't speak for the meat options, but we ordered...
July 2024
Exceptional food and service. Their tandoori chicken is perfectly cooked, spiced and portioned and is always my "go-to" dish. I strongly suggest given it a try along with their nan and samosas. They also are one of the few Indian restaurants with authentic desserts made in-house that are also delicious.
