I'm not sure why this place isn't busier than it is? Maybe it's the location but this is a great Indian restaurant. There are several around Old Town, and I think this one is the most outstanding. But it's a lot of Indian restaurants have made the portions so small and have made rice extra. The portions here are excellent the flavors are rich as Indian food should be and they don't charge for extras like rice. Even the appetizer we got, fried onion in chickpea flour, was a large portion and easily shareable. A Lamb Vindaloo was a balance spiciness with very tender lamb. The Saag dish with peas was smooth and also delicious. Plenty of space for large parties, too.
I had a horrible experience. On a Friday night, I was planning on coming here with a large group, of about 12 people. We realized they were close to closing and decided to call as we would get there 30 minutes before closing. The person who answered said it would be no problem and told us to come. We drove over and arrived right on time however they refused to seat us. They claimed that they tried to call back but I didn't get any call back from them, then when the guy went to check he realized he was calling the wrong number back. They didn't even apologize. Absolutely horrible customer service. We went to another Indian Restaurant down the street.
Had Masala dosa and idly. Loved the dosa. Sambhar was great but chutneys stole the show. We ended up ordering and eating more than our apetite coz it was so good. Idlys were soft but could use a bit of salt in them.
Purina paneer Tikka is tasty. I wish it is served with some sauce on the side. Chole is too oily and not perfectly cooked. Butter naan has very little butter and slightly dry. Good quantity. Great value for money.
Hands down my absolute favorite Indian restaurant !Goat Biryani and gobhi Manchurian are my favorite , the food is full of flavors and my family love to dine here. Service is always great and have amazing ambiance .This place is definitely family favorite and I highly recommend to those who wants to eat authentic Indian food!
Ambience & Service is excellent but food is okay. South Indian menu is not recommended at all. Rest punjabi curries, Indo-chinese and Indian bread options were good. You need to find local street parking.
We ordered Hyderabad chicken biriyani and Schezwan Noodles. Biriyani was awsome.. I ordered medium spicy noodlss..but spice level was high.. but taste was awsome. So if you are Noodles lover better to order mild Schezwan Noodles..spice level of biriyani was perfect.
Loved the food.I ordered extra spicy biryani.Baby corn Manchuria was really cooked well super crunchy as expected.The waiters were very professional and accommodating.Tried some appetizers and desserts, went with an open mind so was really impressed with the food.
Such a great experience. I have been there for the dinner service last night. Music was great and i felt relax. Food was delicious. I will certainly come back. I highly recommended it. Great service.
Yummy food and good service.

I was very impressed with the variety of dishes on their menu. They have all of the traditional chicken, beef and lamb dishes along with many veggie choices, so everyone in your group will be able to find something they like. The service is good, and the large dining room can handle big parties. The prices are very reasonable as well. At Raymond and Union , in Old Town.
Came in for lunch earlier today. The food was delicious out of this world! Come and check it out for yourself. Promptly and friendly service, great atmosphere!!! This place is a must if you enjoy Indian food.
Food was yummy, ambience is great. Located close to public parking.
I don't know where these ratings are coming from. Food was very basic. Lack all the flavors that I used to love with Indian kitchen. Mango lassi was great but otherwise very disappointing. Shame. I love Indian food and would love to find good restaurant that actually do it right.
The service is beyond expectations and the food delicious ? I lobe the fact that the Chef came out to deliver us our main course.He had a beautiful smile and a respectfully attitude.A huge thank you to all the stuff Mainly the Cook .
