Excellent Biryani! I always get veggie & my husband gets chicken. Portions are huge. Their mango lassi drinks are delicious. You can call ahead for takeout or dine in.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Santa Cruz! The yellow dal is great and the Manchurian cauliflower is spicy and tangy! I am sad to see that they are temporarily closed because I haven't found another place nearby that compares.

I had an awesome in this place. We enjoyed the nice atmosphere and the menu. The staff were very friendly. I’m content we ultimately managed to try this restaurant.

Everything at the Holiday Buffet was completely delicious ($20.95 per person, slightly more expensive than we planned, but I guess it was only for the holidays). It included a great variety of dishes: 3 meats (our beloved butter chicken and vindaloo lamb), 4 vegetarian dishes (including my favorites saag paneer and eggplant). Salad, berries, naan, chutneys, laita, and dessert as well (MMM Gulab Jamun)! The service was polite and exceptional. The interior of the restaurant is good and was warmly decorated for the holidays.

Nope! They got my takeout order wrong twice. The first time I was totally understanding, came back, they told me they'd remake everything. The second time, I received an item I didn't order, didn't receive an item in the order, and the two items in the first order that were correct was not remade and cold by the time I got home (and they weren't items that reheat well). I didn't go back and try again since one of the waiters was rude about it (the waitress was nice though). The flavoring, in general, was good.

Excellent food. Very good hospitality. Nice service
This is some of the blandest Indian food I've had in a while, despite asking for the food to be cooked medium spicy (which it wasn't). The shahi paneer was one of the worst/blandest Indian dishes I've in a long time.

Blandest Indian food I have had in my life, and I've lived in NYC and the Bay Area for more than 15 yrs. It was as if they forgot to add any spice whatsoever, even salt. We are also really disappointed that as soon as we placed our order the estimated time jumped from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. While our food arrived "on time", it was frustrating to have to wait 30 minutes longer than the time estimated when we started our order.

Like Chicken biryani here. COVID times .... patio dining is open.

Extraordinary food, wonderful service and delightful music. The forced outdoor dining experience felt more thoughtfully constructed than as an adjustment.

Best butter chicken I’ve had in the bay area. 11/10 for this dish alone. Rest of the dishes are also generally good, but butter chicken is the star here!!!
