Food is very bland. Chick peas were hard and servings were small.

My kids love the Butter chicken, but they were very disappointed and they said that it was not worth to eat over there. I ordered for 2 meals with Butter chicken and it costed $15.99 each. Naans were small and readymade. there was no option to choose only butter chicken, you must have to choose 2 other vegetables. what if my kids dont like to eat any vegetable. I asked that what will be price if I just choose Chanay gravy. He said that it will be same, even if you order chicken Butter Chicken or Chicken Tikka Masala or not.. not fair. I ordered separate meal for all of us after 1 hour, as we were still hungry , awww. not happy.

When I entered the restaurant, it didn’t look like much. It certainly didn’t look the same as the photos I’ve seen online.

There was only one person working when I arrived and the customer service was not that great. He wasn’t rude but he wasn’t polite and welcoming either. Didn’t smile, I informed him it was my first time visiting the restaurant and he pointed to the menu, which was fine but he didn’t inform me of any well-known/best selections. However, there wasn’t much to pick from (rice, butter chicken, cheese spinach, bread, and chickpeas) and that’s exactly what I ordered, and a premade mango smoothie.

There was way more rice than there was chicken. I counted about 5-6 pieces of chicken which I broke into pieces so that I could have more with all the rice he gave me. The chickpeas were too hard for me personally and didn’t really have any flavor. The chicken was delicious. I didn’t taste any cheese in the spinach, the bread was great despite some burnt parts. Honestly, the best part was the mango smoothie. I should’ve got two because it was gone by the time I arrived home!! It’s more like a smooth, sweet, creamy mango dessert rather than a fruit smoothie with ice but it’s delicious!! I would definitely order it again if my sweet tooth was craving something sweet!!

Probably the worst Indian food I’ve ever had. I think they got some white guy in the kitchen cooking. Lacked flavor and everything was watery vs having a gravy texture.

Terrible food, ordered platter. It came with butter chicken that has day old tandoori chicken pieces in some tomato sauce nothing like what you get in Indian restaurants, even an
Amateur Chef can do better. It came with two sides , one palak paneer that was just frozen spinach boiled with paneer and two a potato peas curry, the naan wasn’t cooked , overall worried about food safety

Delish! A friend and I had a late dinner her and it definitely hit the spot. She had the butter chicken, and I had the tiki marsala... both spot on, just the right amount of spice. We had chickpeas and potatoes as our side. Definitely a spot to hit if you are in the neighborhood of Union Station.

We order a standard tray. It was $16.50 for a choice of tiki masala or butter chicken or half and half. It came with two sides, I choose chickpeas and spinach. The chickpeas were hard. The butter chicken and masala sauce was terrible and just tasted like tomato sauce. The rice tasted old. The naan was nothing special, even Safeway was better. The portion was small for $16. I weight 200 lbs and am 510, i wasn’t even close to being full. I came here at 6 pm so I guess I get what I pay for because the food felt old. The upstairs was very very warm and the other side had mosquitoes around the whole area you couldn’t even site out there. It might be good to go, but I would recommend any other Indian place before this.

I almost never write negative reviews, but I am in this case. I used to order from this location often over the last two years for dinner. Unfortunately, the quality has gone down significantly the past few months. The last two times I ordered from here, the chana masala (chickpeas) were firm and hardly edible. The side of yogurt dip was sour, smelled rotten, and was chunky. The chicken dishes now lack flavor, and the food no longer tastes fresh.

I won't be dining here anymore and will be finding a new spot for fast casual Indian food.

This was the worse curry I’ve ever had in my life. It was flavorless. The rice was old and crunchy. The naan was old and hard to chew. The sides look horrible so I asked for just the butter chicken and rice only. The staff asked if I want more rice instead. I said no thank you, only a small portion of rice. He then proceeded to fill up 3 sections of the container with rice. I had to ask him to remove it. The only decent thing was the pre-made mango lassi. Frozen Indian meals from any grocery store are way better than this.

Correct ! Not like real Indian food. The Nan not really good. No Indian tea or gulab jamun. More like a fast food restaurant.

Vegetarian options: Few varieties; spinach and chickpeas.

Every Friday for over a year I used to buy from here and the food was delicious. They have changed the recipe because it doesn’t taste good at all anymore. Small portions, the chickpeas don’t have any flavor, one tiny cube of cheese in the spinach and the chicken tastes like ketchup. I tried to give it another chance last night but it was bad.

What a shame because this place was the best Indian restaurant. Don’t waste your money!!
