Not authentic Indian. Just really bland crap
Food: 2
I went here with a friend for a quick lunch. I really appreciated the ability to order a kid meal, even though I am an adult. I neither want nor need the adult-sized portions. It is so nice not to have to pay for them, and then waste or lug them around with you. I had the kid paneer with tikka masala. I added lettuce and tomato on a whim (I can't imagine real Indian food ever presenting the way I requested it, but it was nice to have the extra veggies at no extra cost) and the mango tango chutney. I had hoped for mint, but it wasn't offered. However, my friend ordered samosas, which came with mint chutney. I am typically not a big fan of samosas, because I don't love to have potatoes in my ethnic food. However, my friend was too full to eat it, and I didn't want to waste it. It was DELICIOUS. Super spicy, and hands down, the best samosas I've ever had. They were big, fresh, and exactly the right amount of fried. The naan was not the best, but it was a good portion size. We easily shared one. I also wouldn't mind it if they offered a small naan in place of the rice. I took biryani rice, which was fine, but I'd have preferred naan in its stead and always appreciate the sub. I regret not trying the mango lassi, which was very reasonably priced at $4.99.
Side note: Lassis are listed on the menu as "lassi's". Also, the menu read "kulfi's". That apostrophe constantly popping up all over where it does not belong makes me absolutely insane. It's just a plural! No apostrophe belongs here! This is not an ESL mistake. I see it everywhere.

One of the worse customer service i got from them. They scam on foods menu. I ordered the full Chicken Tandoori, but i got 4 legs of chicken instead of full chicken. When i asked about the why there isn't the full chicken which i ordered $27.54. They were not ignoring me. I asked for manager or shift manager. She wasn't on duty. Anjili (Worst Employee) she said come on Tuesday or Wednesday to see the manager. They also don't care the food cross contamination. They don't use sanitizer towel to clean kitchen table and food serving area. Instead they were keep use dirty napkins. Which is serious food hazards. NEED TO REPORT FOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT.

Avoid this place if you’re looking for authentic Indian food. Even the dishes labeled as Indian don’t suit an Indian palate. The restaurant is poorly maintained—we encountered dirty tables and floors upon arrival. There seemed to be only two staff members working, both behind the counter. It’s a self-service setup where you place your order, and they call your name when it’s ready. The food was below average and overpriced; we spent over $50 for just two dishes which were not tasty and were sweet.

YUCK. Disgraceful. Not even should be called biryani, it’s straight up pulao💀 literally just has chicken, peas, and corn in it. Don’t come here!

Brought the kids bowl for my kid and he liked it
Chicken biryani is mid. The rice is good, but they unnecessarily add vegetables and crackers to it. The chicken is not tasty.

The naan pizza was very soggy and the crust was very thin. Taste was below average. Seating area was very dusty and no good vibe. Also overly prized

Well I didn’t have a good time after having their Lamb biryani (mild). The hotness was mild as expected but too many aromatic spices were present. It was not exactly biryani but I’d say pulao and the meat anyway could have been more cooked. Raita was good.

The food was terrible. This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a food review. I ordered a chicken dosa, the meat was old, very difficult to bite, possibly reheated, and tasted disgusting. I could not eat the food and have been left with an upset stomach. I will never eat here again and would avoid at all costs.
