Great ambience! I’ve only tried two dishes so far — the Chicken 65 and Goat Curry — and both were really good. The Goat Curry especially stood out, with lots of tender meat, definitely a 10/10! The naans were freshly made, and the servers were nice and accommodating. I wish I could’ve tried more dishes this time, but I’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

Might be my favorite restaurant in the area, love this place! Butter chicken is 10/10, full of flavor and quality ingredients. Onion kulcha is delicious as well! Generous portion sizes, friendly service and plenty to choose from on the menu!
October 2025
The restaurant is clean and welcoming. I did run into a small issue with my order—the cheese garlic naan was missing the cheese, which is my favorite part 😭. I ordered the lamb korma; the lamb itself was tender, but I’ve had better korma elsewhere. I was also a little disappointed that the samosas didn’t come with chutney, which I think really makes the dish. That said, the veggie samosas were tasty, and the guy at the register was very kind and patient.
