If you're thinking of trying this place, I would advise you to reconsider. The biryani, which should be the star of the show, was a huge disappointment—its taste and aroma were nothing like the authentic biryani we're all familiar with. The samosa chaat portion was surprisingly small, and rather than a full samosa, they offered just half, which felt insufficient. The chicken was particularly concerning, as it had a raw, bloody taste suggesting it wasn't properly cleaned or marinated.
Another major letdown was the extra charges for onions, lime, and raita, which are typically complimentary at most biryani-serving restaurants. Charging $2.50 each for these essential sides felt like an unfair upsell. Overall, this experience left much to be desired in both quality and customer care. I would recommend exploring other options if you're craving authentic biryani and decent service.

We ordered the samosa chaat, palak paneer, garlic naan, and lamb biryani. Service was efficient, fast, and friendly. We came on vacation, not expecting such good quality Indian food but the taste was above expected - excellent! A must visit.

Amazingly good Indian flavors of each dish. And this is coming from an Indian. This is not your average Indian joint. The flavors and spice level were on point! Can’t wait to be back. One of the best meals we had on this island, hands down.

One of the best Indian food restaurants I’ve ever been to! Food was great and very flavorful! Garlic Dal Fry - Spicy - best dal fry I’ve ever had! Paneer Tikka Masala - Medium - absolutely amazing with naan and rice! Don’t hesitate, check this place out!

This restaurant serves naan from Costco!! What a ripoff!! That means the naan you have there is weeks old.

Superb Indian food you can find on the island! Chef Xavier prepares food that is so comforting and undoubtedly delicious. It was a nice surprise to stumble upon this place while at Poipu. Cant miss on this while visiting Kauai!

Great food, the only Indian spot on this side of the island - we loved the rogan Josh (super tender and flavorful), kadai paneer, shrimp vindaloo and paneer tikka masala! The owner is really friendly and gave great reccos too!

Quite expensive for a small restaurant with small portions not going to lie. Also wish you guys had some ice. On the positive note, it was pretty good and enjoyed it.
Good ambience and friendly staff. Food was not too great. Naan was reheated frozen bread from indian grocery stores and curries were manageable and didn’t taste fresh. Also the prices of curries were high for the taste.

The food was better than my expectations, we tried dal tadka and chana masala, both were close to authentic Indian food. The restaurant has a curry tree (kadi patta) which elevates the flavor, overall we enjoyed our food and would recommend this place. Slightly pricy given the location, the portion sizes were decent.
