Totally hit and miss. Butter chicken, for example, is amazing -- when it actually gets delivered. (Once ordered two butter chickens one night, but ended up with one butter chicken and one chickpea dish.) Tonight I ordered a lamb korma that was unlike any korma I've ever eaten -- and 70% bone. Yum yum. I've had it with this place.

This is more like a Cabbie joint rather than a sit down restaurant. The sad part is because of the pandemic they're not serving South Indian dishes. Some South Indian dishes in the dinner menu. Like Chettinad chicken etc. Stay away from the naan as its not that great. Takeout only for now.I should try the lassi and samosas next. The Baghara Baingan was decent.

So happy we tried this family owned business! It’s a small hole in the wall, but don’t let the look fool you. Take it from an Indian that this Indian food is authentic and delicious! We ordered Dal Makhani and Aloo Mattar (tested simple dishes as first time customers), both of which came with a side of rice. The aloo mattar has a sweet undertone to it, which I haven’t eaten in years. Will definitely be a returning customer!
