yum!!!! The paneer butter masala and samosas were perfectly spicy (aka not really) and flavorful, the gulab jamun is a sweet lovers dream desert omg... We ordered online and it was ready fast and pick-up was so easy with their window. It's expensive, but the portions are worth it and so so so good!

Incredibly disappointing. Veggie korma was weirdly sweet, chicken tikka masala had very dry meat and tasted like straight tomato puree. Keema Samosa was hard and dry. Overall really disappointing. I expected more because of how busy their takeout window always is.
