Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and glass of wine. Food was average, wine small pour. Server was on phone whole time. Bar stools cheap and uncomfortable. Won't be back.

My husband and i were just there celebrating our 10th year anniversary. We absolutely loved everything. We started with the Dahi Puri and the Masala Fries. We also ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, the Dhaba Chicken and the Rice plate Chicken Biryani. Everything was so well seasoned and soooo much flavor and juicy to the max. Our 10month old and our 2 year old also enjoyed the delicious food. But what truly blow us away was the amazing service. They helped us entertain our girls so my husband and i could finish our food. They were so polite and such an amazing environment. We will definitely be back and we will be recommending to everyone. Thank you!!!

We ordered about half the menu and everything was delicious! We were the only people in the restaurant at the time so our server was very attentive. There's a huge bar, gaming/gambling and an area to ay darts.

We ordered two chaat and Byrani. This used to be a grocery store that also sold prepared food and it was awesome. But now, the food is not that great. The Byrani had fried onions on top but it made everything taste like burned rice. Was really hoping this place was great since it’s so close.

This place use to sell food within a grocery store. We just returned and has been redone as a really nice restaurant. Great service and the food was so good! Best butter chicken and garlic naan I have had in awhile!

Ordered the chicken tikka masala and buttered chicken with naan and it was all really good. We were very satisfied! We'll be back!

Ordered chicken tikka masala to go and it has 0 flavor in it. I think they forgot to use salt. There was attempt of other spice flavors but overall I feel like I was eating plain steamed chicken. Rice was the only good part but I have eaten authentic Indian food before and their rice don’t have any flavor either. (If you’re looking for plain white rice, this is the place you should come)

My girlfriend and I went here for lunch today. It was amazing. We tried two different appetizers. Delish.Then I had one of the lamb dishes and she had a chicken dish. We shared and everything was amazing. Great flavors and a little bit of heat but great. It's was like an explosion of flavors in your mouth.Also garlic Nan was good. Recommend this place for sure.

Normally I do not write reviews, but in the interest of others, I put this together, since this takes the cake on bad food! We ordered tarka dhal, chilli chicken, chana saag and lamb vindaloo - a good $95 bill. The tarka dhal was extremely salty - un-edible, chana saag - chana was undercooked and sag was burnt and no salt at all, the chilli chicken tasted like frozen chunks - freezer burn taste and lamb vindaloo tasted pretty much a frozen entree! And most surprising no rice with entrees! AWFUL food, would never order or go here, we are better off buying frozen meals at the stores.
Great food, friendly staff. We tried 4 different things. Chicken Korma, garlic Nan, a lamb dish and an interesting app. That was crunchy & flavorful. Nothing was extremely hot . We will go back.

The food is amazing!! We tried a few different items and loved them all. The Paneer Masala was especially delicious! Great lecel of spice and heat, just what you want from good Indian food. Definitely recommend!

To see that this place serves, in house, foil lined, paper, or in styrofoam, for the prices that they charge made me wary to begin with. Alas, because if it's proximity and the urgency for a spicy mouth feel, I decided to give this place a try, but baby steps. I started grubhub. Chicken biryani, lamb biryani. So far, unimpressed. An overabundance of noodley onions throughout. Who does that? The only visible onion that should be in biryani is a fried crispy garnish. Onion creates the gravy in which the meat simmers, but it is dissolved. Going boneless isn't preferred by Indians, it fancifies biryani and therefore gives grounds to charge a little more. We counted only 3 or 4 dry pieces of lamb and chicken in each serving. At around $16 a serving, cmon Jalsa, throw a few extra morsels in, don't be all scroogey. I'll be watching Jalsa. It is new. Unless I hear good things from friends and loved ones, I don't feel moved to visit.

Great service and drinks. The lassi are a must try, especially the mango which is made with real mango and not just the pulp. The chaat snacks goes nicely with drinks and are decently sized for bar snacks.
