Great hole in the wall place to eat, came with a couple of friends. We were the only ones there when arriving and then a few more groups came in afterwards. The service was quick and the food was hot. I ended up getting medium spiciness and I would say it had great flavor without any of the burn. I will most likely try the hot spiciness next time to see. There is a wide range of food available.

Oh man, this place has been my favprite indian food restaurant in the q.c and surrounding area for about 17 years. I first started eating here in highschool, I started trying out the menu a little at a time. My favorite things to get are lamb vindaloo, paneer, keema samosas and naan. I LOVE their soups too and tea. They give the best service and the food is soooo flavorful. I love the relaxing environment and the lovely pallet cleanser at the cash out bar. Fennel seeds mixed with little hard candies, so yummy!!! This place is the best. You have to try it!!!!

Vegetarian options: Get the cheese dishes, amazing and full of flavor, you will not miss the meat!!!

I took my girlfriend here and we had a lovely meal. We ordered garlic naan, mulligatawny soup, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, and mango lassi. The crispy naan and hearty soup were highlights for me. The owner was warm and courteous, and the service was fast. Reasonably priced, too. Overall no complaints and I will be back!

Seriously the best Indian food in the quad cities. There isn’t anything on the menu that I have ordered that I didn’t love. My favorite things to order are the malai kofta, chicken tikka masala, mirchi pakora, vegetable samosas, aloo tikki chaat, (definitely recommend the platters for your first time to give a lil taste of multiple apps), all of their biriyanis are wonderful, and the naan is delicious. Again, I seriously have not had a single dish that I didn’t enjoy, but the ones listed have been my favorites. The mango lassi is delicious as well. The owner is also incredibly hospitable and kind. Such a lovely experience every time. Be prepared to be so full of warmth and love when you come here.

Don't let the outside fool you, this place is great! Just driving through and this looked like the best vegan option around. Glad we found this place. The chana masala and garlic naan were superb!

Chicken tikka masala. I’ve had plenty in my travels, this ranks as the lowest of the low. Honestly I’ve never had a bad tikka masala until tonight. Chicken was way overcooked and chewy. Sauce was bland. Garlic naan was also bland. No garlic flavor. No beer by the way. I was the only guest tonight. Didn’t go to the restroom due to others posts. Will NOT visit here again ever.

I had a very private and personal experience as no one else was there besides my date and I. The music was great I was moving my body to the authentic sounds of India. The gentleman who hosted us was incredibly polite. We ordered the Chicken 65 and it was so delicious! Garlic Naan bread on the side and a delicious Mango Lassi to sip all complimented my entree choice well. I will definitely be returning. The food was very delicious and you won’t find anything else this tasty in the Quad Cities.

Vegetarian options: My sister is vegetarian and I will be bringing her here. She will love the endless offerings for a meatless entree.

Everything about the experience was fantastic. The owner was extremely friendly and polite making us feel welcome I hadn't been there in a few years and the food was just as delicious as I remember. We both had the chicken 65 and the blend of spices was divine and a total flavor bomb. The business has been around for years but I don't feel gets the attention and admiration it deserves, nobody within 100 miles of this restaurant should be sleeping on the incredible food here
