I ordered a veg biriyani and a shrimp one. This is no biriyani at all. They cook rice and mix it up with a curry (veg, chicken, lamb etc.). Biriyani follows a totally different recipe. To make the matter worse, they don’t even use Basmati or any fine grain rice. The shrimp biriyani had only 5 medium size ones while the order value was $18. Last but not the least, I asked to make my biriyani 10/10 spicy. Later they charged $1 for each biriyani for making it extra spicy. Also, any indian biriyani house gives Paneer cubes for biriyani dishes when the order value is above $15 minimum. They added it to shrimp one after I asked. Steer clear. The shoddy food you are being fed as biriyani is no biriyani at all. They are cheating you. Do some research.

I wish I knew about this place sooner! It is very small but the service was great and the food was even better. Get the garlic naan, vegetable samosa, and the chicken makhani! It was so good! The lamb vindaloo was really good too! It had a little more spice to it but it was not hot at all. We will be back!

Nestled in the heart of Mascoutah/Belleville, this Indian restaurant is truly one of the area’s best-kept secrets. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with the rich, inviting aromas of Indian spices that promise a culinary adventure like no other.

The menu is a delightful array of dishes that celebrate the diverse flavors of India. Every bite is a testament to the chef’s skill in blending spices and ingredients to create dishes that are both delicious and memorable. The chicken tikka masala, with its creamy, tomato-based sauce, is a heavenly experience that dances on your taste buds. The biryani, fragrant and perfectly spiced, transports you straight to the streets of Hyderabad.

What sets this restaurant apart is not just the food but the entire dining experience. The warm, cozy atmosphere, coupled with attentive and friendly service, makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or a newcomer, you’ll find something to love here.

If you’re in the Mascoutah/Belleville area and haven’t yet discovered this gem, do yourself a favor and visit. It’s a hidden treasure that promises a burst of flavors and a memorable dining experience. Truly, it’s like a piece of heaven in your mouth. ?

The biriyani was WAY too spicy! I almost passed out. I couldn't enjoy the rice dish. The waiter saw I was struggling and offer the Mango drink to me, which was delicious. The Samosa was good! I didn't appreciate how I was still charge for the biriyani, even though I stated not to make it spicy and charge for the Mango drink that was offered to me. But if you like spicy foods, check them out

Wonderful service and the food was really good. Had been searching for a good Indian restaurant on this side of the river and I'm glad I came across this one. Highly recommend getting the Chicken Sag and Garlic Naan.
