Picked up a to-go order of saag paneer, garlic naan, and a mango lassi for just over $20. It fed two people. We agreed the saag was actually spicy as requested, and was delicious. I can’t believe I haven’t eaten here as often as Amrit or Taste, but it’ll be in the rotation more often.

I thought it was really good! You might not expect it from the outside, but the interior of the restaurant is pretty classy I was there for dinner on a weeknight, and while there were a few takeout/delivery orders that came through, I was the only dine-in customer, and the man who served me was extremely courteous.
I ordered their vegetable malai kofta, plain naan, and Indian tea. I’m pretty sure what I was kadhi kofta instead of malai kofta; the gravy tasted like tangy...

I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Paneer Naan, and a Mango Lassi, everything was just perfect. The curry was super flavorful and creamy, the naan was soft and delicious, and the mango lassi was refreshing and tasty.

The staff were really friendly and the whole vibe of the place was nice and welcoming. If you love Indian food (or even if you’re trying it for the first time), you have to come here! Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in Bloomington, IN.
