Best restaurant for indian food
Everything was on point and top notch and the food was fresh
The ambience is so relaxing
Really feels like home. I suggest anyone who is looking for best quality indian food in Metairie must visit there
October 2025
Words cannot describe my feelings for this place. The food is ESQUISITE AND AUTHENTIC Indian cuisine!! I honestly love every dish on their menu. The garlic chili naan with the spicy chicken vindaloo is to die for. 😋 They have the best tandoori. And Biryani is 🤌🤌. 10/10, minus the location.
August 2025
I was shocked with the portion they offered in that price. It was a lot. The servers were so good. Their customer service is on the top. Our water glass was never empty. They had an eye on us every moment and I think that good. But the food was a just little bland but I am sure you can work on it.
