FOOD POISONING -Salmonella
In 2024, I went here with two friends on a Sunday. I had mango chicken type dish. It kind of tasted funny, but I ate it anyway. Later, the vomiting and diarrhea started.
It intensified over the following days. I was in bed the entire time. Ag one point I had a 106 temperature.
By Saturday, I was urinating blood. I went to the ER and was in full blown kidney failure. I spent 6 days in the hospital.
The health department inspected them and they failed for chicken.
It turned my life upside down. Please be careful where you eat.

Absolutely stellar food with great flavor. A ton of great vegetarian options, and the mango lassi was perfection

Wonderful lamb masala and aloo paratha. The homemade kulfi is a special treat -- not many Indian restaurants take the time to make their own!

Great local Indian place with friendly staff, attentive service, and marked vegan options. Vegan naan is incredibly hard to find, so we were so happy to see it! I recommend the chana, baingan bharta, and tofu aloo mutter. Samosas are crispy, but the filling is not my favorite.

I don’t believe this is really a restaurant. No one ever eats there. I did once and it was awful. I think It’s a cover for something else.

The food is delicious, but the service is horrible and so is the attitude of the employees that work there/own it.

Terrible. I have been a very loyal customer for my whole life so I know there lunch specials have ALWAYS ended at 3:30pm. Recently when I have gone there they have on multiple occasions tried to lie to me saying there lunch specials end at 2:30. Before I went today I called and said I would like a lunch special she said ok and then continued to charge me double for a regular meal even after being confronted about it. Terribly disappointing and will not be getting food from there anymore and I recommend you don’t as well until they start to not try to scam their loyal customers anymore.

We cane across this restaurant while walking after a visit to. Emily Dickinson Museum and pleasantly surprised to see a nice Indian Restaurant seemingly run by Punjabi family. Portion size is good. Food is tasty and perfect for anyone feeling homesick and craving for North Indian food

The whole experience is wonderful- especially in this rural setting where popovers are worshipped and apple butter is a delicacy. The menu is loaded with interesting and tasty dishes made at any spice-level you want. Lunch is a particular bargain, but for these meticulously made items like homemade cheese and naan bread fluffier than a cloud I dare people to try to make any item better at home. I’d love to hear about your chutney in Kerela that was better, but remember… this is Amherst and we are so blessed to have people making outstanding recipes from one of the great ancient cultures of the world right here. Next to great popovers at the Black Sheep. The family that owns this restaurant is very kind and the whole experience is one of being transported across the world to another time and place. Linen napkins sit in huge water glasses that you will need filled repeatedly if you ask for the spiciest renditions. The service is very attentive so you will not run out. To me this place is a hidden gem that represents great cuisine brilliantly in the Happy Valley.

Great place with a clearly marked vegan and gluten free menu. It was good food and everything tasted fresh and hot!

Clean and very well organized. Food is very small portions. Not a great taste as they claim.
