My fiancé and I went in for dinner and ended up being shocked on how empty it was. The food was amazing and the owner and his wife were incredibly kind. It’s definitely a new favorite and a must try for anyone looking for good food and a comforting environment

The man working the day I was there was very kind to me and even went out of his way way to hold the door for me as I left. The food was splendid and the restaurant is beautiful and comfortable
June 2025
This restaurant was so authentic I felt like I was in India! The food was prepared with so much care, everything was made home made. The dishes are very authentic. I had the non-veg thali and the masala tea and both were the best food I have had in my life. Undoubtedly this is the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to in USA!
