This place is amazing! The staff are friendly and helpful. There’s a great selection of dishes to choose from. We got the Malai Kofta, goat biriyani, vegetable samosas, garlic naan and masala chai. They were DELICIOUS! The food was perfectly spiced, good portion sizes and served hot and quickly. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the lighting is soothing and it’s not too loud despite it being packed. We will absolutely come back again and again!

My wife and I love Indian food and decided to try this restaurant for the first time on our wedding anniversary. The restaurant filled up quickly but did not get loud like a lot of places do. The service was incredible - fast, friendly, and professional. The food was outstanding! We will definitely be back!
