Recent Reviews
Went recently for the first time and had their Paneer Shahi Korma. It was very bland. Although, I ordered it mild because it was my first time there, it can be mild and still have flavor. Seating in booth was kind of uncomfortable. You would feel the hard springs the entire time. My other party noticed that too. I don't think I'll be back here for a while. Will try another restaurant in the area. I hate to leave a review like this, but all in all it was a pretty mediocre...

Everything I've had there has been absolutely amazing. I don't like things too spicy, so I tell them mild please. Everything is made from scratch and never frozen from a box. Great atmosphere and service. I went there on a day that was close to 100 degrees outside and it was pleasantly cool. If you like Indian food put this place on your list. The best I have ever had. They also deliver but I suggest to go there in person. Enjoy!

Wonderful staff and good food. My husband doesn’t eat meat so glad to have veg options.
Vegetarian options: Multiple dishes are vegetarian - mains and appetizers. In terms of protein - several dishes include or feature beans / pulses. I believe they also have at least 1 item with tofu. A few have cream or paneer but others may be vegan.
