We love this place! The owner always remembers our order and greets us with a smile. The saag paneer is the best we’ve had in the area. Thanks for being a great neighbor!

This is my favorite restaurant for both dine - in and online orders. They offer excellent service and delicious Nepali and Indian food. I highly recommend giving it a try! Plus , they offer free traditional Nepali masala tea every day for everyone.

Indian takeout spot that keeps it light on MSG, heavy on spices.

I’ve grabbed takeout from this spot a couple of times, and unlike many takeout-focused Indian places that tend to go heavy on the MSG, the food here has a lighter touch—which I definitely appreciate. The flavors are a bit more subtle, but they don’t hold back on the spices and still keep things aromatic and satisfying.

So far, I’ve tried the vegetable pakora, shrimp biryani, and a few chicken dishes. Both the pakora and shrimp biryani were solid, and the only underwhelming dish was the Tandoori Chicken. It was incredibly dry—even the thigh meat was tough to get down without some veggies or sauce on the side. It tasted like it had been freezer-bound for ages, and the chicken breast was practically rock-hard. Surprisingly, the other chicken dish I tried, the Chicken 65, was a totally different story: tender, flavorful, and packed with spice. The default heat level was intense, so I’d definitely recommend pairing it with the yogurt sauces that come with the entrées.

We had pani puri here which was very forgettable and taste was lacking flavor. Puri were made with cheap substitute . You can buy pack of 3 puri(s) in costco for $7-8. I recommend using that and add bit more spices in pani puri. Samosa was good and appreciated the complimentary masala tea.

Very warm atmosphere, you can tell the food is made with love. I appreciate the free tea! The paneer tikka masala is my go-to, paired with garlic naan of course - although everything else I've ever tried here is delicious as well.

So I got my order quickly. When I arrived to pick it up it was a bit weird. The place was quiet. No one was in the kitchen, and only the owner and one worker in the main area.

I took some pictures and he asked why I was taking pictures, and I stated for my review. He acted as though he couldn't hear me, I had to repeat myself 3xs.No biggie. I grab my bag and leave. This is what I ordered:

1 Basmati Rice (Side Orders) $2.95: I was given extra rice by mistake I think, because you have to pay for rice. The flavor was off with it at the end, so I just decided to tossed that other container. Verdict: OKAY.

1 Green Chili Chicken (Everyday Curry Specials)
Mild | $16.95: I love a bit of heat, but kept everything mild because I was unsure at how my stomach would do. The chicken was dried out. I only had one piece that was nice and juicy, which is weird when it is smothered in sauce. Not much flavor in the sauce besides the heat. I think this dish and the Baigan Bharta had the same base, because they looked the same. Verdict: OKAY.

1 Baigan Bharta (Vegetable Entrees)
Mild | $15.95: My peas were not cooked and still a bit raw. The eggplant was not in chunks but masticated. Tasty, but shockingly a bit bland for what I expected. Still good, but nothing to write home about. Verdict: OKAY.

I was so bummed by my meal. I was looking for the bold rich flavors. It did help my fever break. I was feeling an little sick so the heat in the meal helped me feel better, but it wasn't super flavorful.

Verdict: OKAY.

Very satisfying food and great service. I got the lamb momos (very meaty big dumplings!) and lamb korma (creamy, nutty curry). I was afraid it would be too much lamb but the flavors of each were different and delicious.

The garlic naan was just how I like it: soft and thick (even the thinner parts were nicely doughy; I don't like when it's crispy and very thin).

The mango lassi was perfect: not overly sweet, very mango-y.

It all came with a rice plus nice little spiced rice pudding on the house!
