Delicious food. Dal makhani n aaloo paratha was amazing. Even plane lassi tasted soo good. Placed seemed a little old so was skeptical at first. But food and hospitality was really good. Food was catered to our taste.

Wonderful Indian food, but the decor is a little dated. I have always enjoyed what I ordered, and get takeout when I can. If you are around for lunch, the buffet is a great way to try something new.

I can tell when food is good when I order TIKAMASALA and in this place it wasn't the authentic indian taste, a little disappointed because is closer to home but I'll keep going to a Minneapolis placel.
