Me and my husband ate here for the first time the food was very good definitely will come back when I’m in the area . The chef Balkrishan is very nice and so is the cashier . Good atmosphere and clean you should come by

I ordered the Samosa Chaat appetizer along with the Punjabi Chole Masala as the main dish — with a spice-level of “spicy.” The food is wonderful — some of the best Indian I have had in the area!

One of the best biryanis I’ve had in a long time. I come here often with friends, and being away from home, it’s become my go-to spot for quality Indian food. The staff are warm and friendly, and the overall atmosphere is great. If your are in the Durham or Duke area this is one of the best places to get quality Indian food!
