We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and we shared them all. I was absolutely impressed. I totally enjoyed EVERY item. I especially liked the curry fish with coconut milk. The service was exceptional and very friendly, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend this Indian Restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ.“

“The Respectable Woman walked the food out the door to our vehicle. The food was a benediction to my soul. It brought my will in tune with deific will. I could tell by the staff they uphold the integrity of taste. Also, the atmosphere & decor demonstrated both Spiritual and Terrestrial consciousness.

Eat here and you will not be disappointed, as they keep in line with necessity (hear me talkin?). 5 on the right. Peace.“

“The place was clean, had seating and great service. The sooji pani poori and kasta chauri was yummy. We ordered chole bature, aloo poori, masala dosas, manchurian and hakka noodles.

We always appreciate reliable vendors who help make our couples' celebrations a great success!“

“Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Food is excellent. Reminds me of Bangladesh town in the Bronx. Vegetable samosa (singhara) needs some salt. Chicken patty (puff) needs more filling (hardly 2 small pieces of chicken in them. Chicken biryani was delicious. Tandoori chicken was good as well. None of them were served with condiments (sad). The best of all is the Chai, it was spot on.

Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Upon arrival the cashier didn't greet or welcome, however, the server was welcoming. The server was able to speak in English and Hindi which was nice. He was patient and answered all the questions. On purpose I asked the server to pack different things randomly to see his service and he was impeccable. Good customer service.

Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The restaurant is in a sketchy area, not the best of places, however, the restaurant/bakery captured the essence of the area and brought beauty to it. The ambience is very south Asian and reads the area well. Music and clearly labeled menu items with prices would help.“

“Loved the food here! We got takeout for a cozy Valentine’s dinner at home and it was delicious!!! The goat and chicken biryani were great portions and so flavorful without being overly spicy; the samosas were crisp and the aloo tikki (which I’ve never had before) were incredible!! The garlic naan was a bit pricy but also thicker and larger than any I’ve had in any other South Asian restaurant. Cant wait to come back here for more!!“
