Calamari cochin was very tasty. The Malabar Fish was tasty, with a rich tomato sauce. I will try the Fish Mollee next time. The onion naan included with the entree was very tastu.

Absolutely delicious food! I had the saag paneer, chicken tika and garlic naan. All three items were top notch. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some of the most quality Indian food in NJ!

​As an Indian family looking for traditional flavors, we were disappointed. While the starters and fried rice were okay, the Rogan Josh and Nirvana Biryani lacked any authentic taste or aroma. It felt overpriced for the quality provided. This is our personal view based on our experience.
