Orders lamb karahi- the lamb was rubbery and dry like old meat and l dipped in tangy tomato gravy, nothing matching karahi at all.. the tandoori mix was the next worst food.. chicken was hard and very evident that it was not fresh.. complaining about it was not even useful.Please improve ur standards of serving fresh food.

To find a dine in restaurant during afternoon after 3PM and that to Indian is something from wish list. Having good , hot and tasty food is a bonus

We had ordered lunch from this restaurant. Mostly a goat biryani and tandoori chicken tikka. While the quantity was fine. The quality of food itself was bad. The biryani was more like a sticky tomato rice with rubbery goat pieces thrown in. It’s not anything like a biryani. The tikka while good in taste was very dry. Felt like we were eating hastily put together stale food

Delivery was quick with Uber Eats. Had lamb biryani which was really good and the portion size was generous. The lamb chunks were plentiful and juicy. I picked the spicy option in the app, but feel personally it was only 3 out of 5 on the heat scale. The reason for only 4 stars was the vegetable samosa. I know it's just personal preferences, but I like mine with a lot of spices and peas. These were only lightly seasoned and mostly just tasted like plain potatoes. I am sure there are many others who prefer it that way, just not me.

Lovely setting in strip mall with ample parking. Nice restaurant with just 7 tables. Wonderful Lunch special on school lunch tray loaded with delicious delights. All very fresh. Great service, full menu and now a full belly.

Been coming here pre/post pandemic and it is the best Indian food you'll find in the state. Fresh, great variety, absolutely delicious and the service is top rate. You can customize "heat" factor, just ask. We look forward to sitting in the dining room again while enjoying the 'take out only' option for dinner.

Never super crowded but definitely a hidden gem. I’m honestly a regular at this point haha! My go to is butter chicken and garlic naan - always a hit. Staff is incredibly friendly, and it’s a very calm atmosphere ?

I really enjoy this place, but since COVID the prices have gone up significantly and the portion size continues to decrease.
I've continued ordering despite this, regularly dropping over $100 a takeout order, but today a lamb tikka masala entree came with literally 4 tiny pieces of lamb and the chicken tikka masala entree didn't even fill the new square container that is 50% smaller than their original pre COVID round one.
It's not worth it anymore.

This place is excellent ??! A little skimpy on the rice but other than that we were really impressed. We will be making this a regular.

Love their bespoke spice levels. Great naans. Chaat is a tad too sweet. Only goat and lamb is halal.

Looking for an Indian restaurant near by, we decided to stop by but we didn’t like the food at all. The food was very below average for the price we paid. The house special Paneer tikka masala was full of food color, and the paneer had a very weird taste, we couldn’t eat it. The bowl was left untouched as a result.Papri chat was good but the papri tasted old/stale. Naan were good but the chicken naan had a very weird taste and after taste was particularly bad.Staff was nice and indoor seating was spacious.
