I finally revisited this place after two years, and wow, the interior looks absolutely stunning after the renovation! It was such a pleasant and cozy vibe sitting there. The food was just as incredible as I remembered! Can’t wait to come back again!

Got almost all the dishes for take away as well

My wife and mother in law came for IFTAAR on 3/19/2025. Fruit Chat was one day old and darkened, Chanay (chickpeas) were smelly and old, Palauo (rice) and some others item as well. They have served old food while restaurants are required by law to serve fresh and not rotten food. Terrible food and won’t be visiting again.

Food not fresh, reheated and will probably cause indigestion to everyone. Service not welcoming. My order had an extra 4 dollars on checkout that I didn’t notice.
Highly recommend everyone to go to india square for better quality Indian restaurants

Extremely disappointing experience. The food was served cold, and when we raised this with the owner, she openly admitted that the food was prepared in the morning. That alone was shocking. The briyani we ordered looked terrible — the meat was blackened and clearly had been reheated multiple times. On top of that, we were charged more than the prices listed on the menu, with no explanation or apology. This kind of service and quality is completely unacceptable. Definitely not returning and would not recommend to anyone.

Sorry to say but this place is a total disappointment. Food is not fresh, according to the staff they cook it in the morning and heat up the food all day to serve the customers. The taste of food clearly tells that its been sitting in the kitchen for many days. The barbecue platter was served cold and taste was so bland. Only thing that was fresh that were the naans. Biryani was so old and reheated many times. Please don't waste your money at this place.

Very poor customer service. Pathetic and rude behavior by Chacha Gee working inside. I have come from UK and my friend took me to this place. The Chacha inside didnt pay any attention to take our order and let us wait for long and upon asking for whats in the breakfast he goes everything is displayed see yourself and let me know in a rude way. First ever and worst experience without tasting the food. Respected owner you really need to have a look at your business how your people are ruining your business. Enhance Customer service please. Thanks

I love Indian food and this is a quick stop for samosas and fried veggies. I always get a chai to go and enjoy it on my way home.

Whoever is giving this restaurant 5 stars for food is doing a disservice to other customers until they improve their food quality. 95% of the time, the food is old, frozen, and completely tasteless. The lady at the front desk will insist it’s “totally fresh,” but that’s far from the truth.

I have no personal issue with the restaurant, but the food itself and the dishonesty are unacceptable. My husband and I both got sick for three days after eating here. Stomach issues are not something anyone should have to deal with after dining out. I hope they take this feedback seriously and make improvements because this level of quality is dangerous and disappointing.

Tasteless, rotten stored food. The whole family got food poisoning with the cold stored food, which was just warmed and served.
