Where do I begin? The food here was nothing short of spectacular. Everything from the presentation to flavor of every dish was perfectly done. We got a lot of food - we got the Goat Biriyani and the Malai Kofta as our mains and they were surreal. The Gobi was also fantastic and their samosas might have been the best samosas I’ve ever had.

Also, I can’t write this review without speaking about the staff and owner. From being extremely friendly to making some great recommendations (Shout out the mango pie for dessert) - they really had it all.

I can not wait to go back - if I could give more than 5 stars I would. My only regret is being too full to eat more.

I’m not usually one to leave a negative review, especially a 1-star rating, unless it’s truly warranted. Unfortunately, this place has been a disappointment twice now. After a lackluster first visit, I decided to give them a second chance a few months later, hoping it was just an off night. Sadly, that wasn’t the case.

With so many fantastic Indian food options within a 5-10 mile radius, this restaurant doesn’t hold up. The chicken tikka was underwhelming—just overly spiced, drowning in cream, and over unnaturally colored. The dal was passable but nothing spectacular.

As the closest Indian restaurant to my home, I really wanted to like this place. But after two disappointing experiences, I’ll definitely be taking my business elsewhere.

I almost never take the time to leave reviews but dear god is this place diabolically good. I consider myself pretty cultured when it comes to Indian food and high versus low quality, the Tikka Masala is a HARD 10 out of 10. Samosas are incredible, Nan is amazing and a heathy portion, this place hammers.

We went for Christmas Eve dinner and from the ambience, hospitality and food flavors everything got 5 stars from me.
My favorite was Baghare Baigan and Dal tadka.
Kids loved chicken tikka masala
We will definitely go back and place my next party order
Good luck to Prabhakar and Dinesh!!

We went for dinner tonight & the food was AMAZING!!! There’s a nice, calm atmosphere in the place which puts you right at ease.
The dishes were explained very well & the food came out promptly .
The serving sizes are plentiful & we have our dinner ready for tomorrow.
We started w/flavorful Samosas & followed w/an appetizer of Gobi 65.
This cauliflower is the most amazing thing I’ve had in awhile! Had to stop eating so I could save room for my meal.
I had Goat Sukha & my fiancé had Lamb Chettinad. Both meals were flavorful with meat that was so incredibly tender. We had basamati & briyani rice to accompany the dishes as well as some soft & delicious garlic naan.
For dessert we had the Mango pie. It tastes like summer. We had a Mango Lassi to go & it is a real treat!
If you’re looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming environment, please give this place a shot.
It is BYOB which is always fun!

The veg biryani was good with spice level as asked. The garlic naan was good with kadai paneer and butter chicken and it was fulfilling. The service was quick and not much rush on Sunday night. Parking space is limited at this place. When Rush hours difficult to get parking spot as other establishments also need to share the limited available parking spaces.

Visited for lunch and was seated quickly as it wasn’t busy. The ambience was decent, but parking is limited in the shopping complex. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The Kodi Vepadu was overly seasoned with curry leaf powder and lacked balanced spices. Both the chicken and goat biryani used the same rice, with the meat only at the bottom. The goat was okay, but the deep-fried chicken was sour and lacked biryani flavors. Overall, the food lacked the flavor and joy we were looking for, though portions were fair for the price.

Food was absolutely amazing and the whole experience was fantastic. The owner was there and he was super friendly. He gave us a lot of good recommendations for the menu as well as some details explaining the different dishes to us. He also shared with us how the restaurant came about.

We ordered a lot of things but my favorite was the Aloo kurma. It was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy. The sauce was thick but it didn't feel too heavy after eating.

Food was average overall. Chicken biriyani and chilli chicken was okay. Tandoori chicken was hard and not so good. Hyderabad chicken curry was average. Butter and garlic naan was good
