I’ve had good Indian food in my day but to find this place (or should I say this gem) made me a happy girl. The food was phenomenal, the staff was friendly, it may just be the best I’ve ever tasted. If you love Indian food like I do or just want to try a new cuisine, check this place out! Too bad you can only give 5 stars, I’d give more for sure!

Guys. This place is a beautiful escape to different regions in India. There are traditional dishes and ones with modern accents. If you are traveling the area stop by for a lunch that will fill your soul. I recommend the Makhni Wings and Velvet Lamb Korma. Both made with love and blessed with a touch from heaven.
Just when we thought we were full, the menu gazed into our eyes and intoduced their friend: fried cheesecake and the gulab jamun. It was love at first bite.

Loved the food we got from Sandalwood! We ordered the samosa chaat, pakora, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and anna. Everything was delicious! Definitely would recommend if you're craving Indian food!
