Believe the rating - this place is the best Indian food in the city. The first time I went here, I sat next to an older Indian woman who boldly proclaimed the lamb curry was the best she’d ever had in her life. She was right - the meet is so tender and the curry is perfectly balanced. Even the naan - it’s textural and flavor perfection. Come here, be happy

I have made a 1.5 hour round trip for the second time now because I love the authentic and delicious south asian food here. My favorites include coco kebabe curry, prawn biryani, cheese naan, shrimp balchao, and samosa chaat (aloo papri chaat is very similar, but crunchier. I still prefer the flavor of samosa chaat.) for dessert, I tried their rose ice cream which is made in-house. I love rose flavor, so I found it delicious and light
