Discovered this gem after moving to the neighborhood. Hands down best Indian cuisine I’ve had. Plus the interior is so cozy and calm, pretty quiet so you can have nice conversation. A great way to end the day 🙌
Ordered take out through ChowNow. The person providing the food over the counter was quick and accommodating. The restaurant itself appeared clean and warm, the packaging of my food was strong, they were clearly doing a brisk take-out business, so good to see/know.
The food unfortunately, wasn't the best. The samosas on this occasion were overcooked 150% (so, dark brown, very hard, and not even slightly flakey), the "thimbles" of sauce were no where near enough for three samosas (FYI, ask for extra). The food (sag aloo, and an eggplant dish) were fine, portion-wise, but honestly both were pretty bland. Needed more salt and flavor in general. The rice was oily, but had good flavor (bay leaves and cardamon pods). The portions / value was really good, but again, the flavor was mediocre.
All in all, I wish I could say that the food was fantastic (especially since a lot of reviews make it seem so), but while it wasn't by any stretch awful, it just wasn't great. I'll give it another go another day, but for a first experience, I personally wasn't impressed. Your milage may vary. If it's convenient to you, it's a fair choice, but I'll still be trying other neighboring spots as well.

Pearl Indian Restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience that brings the vibrant flavors of India to life. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the stage for a memorable meal, with warm, inviting decor that complements the rich tradition of Indian cuisine.
Bought kulfi to go for our group. The ‘kulfi’ was not kulfi and the contents were sour and rotten. Completely disappointing and disgusting.

I came here a while ago and asked for a non spicy Biryani, and then I received a spicy one. When I complained, they told me these are normal Biryani spices, and when I insisted, they replaced it with another dish that was a bit sweet. Looked like my first dish with something added to it. Besides this, the old member staff was really rude and almost yelled at us while calling him. Weird experience. Never again.

I had an extremely rude experience when I called to inquire if they’re completely halal. I asked three questions about their ingredients, specifically whether their soy sauce, chicken, and lamb are halal. However, the person on the phone yelled at me, saying "halal means all halal," as if I were ignorant. Some places claim to be halal, but only one item, like chicken, is actually halal, or they are kosher and claim to be halal. Respect and listening are important, and as a neighbor, they lost a potential loyal customer.

Had the opportunity of enjoying this establishment for the first time. A early Birthday dinner for my cousin and I. At first I was a little skeptical cause I never ate Indian food . Let me tell you they did not disappoint me at all. I ordered the Red snapper with the vegetable rice. Food came out sizzling hot. When I say it was ooh so good. Lot of veggies on the fish but that was ok. Look I didn’t think about taking pictures. ???? I was ready to dive in. That’s just what I did. Yes I recommend giving it a try. You and your friends, solo night. Date night or what ever. Just keep in mind it’s not a big establishment but it’s worth the time. Trust me.
Don't order delivery from them...food isn't the best either

We were the only dine in customers. They brought us water immediately. The appetizers were excellent, though I feel the staff is not good at explaining the dishes. The Lamb saagwala is good. I wanted to try new things, so the only known thing I ordered was garlic naan. I can't handle hot spicy food, so I deliberately asked before choosing my food choices.

Food is pretty good but didn't appreciate the crab biryani using fake crab, it should say imitation crab or krab at least
