This is hands down the best Indian food I've ever had. I either go in or order online weekly. I have never had a single thing that is not amazing. I take anyone from out of town here, because the food is impressive. Its not bogged down with oil, tons of flavor. Nothing but good things to say about this place. I am a huge fan!

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and there is so many options for me to have. Everything is CLEARLY labeled.

Amazing way to start Ramadan with Anar’a premium iftar menu. Sima and Ronny did an amazing job welcoming us. Sima checked on us all throughout the different aspects of the meal from sabzi to dessert. Cant wait to be back again.

Couldn’t ask for a better Indian food around the park and what a nice staff.
Had the lamb Beryani with Naan and sides which we loved.
Though my guest was lactose intolerant and didn’t have good time after the Masala he had.
