Chicken 65 and chicken biryani were amazing! The spice was exactly how my family would utilize spices. One of the rare spots in UES that makes amazing Indian food. Wow! It felt like a bowl of home!
September 2025
Our favorite local Indian spot. The food is fresh, delicious, and fast, and the staff always make us feel welcome. Try the mulligatawny soup and chicken chettinad if you haven’t before!

They do lots of carry-out business, but we typically dine in since the dining room, while small, is very comfortable and not too loud.
August 2025
Long time takeout orderer, first time dining in. The service was immaculate, the staff was quick and courteous, and the food (as always) was fantastic. Lamb Rogan Josh and Dal Tadka with aloo paratha is my typical order (both amazing) but had the butter chicken and garlic naan for the first time. Both had great flavor and portion sizes were healthy. Continues to be one of my favorite places in the neighborhood! Just wish the air conditioning worked better -- was quite hot in there.
