Kind, helpful owners/staff. Amazing malai kofta! I have a favorite place in my hometown and have never found a malai kofta that is as good as theirs until now. It’s perfect. The plain naan was amazing. Price was fair. Thank you!

Had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. The service really stood out, Dave was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His warm hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place, and we’ll definitely be back!

Best mixed pickles we've ever had. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. The quiet music playing in the background was a great reprieve from the busyness of the city.
