I would come here quite often but after today I would doubt going there. I would usually get the lunch box special with chicken curry and mixed vegetables. The chicken had a repulsive flavor, as if it had been reheated and excessively seasoned with salt. The addition of vegetables made it even worse, and what's more, they never provide utensils without being asked, despite charging nearly $16, when it used to be around $12. Their service has significantly declined.

They were slow and unhelpful from the beginning. Chicken was very dry and the naan was burn black. I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.

The chicken dish had good flavor, albeit it was slightly cooler than preferred. Given my hunger, I consumed it rather swiftly, and it remained quite juicy. I also found the veggie samosas quite delightful. They had a pleasant doughy texture, and the potatoes used were evidently fresh. The accompaniments of chutney and tamarind complemented the samosas exceptionally well. The mango lassi, as always, proved to be a satisfying choice.However, I must express some reservations about the chicken samosas. They were noticeably dry, resembling the texture of kibble. The rice accompanying the meal lacked flavor, leaving it rather unappetizing. The corn dish, while flavorful, did not align with my personal taste preferences. As for the rice pudding, I was disappointed; the use of basmati rice in rice pudding does not yield the desired result, and it ended up tasting more like biryani pudding.Lastly, the guulab jammun struck me as peculiar. It evoked memories of a Syrian dessert I have encountered before, which consists of fried dough soaked in sugar syrup and rose water. Overall, this dining experience did not rank among the best I have had.

Most disappointing Indian food I’ve had in a very long time. No flavor, it takes real skill to make Indian food taste bland. Had the tika masala. The sauce tasted like it was made by chef boyarde.

I have food poisoning right now as I write this. I just got back from hospital I was becoming dehydrated due to vomiting and diarrhea for two days.I thought about leaving a review, but I wouldn’t want anyone to feel the way I do. I’m sick in bed taking medication cause of this.Please do better in using clean water and food to serve the community.

Great food, great price. I got the Lamb Rogan Josh and it was very good. The naan was incredible.

Delicious indian delivery, quick and absolutely delicious cuisine

The samosa pastry itself is very delicious but the filling is overly seasoned, making it not pleasing. After a few hours, my stomach started hurting & I truly hope I don’t get sick. I will not be buying from here again.

chicken was inedible and rock hard; came in ketchup sauce. not to mention my partner got food poisoning from them, which they denied and said was imposssible since we've never ordered from them before-- where's the logic? negative 100 stars

I ordered the chicken jalfrezi and naan, which were both good. The chicken and vegetables had an amazing amount of flavor and was very fresh. However, the naan was quite dry and the chicken jalfrezi was a very small portion for $16. The service was also quite slow - it took about half an hour longer to arrive than the original delivery time.

Have ordered takeout twice from here, and had very enjoyable experiences both times. Spices taste fresh and bright, the curry is well balanced and delicious. I've gotten the tikka masala, saag, and a marinated lamb kebab, and mango lassi, all super yummy! I do wish that they would send chutneys with the takeout standardly, but other than that, this is a great pick for solid Indian food!

Terrible food for a terrible price. The manager cooks the food for some reason. He's bad at it. The chicken was hard, and the curry made me vomit. On top of that it tasted bad. He told me it's not the food's fault lol. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else

GAVE ME FOOD POISONING. Not only that, they pretended they didn't speak english when I called to tell them this. Then when I made a fuss they said the manager would call me back, which he never did. DO NOT eat here.
