That was an amazing place. I tried their mutton biryani , chicken biryani and tandoori chicken.

I've ordered from these guys a couple of times and while the food isn't the best, it was still good enough and convenient since it's pretty close to me. The last time I placed my order online, it automatically directed me to this 3rd party payment service (again this was listed on their website) and I got a confirmation email, voicemail and receipt. When I went to pick it up, the guy tells me they don't use that service and so they hadn't confirmed me order. Okay fine, sure, so I just placed the order there and he said he would try to rush it for me, which was great! Until I got home and actually tasted the food. Thank you for hurrying my order but if it was going to taste mediocre and rushed I would have rather just waited the extra 10-15 minutes to get food that actually tasted like the dishes I ordered. The Lamb Briyani tasted like white rice with the tiniest pieces of lamb in it, the Chicken Curry was super watered down with barely any flavour and I received Samosas when I ordered the Samosa Chaat. So it's no longer convenient for me to order from you guys nor is the food in any way worth it. I will be driving the extra 15 minutes to get my Indian food going forward .

First look at their health score. I got Uber eats takeout and I got some simple items: samosa chaat, mango lassi, rasmalai, channa, and garlic naan. The lassi was spoiled - I think the yogurt/buttermilk it was made with went bad. Smells horrible. the rasmalai also tasted and smelled rotten and bad, the garlic naan was dry and looked like it was days old. Even store bought naan looks and tastes better. Look at the naan picture. The channa is easily the worst I've had - I don't think this is channa masala. I have no idea what this is actually. I don't taste any masala, and tomato. I'm really confused what it's supposed to be. If you're ordering takeout I highly recommend steering clear of this place. I'm surprised how many high ratings this place has. I'm usually really liberal with this stuff but my god this place scarred me.

Ordered through grub hub for pickup. Order said in the works for over an hour with no update. Called to ask what was going on, and the owner told me they were waiting on the grubhub driver without checking my order to see that it was set for pickup. Tried to explain it was for pickup and that I was waiting on an update to come pick up my food, and got cut off repeatedly and told that if it is an order for pickup that I would need to come get it. I understand what pickup means, and did not need an English lesson from someone who doesn't listen to the issue presented or bother to check which order I'm calling about before throwing out random excuses. Told the owner he didn't need to be rude and that I wanted a refund for the poor service I'd received. He hung up the phone at this point. I called back to verify my refund was being processed and got told that grubhub needed to refund my money. Given I've never had such poor service from somewhere that I've needed to request a refund, I was unaware that the restaurant could not process it. Tried to cancel the order and put in for a refund on grubhub only to be told that an order cannot be canceled while listing as "In the works" as my order was still listing as being made because of the restaurants incompetence. Overall, absolutely horrible service, and I will be taking my business to somewhere that understands customer service and the basic courtesy of letting someone finish speaking before running off at the mouth.

Do you love indian/subcontinental foods? If so, then you can certainly give this restaurant a try. Their buffet menu has limited items but the taste is pretty good. Also the price is comparatively on the low side. You can also have regular items and those are pretty delicious too. If you are from india or around that region, you might find someone from your country as well.

Good place for eat in or take out.

Good lunch buffet. Goat curry and the vegetable pakora are fantastic. Could use another vegetarian option or 2. (Latham Biryani has better veg options and better tandoori chicken but no goat curry).

Food was underwhelming- requested that some items to be prepared spicy and they were sweet ? One of the dhal entrees we ordered was a different item altogether .. breads were tasty and staff was nice however

Great food and great service. I will definitely visit again. It's in a great location and it's very easy to get to. The server was super friendly and there was a generous amount of food, so make sure you come hungry because you will be full when you're done :) The Indian food is very authentic. I highly recommend this place.

I find this place is just ok when it comes to taste. It’s a very small and cozy place. If I remember it correctly it’s a family run business . Writing this review after a long gap, so couldn’t write a detailed review. I found it very difficult to find this place.

I've ordered from them a couple times now and, this past time, it was the best it's been. Normally I'm used to giving a spice level at restaurants, but they, same as many in the capitol region, don't seem to do this. However, if you ask them to spice it up, they do an amazing job! I got the chicken tikka masala and asked for a little spice and it was amazing. Maybe a 2/5 spice at restaurants I've been to in the past. The garlic naan is also delicious. The staff inside are always so nice too. It may have a simple interior, but sometimes that's where the best food comes from, and this is no exception.
