I ordered chicken and lamb biriyani for take-out. The food was absolutely fantastic. The portions were great too. The level of heat was great and what I expected (they ask you to choose what level of heat you want). I'll be trying the rest of their menu out and I'm hoping it is the same experience as I had with the Biriyanis.

The food is delicious and the people are kind! The chicken tikka masala is a great classic if you aren’t as familiar with the cuisine. Saab paneer highly recommend! Everything I have had is delish! Please try!

Super fresh. Everything I've ordered has tasted great. Friendly staff. Casual setting with booths and tables. My new fave Indian restaurant. Kinda hidden in strip center on Ohio Pk just off I-275.
