My absolute fav place to go with my daughter for authentic Indian cuisine. We often dine in or love take out nights. If you haven't been, don't hesitate. Salivating even thinking about it
September 2025
I had a wonderful time dining here! The food was incredibly tasty—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. The cleanliness and hygiene of the restaurant stood out and added to the overall experience. The staff were helpful, and made me feel right at home. Definitely a place worth visiting for both great food and top-notch service!

Catered twice from this place. The most fair price, gave me soo much food vs price I paid and the owner (and chef) even delivered to my place, very humble and friendly (the fact the owner is delivering food himself shows how much he cares about his business and how much he’s willing to do himself instead of delegating to others).
Food was very tasty! It also means a lot to the customer when the owner goes above and beyond!
