Been to all the Indian restaurant in Kingston, usually food had been served with 10-15 min even at peak time and They took almost 1 hour and then they brought main course with starters, no doubt taste is good but waiting 1 hour for 2 dishes is the worst, only come if you have an entire day.

I had high hopes from this place as it’s situated in a prime location in Kingston downtown. As soon as you enter, there is this eerie smell that puts you off immediately. It’s probably because of the old carpets. We could have left if we weren’t that hungry at the time.We ordered Aloo Kulcha, Chole, Raita, and Masala Dosa. Everything was average and the dosa was below average. The ambience isn’t that good too. As an Indian, I felt they could do better to do justice to our flavourful cuisine and amazing culture. I wonder if people from other ethnicities comment on the hygiene looking at this place because it really bothered us.

We have eaten at all the Indian establishments in Kingston I have to say as far as service and food this was most disappointing. Not once where we asked about the food, our order of appetizer came out late and the main course followed immediately after this.The flavours were mediocre at best in the beef X dish and not at all flavourful. The nam bread was not made well and the shrimps in the biryani were over cooked, again not flavour infused. We would not go back.

Food was ok, just do not expect Indian food if you go there. I assumed the recepies were "Canadian style Indian food" ... My concern though is about the place's hygiene... I went there with my kids and the entire place smells like a toilet, Not joking! .... Very old building and doesn't matter where you sit, you can smell the washroom all over the dining area. We couldn't finish the food we ordered and we asked for takeout containers to just get out of there.... Poor employees working there.

We didn’t had a good experience with them. Took so much time someone come and take the order even though there is no other customer were there. We had order Masala dosa and pomegranate tandoori chicken. We almost waited there for 1 hour to get the food. The masala dosa was not at all good. Dosa was ok but the potato masala inside it is not great but the pomegranate tandoori chicken was really great. Ambience inside the store was good.

Meh, service and food are sub par. I’ve had 10/10 Indian food before (Grain of Salt, Cambridge ON) and this is not it. The flavours are bland and very surface level, the chicken was very dry, even covered in sauce. The service staff were not on top of things. Waters were empty, plates were piling up on the table. I know what is attainable for Indian food, so I was disappointed by this place. I suppose there’s a reason the buffet is $20.

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Kingston. They have a large variety of options (in virtually any category whetever we're talking about desserts, drinks, first courses etc) and ingredients, making it a good fit for people with allergies. The waiters were very polite and helpful and the overall atmosphere is very dynamic and pleasant

Food is amazing and service is great. First time going during the winter to eat in, and it was really cold in the restaurant and the music playing it was surprised that music was playing More energetic hip hop style music. I don't think that was playing last time, but just felt odd for such a nice sit down experience. Food is amazing and service is great nonetheless and will continue to go back. Just maybe in the summer when it is a but warmer.
I had the pleasure of enjoying two of their chicken biryani dishes, along with Chicken 65. The biryani was notably satisfying, offering a generous portion of chicken in every bite, which is a commendable aspect of their preparation. While the Chicken 65 deviated from its traditionally dry version, I found the gravy adaptation to be quite delightful, adding a unique twist to the dish. Also you do get raita with your biryanis. The service was exceptional, and it was reassuring to confirm through a direct inquiry that their food is Halal, catering to a wider range of dietary preferences.Parking: Roadside parking

Ordered butter chicken for delivery on Uber eats. 10/10 on flavour and portion size. Hands down the best butter chicken we’ve ever eaten. Got the butter naan as well! All the food was super hot and fresh when we got it. Will absolutely be returning.

I’m not sure if Sunday night is just an off night… But we waited almost 20 minutes after sitting down Before being asked for drinks… We were there over an hour, and no one at the table Was asked if they wanted a second drink. We were billed for items we didn’t order and never received some of the things that we did order. I’ve had a couple of good experiences here in the past, but there are so many other options in Kingston and it was so horribly bad this time that it’s highly unlikely, I will ever return or recommend to anyone
Fabulous food. Flavours were just lovely. Can unhesitatingly recommend. ♥️

We went last night for the greatly advertised buffet only to be told there was no buffet tonight and they do that when they want! Service was slow and minimal. Had to chase someone down after waiting 20 minutes to get our naan and 1 meal we were missing. Once we got the food it was decent. They need to update their offerings and advertising if the buffet isn't really a daily offering. Also need to work on customer service and coordination with the kitchen. Once they get that tuned up we will be back but not until.
