First time trying indian food and OMG it did not disappoint. We decided to go here for our first times because we knew the place had been around for a long time. It had to be good ! And boy, we were right !. Shafiq himself served us and the customer service we got from him was absolutely amazing ! Can't wait to go back already :) I'd give this place 6 stars if I could.

We had the opportunity to dine here prior to music fest in July 2025. We opted for a dinner for two and weren’t disappointed! The food was nothing short of phenomenal and the service was exceptional and made the experience that much more enjoyable. The flavours in the food were spectacular! We’ll be back.
