Nothing special about the food. It is not worth the bad service. I have tried their Sambhar once. Not authentic at all.

Extremely Disappointed and Concerned. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was beyond unacceptable. I just called the restaurant to check on my order and the receiver at the restaurant was extremely rude and just hung up on me.

I had the butter chicken, it was bad.
Price and portion size was good, but the quality is very bad.
Rice is overcooked, chicken is overcooked/dry, and the sauce is not very good.
Also it was not hot enough, its luke warm.

I ordered the vegetarian combo for 1 BOGOfor $26 ($13 each) and the portion size for one box is ridiculously small. The whole box was smaller than my hand. The portion size of dal, chana curry and matar paneer was laughable and all 3 curries combined, it was still not enough for the rice. The have shown a different photo on uber to scam people of how small the actual portion size is.
I believe the portion size of each curry was less than 4 oz and the total box would be 18-20oz which is ridiculously small for such a price.
This was my first and the last time ordering from this restaurant and I will let more and more people know to not order from this restaurant.
If you really want to burn your money, then only order it from the restaurant.

Chicken kothu was okay, had better. Also the staff who took my order did not ask for name and order so when I picked up my order, she was looking into the boxes to see which one was mine.
Food is good no doubts ..but you should work on your service and offer sectional container as it very inconvenient for a customer to eat if they get combo

I bought mutton kothu and chicken Biriyani. The mutton kothu was really good and the Biriyani was good but it could’ve been little more flavorful. But really liked everything ❤️

I had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious — every bite was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was neat and appealing. The service was excellent too; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our meal.
Overall, I was highly satisfied and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Extremely Disappointed and Concerned. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was beyond unacceptable. I found human hair in my food — not just once, but multiple times during the same visit. Naturally, I brought this to the attention of the staff, expecting at least a sincere apology and some accountability. Instead, I was told, “It’s common in our food.”
Let that sink in.
Rather than acknowledging the seriousness of the issue or offering a resolution, they dismissed my concern entirely — as if finding hair in your food should be part of the dining experience. This is not only unprofessional but unhygienic, and frankly, a health risk.
Restaurants have a responsibility to maintain basic food safety standards. If foreign objects like human hair are considered “common,” that speaks volumes about the kitchen practices and the overall attitude toward customer care.
I would strongly advise anyone considering this place to think twice. Cleanliness and respect for customers matter — and sadly, this restaurant seems to lack both.

Food was clearly not fresh, watered down and the rice that was supposed to come with the curry wasn't included in the order.
