Simple eating experience that is not overcrowded with tables. Authentically decorated from the front counter all the way to the back of the seating area. The food is fairly average. The guy that works here as the server though is top-notch. He never stops moving, constantly wants to ensure that everybody is taken care of and wants to ensure that you have a good eating experience. If you're not sure about eating here, even if it's just for the service and atmosphere, it's worth giving it a shot

Ordered chicken tikka masala, through a delivery app. Food was fresh and yummy. The rice was perfect and the garlic naan was the star of the show. The tikka masala was lacking in flavor, and I asked for medium spice and it was not spicy at all. Next time I’ll get extra spicy! But overall it was yummy and filling.

Nice buffet on weekends. Great for lunch and dinner. Staff is friendly. Sign up and attend one of their cooking classes.

Good food!! You need to customize depending on your taste buds. I ordered tandoori chicken (and asked for it being slightly overcooked with the burnt charcoal smell and spice level -6/10) and chilli chicken curry (spice level -8/10). Chilli chicken was too spicy but I liked it. Both dishes as well as the samosas were good. Everything was cooked perfectly. No complaints at all. Good indian food!! The service was perfect as well.

Price on the website doesn't match the price once you pay in store. Almost $21.00 for small pieces of meat and rice. A total Rip offf. I'll never come back.Edit: Kebab Platter was the main course not an appetizer. In fact, that tiny portion explains that I was charged the price of a main course but given an appetizer. I had one Nan and a side of rice. So, unless you charge for a side of rice as much as the main course, then there is no explanation to that price.

I have eaten at this location when it was Jewels of India, and it was good, but now it is fantastic! I ordered from Uber Eats, and the food was prepared promptly, allowing the driver to get it to me fast and hot. I had the samosa chaat, the kebab platter and basil naan. All of them were great, and the presentation was beautiful, even on a delivery order! Clearly, the chefs take great pride in their work. I work at a hotel and am often asked for restaurant recommendations. This restaurant will be among my top recommendations from now on!

I’ve tried numerous locations for Indian cuisine and this is now a Top 3 favorite. The service was fantastic, our water was never less than half full, the Garlic Naan was great, we had the kebab app and it was just as good (though could have been a slightly larger portion) but where the kebab app lacked in portion, the dinner really was a large amount and made up for it. All of our meals were fantastic. 2 of the people with me never had Indian Cuisine and they REALLY enjoyed their meals.Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, chili chicken and the combo biryani were our meals. Chili chicken was a huge hit!

The food is delicious, the packaging, not so great. I ordered on Uber eats and it came in the same open bag that it would if I picked it up myself. It wasn't stapled or taped shut to ensure a safe and untampered delivery. And one of my containers leaked on my other food and bag, so taking it all out was a little messy.It was great, but I'll probably pick it up next time or not order at all. I'm not comfortable knowing the driver could've took a bite of my food without me knowing smh.Vegetarian options: Plenty. Channa, rice, biryani, samosa, onion baji, tofu etc.Parking: Street. May have to walk a block.

This measly portion of almost jerky like meats was supposed to be a "Mixed grill feast" and that's what I expected for $22. Not these tiny dry pieces and one shrimp. Also it's all chicken. It was supposed to include

It's a miracle how they can keep the lights on with food like this! Overpriced garbage! The tandoori chicken has less depth in its flavor then KFC chicken, and as a person who loves Indian food for its depth, this is an absolute abomination. The only thing good about this place is they got my order ready in less then 15 minutes (mainly because they are empty) so my disappointment came swiftly and with haste.

Outstanding customer service and we had the buffet at lunch. It was totally fresh and great dishes to choose . Great experience. I suggest a buffet if never eaten Indian food to get acquainted with dishes and taste.

Depending what I get it could be good or just ok but the fried cauliflower and the rice abs lamb was really great. It also comes with chicken and the chicken one is better. Not fun of the mango juice though but my friend liked it.

Arrived on a Friday at noon and stood around waiting for the restaurant to open. About 20 minutes later an employee wandered by and said the restaurant was closed until 4pm as several employees did not show up for work. And while I understand this predicament, why did the establishment not put a notice in the window or on the door. No excuse for lack of good business practices.

The food was really good , our server (guy) and a manager (girl ) was really good. The biryani was extremely spicy so we returned it , but the server and manager took it out from the check , but will definitely go there again . Thanks to the server and manager .
