The food here is okay. However, I had place an order on the phone and was told it was a 30 min wait. I came in after 45 mins and was told it would take another 15-20 mins. It seemed as they had not started my order at all. The total wait time from placing the order was 1 hour and 15 mins. I had to take the food home to my family who was fasting all day. I wish they had given me an accurate wait time. If I had known the food would take more than an hour to prepare, I would have went some place else. Please be more clear about wait times in the future. Lastly, the prices for food are a bit expensive for the quantity you receive.

They consistently serve us leftover food and we suggest them they could enhance their service on that matter.

Came for dinner and the food was ok. We ordered the special biryani which came with goat, chicken, and shrimp pieces which was nice. The taste of the biryani was okay but you can get more authentic biryani at other nearby restaurants.We came for the dosa which was nice and crispy but the filling inside was less. Ordered:- Masala dosa which came with potato filling, sambhar and chutney- Non-veg dosa which came with chicken filling, a non-veg curry and chutney- Kids special dosa which came with some Nutella inside. Overall, the dosa was decent.We also ordered the sweet lassi and a plate of medu vada to share. The lassi tasted good but was very diluted by the large amount of ice. The medu vada was made fresh and hot.Service was okay, it took us a while to get cups or water at our table. Overall, this is a decent place for Indian food but there is stiff competition nearby.Parking: There is parking in the front and back of the restaurant.

Chikka Tikka biriyani tasted like tomato rice and ketchup, tandoori chicken meat was too old, canned soup with some random raw masala thrown on it, tomato ketchup in a kebab roll. This is the most unauthentic food experience i had in a while.Simply too many items on the menu to focus on quality. Dying plants for decor and stale air smell from the air-conditioning. The waiter was amazing and price point was very reasonable.

My date and I had a blast here. Our waitress Lovebreet was so sweet and knowledgeable on teaching us indian cuisine. She made great suggestions. I got the goat Tikka masala and it was divine. Also got some garlic naan and they were fantastic. Perfect crunch and amount of garlic. The owner was kind of enough to give us gulab jamun for dessert. It was like a donut dipped in a honey glaze. It was quite unique but good haha. Great food and restaurant. Would highly recommend. Thanks again guys.

I visited with my wife after many years. We used to drive all the way from Philly multiple times and were expecting a similar experience but were disappointed.Service took a very long time and when it did arrive, the quality of dosas had fallen considerably. Sambar portions were tiny and we had to constantly ask for more. Stuffing portions were way less than comparable South Indian restaurants and tasted like days old, not fresh. Chutney typically makes or breaks the experience - here it was watery and just inauthentic.Makes us wonder if the backend staff is trained properly in South Indian cuisine. We noticed the menu is trying to do too much without focusing on their actual namesake “dosa hut”.

Great food. One of the best Indian restaurants around. My wife is Nepali and is a tough critic when it comes to Indian and Nepali food, but really enjoyed it.Ordered takeout from their website (tip: sign up for a free account. You get 20% off your first order. Website is very user friendly. You can easily see the dishes and easy to place order. You also earn reward points for future discounts).Food was very good:- Dosa’s were good (Plain, Egg and Masala). Masala was my favorite and had a little bit of spice. Plain was a little burnt. Dipping sauces were good (vegetable and one spicy white/creamy sauce)- Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious (my favorite)- Palak Paneer was delicious- Vegetable Samosa’s were good- Desserts were free and tasty (Kheer/rice pudding, Ras Malai, and Gulab Jamon)The location itself was nice inside. Parking out front.I look forward to ordering again in the future!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian optionsParking: Parking is right out front. Not a lot of space between parking and Main Street, so just be careful backing out. Handicap parking also available.

Was craving for South Indian food so checked out this place. We had masala tea which was made fresh and turned out awesome, however we were disappointed with remaining stuff. Dosa was big and had nice stuffing but sambhar didn’t taste like sambhar at all and coconut chutney had no taste as well.Idli which was the safest choice to have also turned out disappointingGood to try for those who are not looking for authentic South Indian taste however having tasted authentic and tasty South Indian food you might not like this place

Amazing chicken tikki masala. Also had garlic naan with the meal and just added so much to it

This place was amazing. We had chicken tika biryani, chicken chili, chicken 65 and chicken lollipop. All were cooked to perfection. Waiter/staff were very welcoming and place was very clean. Will definitely go back. Prices were reasonable and the portions were pretty big. I was very excited to eat so forgot to take pictures.

We went there last month and had dosa but that is too bad we don’t like it at all. Dosa has very little potato masala in it and sambhar chutney is also not good. Only we could say plain dosa is good without masala and sambhar.

Really delicious! Had the masala dosa and chicken tikka masala. Wasn't very spicy but lots of flavor.

Food was so so there more authentic places good for a budget. But don't expect your order to be right or if it is they will wait till your order is almost ready for pickup to say they don't have one item then say it will be an additional 40 minutes so you, get to the store 10 minutes early and they say it will be 30 more minute. Food was cold and there pictures of the food items are not what you get. There actual portions are tiny in comparison. They are nice and foods decent that's why they get two stars.

Mohammed Shariff

Phenomenal!!! If I could give it 6 stars I would. We had plain rice, lamb, butter chicken, samosa, rice pudding, garlic naan.Everything was delicious. The service was great. The place was clean. They even had a congregational place for Maghreb prayer.Awesome
