Pleasantly Surprised! Before I go on about the food, I have to give credit to the young man who was our cashier. He explained everything since it was our first time in a very concise and patient manner. Very affable personality!The food: I got the lamb which was excellent but next time I'm going to get the chicken as they're grilled on a kebab in ceramic barrels. The brown rice and veggies were perfect. It comes with one sauce, but I got 3 additional as they're only $.35 each. I'd do it again. Tamarind Apple was my fave but I'd still get the other 3 again (I don't like Ranch, I'm not a yinzer.). I also got a side of naan. Excellent as well. I'm looking forward to this being a regular spot when we want something quick and effortless.

Visited this place with very low expectations and this place made my day. Tried their chickpea masala and dal and both were replica of home made food made by mothers. Ambience and atmosphere is stunning and service was right on point. Very friendly front staff. self Orders can be made at their kiosk. There is good vegetarian selection on their menu. I will definitely visit this place again soon. Will update the second visit experience soon.Vegetarian options: Chickpea, samosa chaatParking: Don’t worry about parking when you are hereKid-friendliness: Kids friendly place

First let me say the service was amazing, a kind woman took the time to explain the entire menu and food came out quick. But as someone that frequently enjoys Indian food the food fell short. I got the Choolaah bowl, with chicken, tikki masala sauce, and samosas and naan. The naan was flavorless, and had way too many seeds on top, the chicken was burnt and I couldn’t chew a lot of it which is the opposite of how tikki masala chicken should be, and the rice was undercooked. The pre made sauces were good but the samosas were very dull.

The food, the staff, the place, the atmosphere, everything is more than 5 stars. I always enjoy having a meal here. Whether it's something quick for on the go or sitting down and taking my time, there's a good meal available on the menu. I always look forward to trying a new sauce or mixing them up! The ice cream is truly delicious!!Parking: Free parking right in front of the place.Kid-friendliness: There's a kid menu and enough space for them.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs in sight.

Changed my rating to a 1. The crunchy stuff from the dirty grill turned my stomach.Pretty dry and flavorless... not what i expect of Indian food. The free sauce cup was only half full. Everything else is extra. Tea was spoiled.

The importance of hand washing and hygiene needs to be reinforced with the staff here. Witnessed a staff member in the kitchen eating and licking their fingers before putting gloves on to prepare my order. Nothing wrong with grabbing a bite or checking your phone. But please wash your hands before resuming food handling.

I could easily eat here everyday. The food is so good, and the staff is really nice, too. They call me by my name, when they totally don't have to. Happy it's in the Robinson area.

I ordered from grubhub a lamb wrap with wheat naan but they sent me regular naan instead and pav bhaji where the pav were severely undercooked so I had to grill them againUpdate: just want to come back and add I ordered the same things next week and they did everything great so definitely satisfied with the order

The Chipotle of Indian food, but that's not a bad thing, it just is. Pick a base dish, sauce, and protein and you are on your way to a tasty meal. This area was sorely lacking in Indian cuisine and this place fills the niche. Prices are reasonable and everything I've tried has been great. Every sauce is delicious, so don't stress the choice. Finish off your meal with a Mango Lassi and some cardamom kulfi. I do wish they still had the Mango kulfi, but the cardamom is good as well.Parking is easy, the atmosphere inside is a nice respite from the dreary, gray gloom outside, and they have a cool handwashing station (I'm not kidding, it's neat). Recommended.Parking: Parking is easy.
