This was my first trip to this restaurant and wow, they did not disappoint! My coworkers have gone here several times for lunch over the last few months and unfortunately I wasn’t able to join them. Fortunately though, was able to finally try it for myself. The outside of the building isn’t much to look at but the inside is a lovely surprise. The waitstaff were friendly and the food was delicious. The friends who joined me for dinner, eat here regularly so I know that I will...

I have not been back here in a while but this is definetly a spot I need to return again to. The atmosphere is very good and cozy. Lots of customers inside when I dined here. It was a impromptu stop in and I had not intended to eat here tonight. But suffice to say this is probably one of the best local restaurants I've ever tried. The food portions were generous and you could tell everything was prepared from scratch. This place is fine for dining solo or with a small group....

Best restaurant in Aiken. Food is always perfect. Service is always excellent! I never tried Indian food until I ate here. I really didn’t think I’d like it, but I loved it. Also they’ll do it mild if you don’t like spicy.
