Gary was our server and was so sweet! He had a great suggestion for the appetizer. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to go back again. This was the best aloo gobi that I’ve had and the tandoori chicken masala was super yummy and the naan was perfect.

Great Punjabi Indian food and authentic chaat. They also have a variety of great drinks like mango lassi and fresh lime soda.

It was honestly kind of bland, and all the meats were kinda dry. Wasn't terrible, just felt like I was given stuff that had been in the back of the refrigerator for a week.

Best Indian food in town. Consistently delicious and friendly. Not everyone will love the dance music. But the food is so good I can't stay away!

TLDR: strong flavors, generous portions, friendly staff, and a few misses. Worth another visit.
Stopped in to place a takeout order (~20m wait). Staff were friendly and efficient. Heads up: there’s a noticeable mildewy/sewer smell when you first walk in—not subtle.
That said, the food mostly delivered. Portions were generous (no protein stinginess), and the flavors were solid enough that I’d come back to explore more of the menu. Leftovers the next day somehow tasted even better—everything had time to properly mingle.
Would recommend:
- Butter chicken – comforting, well-seasoned, reliable.
- Lamb-stuffed jalapeños – unexpected and fun; filling was nicely seasoned, though the breading was a bit too thick/heavy. Great with mango chutney.
- Mango chutney – don’t skip it.
- Mango lassi – not cloying, just right.
- Baingan bharta – my first time trying it and I was delighted: fire-roasted mashed eggplant sautéed with aromatics.
- Saffron goat curry – incredibly tender, not gamey at all. Slightly salty fresh, but noticeably better after a night in the fridge.
- Chicken momo – good spice, great size; excellent with mango chutney. Was just okay.
Skip:
- Cheese & garlic naan – bland and forgettable.
- Side sauces – one was overly sweet; the other was clearly spoiled (lid puffed up and exploded when opened—nope).

Amazing service. Food came out fast, and the servings were well-sized. I ordered the chicken biriyani and chicken tikki masala. Would come back again.
