Unfortunately the butter chicken was not great. It was really sweet and almost tasted a bit like pasta sauce??? The garlic naan was disappointing as well. The hostess was very sweet and gave us free ice cream to try which was good.

It was my first time in this restaurant I was very disappointed by both the service and the behavior of the staff. From the moment I arrived, I felt like my presence was unwelcome. The service was slow, and also the guy he was dismissive and rude responses.What really stood out, however, was when I made my drink choices. Instead of being helped , the staff actually argued with me about my selections. This unprofessional behavior made me feel uncomfortable and disrespected as a customer.
Worst !!!! I left the food and went to bollywood masala

I recently visited this restaurant and was extremely disappointed with the service. The server seemed more interested in proving his opinions than providing good customer service. When I ordered a Sprite, he insisted on recommending chai instead, which was unnecessary and unprofessional.

Even after I made it clear that I wanted Sprite, he brought it in a glass instead of a tin. When I asked for the tin, he started giving unsolicited advice about how carbonated drinks cause gastric issues. I even mentioned that the weather was cold outside, and instead of acknowledging my preference, he again tried to push chai on me.

The experience felt more like a debate rather than a simple dining service. A server’s role is to respect customer choices, not challenge them with unnecessary opinions. The service was intrusive, unpleasant, and offensive. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re expecting a comfortable and hassle-free dining experience.

The food is awful, This was the worst Indian Restaurant when it Comes to taste of food, The food wasn’t tasty at all, I went to this place on Valentines night with my wife and my little daughter, First of All we were told that we have no reservation, Secondly we were told that we can be seated in the first table by door Entrance, The Restaurant was Clean, The Staffs were pretty polite, but I didn’t like the food, We ordered Chicken Karahi, Samosa, Chicken butter, Chicken butter tasted sweet and Chicken Karahi wasn’t Spicy at all, I even Tipped $18 but that’s the truth.
I am not insane to ruin someone’s business for no reason, I will be more glad to provide my Bank Statement Upon any request but the Receipt was Trashed right away, My complaint is not about the payment, It’s about your food quality.

Thanks for your understanding, Hopefully Positive Change is brought after my review.

If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Nepalese and Indian cuisine, this place is a must-visit! The flavors are rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, bringing out the best of traditional spices. Every dish is prepared with care, from the perfectly cooked biryanis to the flavorful momos and hearty curries. The service is exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer great recommendations. Whether you’re craving something spicy, mild, or completely unique, you’ll find something to love. A true gem for food lovers who appreciate quality and hospitality! Family owned business that treats customers like a family

The food and atmosphere are amazing. Seriously amazing food. BUT, The service tonight on Valentine’s Day was bad. Our server was so slow and never once asked us if everything was ok or if we needed anything. Took 20 mins to get a drink order after sitting. Multiple tables next to us waiting for checks for 25+ minutes after putting card down and constantly looking for server and then one table left after not being attended to after 20 min from getting there. There was one young lady who was hustling as a busser/runner but that’s it. Very bummed because food is fantastic!!!!
