It's a takeout setup - some room to sit and eat, but I consider this an Indian food takeout gem within a grocery store. I'm happy with Palak Paneer with rice, and this place hits the spot every time.

They have Indian spices that Safeway, Giant, etc al., don't carry. Also really good okra, ginger, and cinnamon sticks. Neat snacks and teas, too.I visited the shop, not the restaurant.
The best tadka daal ever. Miss home? Come here, uncle-ji treats you like family.

Samosas are excellent and the grocery section, though small and cramped, is good. Chicken tikka masala was very good. Garlic naan and Lamb curry were good. Friendly staff.
Awesome food. Great price
I work right across the street and my coworkers and I order food from here constantly! The chicken tikka masala is better than I’ve ever had, butter chicken is also amazing. The food is always fresh and amazing! Great grocery selection too.
Somehow they carry everything in their little store and are always helpful!

Do not order Dosa
I ordered some idly sambar and a chicken biriyani. The biriyani was amazing but I don’t think they know what an idly sambar is. The sambar and idly came in separate containers. There was so little sambar, not even enough to soak one idly in it. And the idlis were really rubbery and sticky. This is the only place nearby I can get South Indian tiffin for a reasonable price but this made me so sad. Two stars because of how good the biriyani was tho, especially for the price.
Great place. Super friendly service and really good food. Our go-to place
Wow. These guys have stepped up their game since I was last here. Particular kudos to the chicken 65, lamb biryani, and bhindi. Always satisfying, the food was less oily and more refined. Flavors popped! As always- this is takeout city. Go. But Don’t look for ambience here.
