Our main complaint is that there is often no veg soup option with the lunch special. Very surprising for an indian restaurant, and sometimes we choose to go elsewhere. Generally, we consider this the best tasting, and best quality of indian food in Charlottesville.

Great place! The servers always do a great job with my kids. They offer great recommendations when you want to try something new. Lovely staff and ambience. Will keep coming back!

I started coming here with my family a couple of years ago we have always loved the food and friendly service! The restaurant is always clean, the wait staff/manager are polite+attentive, and the food also comes out pretty quick.
