This place is such a hidden gem. It's my son's choice every, single, time. It's so flavorful and the portion sizes are more than enough. Service is friendly and fast and the atmosphere is charming. Whether you love Indian food or have never tried it, I highly recommend checking it out. All of the negative reviews are literally local completion being petty, so I wouldn't even listen. Just stop what you're doing and go grab some Chicken Tikka Masala!!!!

I don't know where to begin. I've been dining here since early 2000, maybe 08. I've always loved the food. But tonight, tonight! I ordered the lamb biriani! It's gonna be a long time before I pick a different meal on the menu! Flavor bomb, succulent lamb, a hit of sour! I may be late, but it comes at my highest recommendation. Even over jollof rice, which was my favorite. Til today
