It doesnt look like much from the road. We thought it was a tutoring place from the distance...we were very much mistaken. We ordered a bunch of different items to sample...and everything (everything) was delicious. This is definitely a go to place for us now.

My go to spot for butter chicken, Tikka Masala and Vindaloo-- reasonably priced and mom and pop owned-- I don't know why they aren't busier! They are a gem near my house!

Have always liked the food here. The taste is good and not too spicy. It's always been consistently good over the years

This place is good and neat.Has a easy and techie order menu through the QR code and can order and pay through your mobile.** Taste - I personally didnt like it (every dish is basic with just an addition of chaat masala on all dishes)** Quantity - Not Satisfactory.As listed in the pictures, the kathi rolls were like kids edition.Tandoori momos dont taste great(dont go by the looks .. like i did)(these are veg)** Staff - Good. Very responsive and brings orders in less than 5minutesMay b try chaat mix because they insisted it for next time saying its their spl dish .(we didn't had it)

My husband and I go here all the time! Their updated menu & service is incredible and must try! Most recently we ordered for a small party and all items were a hit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND (favs are: Chaats, Paneer Kathi Rolls & Vada Pav)

The food was good. Everything else was not. This is actually a kind hearted review. They need to rethink a lot of things. This is a concept restaurant and the concept needs rethinking

Easy, contactless ordering through QR code. I had the chicken vindaloo and momo. I prefer steamed momo, but their version was nice nonetheless. Vindaloo was delicious. Check this place out.

Excellent food and service. Friendly and helpful staff. Also, the interior is decorated in a very unique way. There are large paintings that show depictions of current day India from end to end, with a few serious and a few comical depictions. We loved it and look forward to returning again.

We have passed by this eatery regularly without any encouragement to go and eat at this place. Today went for a lunch.I must say, it was a pleasant experience with both ambience of the place along with superb food.A thoughtful way of serving lunch platter. We enjoyed it!!Remember, It is way better than all-you-can-eat Indian buffet in this area reason being, all-you-can-eat places waste tons of food and quality - you know what I'm talking about.No, your brain won't get drain at this eatery.

Wanted to go to the Desi breakfast place in the same shopping center but it was closed. So we came here instead. Was a bit confused about how to order, was going to order through the toast app, but saw that there was an iPad at the bar to order at. Ordered the samosas as an appetizer. Two big golden samosas, but it was frozen inside. They took it back and made us new ones. But I didn't like the idea that they were straight from the freezer into the fryer. They tasted fine. I ordered the lamb vindaloo. Didn't get to specify how spicy I wanted it, but it was spicy. I expect vindaloo's to be spicy and tangy, but this tang was a little too intense. It also seemed to be heavily tomato-based. It wasn't great. The naan was also cool, did not seem fresh from the oven. My husband got the butter chicken, the sauce was rich and flavorful. I was disappointed in the food. Ambiance wise, there was some interesting decorative elements, but most the restaurant seemed empty and lacking potential.

Space was bright and open. Food was delicious and quick. Surprised I don't get more recommendations to go here. Noticed they had Nashville hot chicken there will try it next time we just had the Indian food.

Food was delicious and veg dumblings (quick bites) were worth to taste. Need to try their wings next time. Open and cool atmosphere. Will be back ?.

My husband and I came here on a Wednesday evening, and we had such a pleasant experience! We got the Kathi Roll, which was excellent! The chicken was so tender. We also had the best Chicken 65 here - the spice level was ideal. Kishore Ji checked in with us repeatedly to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. It felt wonderful to have the owner caring so much about our needs. Truly elevated a typical dinner out to a memorable experience! Cannot wait to come here again and try their kabobs next!

This was the first time we visited here for quick snack. We ordered vada pav and lunch plate. I would like to mentioned after such a long time we had so delicious vada pav here. If nothing else, but I would definitely visit again just to have vada pav :-)Apart from that, this place is clean, well maintained and very friendly staff !
