My dad and I ordered lamb curry and veggie appetizers. It was sooooo yummy! Lovely decor, Comfortable, and nice service. I love this family owned business. Don't be discouraged when you see that it's beside the gas station. It's very lovely inside the restaurant.

The Butter Chicken was a wonderful surprise with more complex and interesting spices than most other Indian restaurants. The garlic naan was thin enough that the garlic flavour didn't get lost in too much dough.
I wish I lived close enough to go here often!

Completely understated restaurant on the side of a country convenience store. But so good! We were really happy. Food was quick and amazing. Reasonably priced too. So good

Ordered a masala tea for takeout but it doesn’t look like a masala tea. Just a boiling water and can’t sense any spices (masala) in it. Paid $3.29 for just boiled water & milk in it.

We took a chance and trusted google reviews! This place didn’t disappoint. We had butter chicken, cheesy naan, and unsweetened iced tea. I don’t know what he did to the tea but it was amazing. All of it was. We wouldn’t have stopped or noticed this little place if not for the reviews. Delicious and satisfying.

Food was excellent!!! Staff was so friendly, and helpful. Our waiter was a very pleasant young man. The restaurant it self is so VERY clean and nicely done up. 10 stars if I could give it.

Really shocking to eat such high quality Indian food in so remote an area. I've eaten here twice--once as dine-in as a couple, and once as take-out for a large group of twenty people. Both times the food was hot, fresh, delicious, and of very high quality. The butter chicken, saag paneer, and lamb rogan josh were also all very distinct from eachother flavor-wise, which isn't always the case at side-of-the-road restaurants. The garlic naan was some of the best I've had in a long time too. Full send.
The Medium heat was very nice, about as spicy as a Buffalo wing. The Spicy heat level wasn't assaultive, but spicier than a Buffalo wing.
Also note, the curries come with a side of rice, so no need to order extra.

Excellent food! We eat Indian food regularly and this is now one of my favorite spots!
We ordered 1 lunch special and split it. The lunch special was 1 curry, 1 Nan or Roti bread, salad, dessert, and tea for 1 price. We had the Kadahi Murg (medium spice) with rice, garlic Nan, green salad, Vegetable Pakora, an unknown dessert, and hot masala tea. Everything was excellent except the dessert. The Kadahi Murg was perfectly spiced, lots of sauce; the rice was perfectly cooked; the Nan was good and hot; the Vegetable Pakora was fair (the grease tasted a little old); the salad was a small, small amount diced cucumber, tomato, and onions (very good); the masala tea was strong and hot. The dessert was weird, not like any Indian dessert I've ever had. My husband thought it was just sour cream with something in it. It came on a large tray as seen in the picture. The portion size was generous because we were both full after sharing. The service was good and friendly. The bathroom was clean. This was just a hole in the wall next to a gas station, but so good. We'd definitely go back if we lived in the area. We highly recommend it.
