We love this place. We started with the sea bass wrapped in a banana leaf. Divine! My husband has chicken tika, med hot, i enjoyed a Vergara eggplant dish. Delicious. We drove over 400 miles for this meal as we just arrived back in the area, NC. We can't wait till we are back in our home in Virginia to make this our date night spot again. We ended with a special treat the kashmirini naan !

Nice place. Good ambience and hygienic. The food was good. The dal and paneer was good the papdi chat was a disappointment. Also the hara bhara kabab turned out to be aloo tikki. Overall I would say the place is good but the food is average.
August 2025
What an amazing find! The food here is absolutely divine like I could literally not find a single flaw with it. On top of that the employees are very friendly and servers are attentive. The restaurant itself is incredibly clean and well cared for plus there's a small customer parking lot. If you're in the area stop in and get some delicious food. They also have door dash and grub hub for all those home bodies or busy workers out there. Cannot say enough nice things!...
