The food was full of authentic flavor, perfectly spiced, and served fresh. Every dish—from the curries to the naan—tasted homemade and carefully prepared. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Prices were fair for the quality and portion size. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys real Indian cuisine.

Would surely recommend this place for authentic Indian food!! We had Goat Dum Biryani, Veg Tikka Masala, rasmalai and gajar halwa for togo and loved all of the items!! The meat in the Biryani was so well cooked and it also came with a really nice raita. Veg Tikka Masala had lot of veggies which was something we were hoping for but they exceeded our expectations. Best part was the sweets, both rasmalai and gajar halwa were so yum! All the food was so good that we would surely go...

Really nice place with light nice Indian music.
Services are amazing, staff is very kind and helpful. I like the menue. In their weekend buffet they have chicken curry, meat salad, 3 type of rice, daal, salad pakoras etc.
The only thing I didn't like was that,
They were expecting guests to leave early as I saw the waiter approached the guest next to us to leave if they can as they have new guests to attend the buffet which is not respectful...
