Great place! We came here after my husband’s car broke down and trying a new place made the day better. They gave us custard on the house and the buttered chicken was to die for. The whole building smelled great, friendly staff, and i highly recommend ?
October 2024
We ordered chilli chicken ( dinner 8/6/2024), it was so hard and the chicken coating was not crispy at all. When we let them know about it, they didn't show any courtesy or didn't even explain any things.
Taste: 1 out of 5.
Waste of money and time.

The restaurant is in a strip plaza which may discourage you, but inside, it's great. Very large menu with lots of favorites. The tandoori chicken is an enormous portion. The chicken Tikka masala is also a lot and very flavorful. Will return
