★★★★★ 5.0 Aviad Tal · Jul 2025

The food was soo good and the lady who run the place was super nice. I was in D.C for just few days and I tried to eat there every day. And the divine mango lassi is a must!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Azeez Hameed · Dec 2024

I got the half n half, tikka masala was okay. Butter chicken, the meat was possibly spoilt or old, tasted awful. Not recommended

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Professor Stoic · Apr 2025

Only reason it’s not a 1 star is due the nice staff. For $15, you get nothing. Used to serve biryani with two sides for $11. Now just plain rice and two sides and not even half the quantity they used to serve before. I understand inflation but this is just sheer greed. No wonder the average rating is abysmal for this place. Businesses thrive if you provide high quality product. People are always willing to pay the premium for a nice product. Unless they fix the price or the quality or both, I don’t see any of us going there hereafter

★★★☆☆ 3.0 ML Ridge · Mar 2025

They used to have really good food when I started to go there. Initially, everything was good, but later on, the quality dipped. I don't know why. The rice felt stale, chicken undercooked, and chickpeas were a bit old. I liked the place, and I would want it to get back on its feet.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Stephanie Haynes · Aug 2025

Not as good as it used to be. Not as flavorful and they don’t give you as much. Totally disappointed. The lady working there was very nice, but it just wasn’t as good as it used to be.
