★★★★★ 5.0 He Wi · Dec 2025

Really good food, service was unfriendly, place was nicer than in photos. Lots of choices that are ‘not common’. If you want to go for something other than butter chicken, korma, madras, and vindaloo, this is the place. We ordered one chicken with green chili and coconut (so refreshing and creamy at the same time, just yum!) and one lamb biryani (this was good as expected but the raita (yogurt dressing) was what elevated it). For deserts we ordered two things: kheer and I don’t remember the name. Even for desserts, they had uncommon ones too. If you’re feeling adventurous, come here. Service was not unfriendly and very quick! Price was reasonable!

Local traditional Indian restaurant that has been in Murray Hill for years. The food has plenty of flavor and there a lot of options to choose from. Servers are great and very attentive. The place has a more modern bright design aesthetic. The only unfortunate part is everything is a la carte so it does add up quickly. If you do find yourself frequenting the restaurant you should join their rewards program.

We ordered samosas , dum chicken biryani , baingan and sag paneer . All were nicely cooked and marinated . I could actually see eggplants and was not excess of masala’s .only one change was that the chicken Tika masala was a bit tangy and sweet for my taste . The goan fish was not sure really goan and lacked coconut taste imho.

Went here on a Friday in the early evening with a pulsd deal. We had a reservation but if you're just coming in for a meal, you don't need one. The place was not busy around 6pm on the Friday we came. The service was attentive, the food was absolutely outstanding and the pricing was decent for NYC. My only complaint was that the non-rice entrees do not come with a side of rice, so you have to order it separately, which does increase the cost of the meal. Still worth it because everybody was so flavorful and my chicken korma was so unbelievably tender. Excited to go again!

★★★★★ 5.0 Anil Singh · Jun 2025

A wide variety of Indian dishes. I was quite impressed with the digital menu presented on tablets. I wanted to try everything, but we settled on the samosas, lamb kebabs, dal me kala, garlic naan, and murgh butter masala. All excellent dishes. The mango lassi was sweet but not overpowering. All in all, it's a great restaurant.
